Klosjes Saturday! Welcome Friends!







Welcome to my little City Balcony,

I have made some of Nadine's favourite Tea and Karendianne is bringing some scones later... Have you seen her Great Recession Spools: they are fantastic and she will surely make you laugh!




I thought you'd like to sit outside, even though it is still a bit chilly, I am sure for all you longing for Spring this will be just right. And for those of you enduring the heat of summer: Be refreshed. Maybe I can serve you some cold home-made Lavender Lemonade instead?





It has been so much fun visiting you all this week getting to know you better
and sharing your Klosjes.


Today I would like to welcome Rose Marie to our Little Band of Spoolers. She is doing such a lovely variation: applique... Please go see for yourself! And she assures me that the Maple Syrup harvest this year is looking to be a good one! :)

As for me, I have been keeping myself distracted from allergies by making another 30 Klosjes.




I passed the 100 mark without even realizing it! Yeay! I am having so much fun with these-- and getting to know all of you in the process is sheer Delight! I love sharing this project with you...





I also sent my Spring Surprise yesterday.
Here's a teaser for my swap-partner Tammy...




Hoping you enjoyed our little visit together.
Now, shall we perhaps continue this conversation at your place?

:)

ps. Please, go see Gerda's KlosjesQuilt:
she's almost done hand-quilting and it a sight to behold!

pps. And go Welcome Bea and Annemieke who also joined us this week, oh wow!
:)

  4. Tjonge! De 100 al gehaald. Zover ben ik nog niet. Ze zien er fantastisch uit. En het weer op Cyprus is blijkbaar een stuk beter dan hier in dit kikkerlandje: in mijn tuin bloeien alleen nog sneeuwklokjes, zoals je hebt gezien. Succes met je klosjes. Je gaat echt als een speer. Ben heel benieuwd hoe je quilt er straks uitziet: vast giga-fantastisch!

  6. Je hebt flink door geklost deze week dertig stuks en ze zien er TOP uit, als je zo door klost heb je me zo ingehaald, ha, ha, ha. Nou het is geen wedstrijd maar hobby.
    Fijn weekend geniet van het lekkere weer, wij kunnen alleen met de winterjas aan buiten zitten, maar de lente komt er aan.
    Groetjes Hennie.

  7. Your balcony is beckoning, your teapot is a beautiful shade of blue and I fear if I sit down for too long I'll never get anything done! I'm here and off to start my Klosjes. I don't think I'll near your stack of 100, which may I say is a grand MILESTONE! I'm utterly thrilled for you. Oh how happy that is. Before I get busy let me just say this balcony is really comfy and I think maybe just one quick sip of tea. The scones aren't quite ready...

  10. Such pretty flowers! Soon we will have them here too. Today it is pouring rain, dark and very damp. The perfect day to make Klosjes and drink lots of tea. How wonderful you have passed the 100 mark with your Klosjes! You go girl!

    I am trying to look away from your lovely blog at the moment because I can hear your "klosjes" calling me. They look soooo tempting. No, no, no I will resist.... if I can

My Patchwork Family Through Adoption

A Bit of Africa and China
Came knocking on our door
And in a home where there was longing
Now empty rooms no more

Like a Quilt of Many Colours
Our Family stitched together into One
God's Love and Grace for us Abundant
In the Miracle of our Sons
