Quilting and sampler

Today I have done a bit of quilting. Last year I bought on the Brisbane Quilt Show a quilt, it contains 12 kits. Have done already several kits.




Here you can see the whole quilt.

Last week I received from Annelies a pattern from Amsterdam's coat of arms. As I am born in Amsterdam, I will embroider it and use it with my genealogy. Found a picture of the coat of arms.



Love embroidery, have done a bit of it myself. Got also a sampler from my mother which has been in my family since the war years. During these my father had a second hand furniture shop and had bought it from a deceased estate. The lady was a "diaconess". My mum had it framed. It is nearly 200 hunderd years old.



Am a member of the dutch yahoogroup puzzleblocks, this year each has a turn and makes a pattern of a house. Next month it is my turn to make the pattern for a house. Tomorrow will have to start with it, have a look aroud my area and see if I can find a nice queensland home.
