Sisters

Two blocks - same pattern, inspired by the George coverlet at the V&A. When I drafted the pattern, I did not care too much for the center, so I made a twist of my own - a star.

While I was at it, I made another with a different mood.

Two sisters - same origin, but different. I have not yet made a smaller version of this pattern.

Finally, a week ago, our cherry trees were in bloom - now the surrounding ground is covered in white petals. Now our apple trees are in full pinkish bloom - spring is exploding before our eyes. 

Inspirational book

I now know what I want to be when I grow up - brodeuse! 

It is a wonderful, wonderful book. Just have a (little) look.

Thank you so much for the kind words about my embroidery! I have some more learning to do to acheive anyting like the picture above...

I'll be back with a more quilt related post later.

By the way: I'd be very appreciative to know if anyone has any impressions of Dublin, Ireland. Any tips about interesting things to see or do? Tudelu!
