Thank you so much Ann for passing the pattern for the little Klosjes (spools) on to me today. I was so excited to get started on my very first hand sewing project! I traced the pattern to my template plastic and found some reproduction prints and got started. For my first block I think I did pretty well, but I do hope they get better with each one, since this one is far from perfect.
I wish I would have timed myself once I started sewing so I could see how long it took me to make. Maybe on my next one. :) I can see right now, these little spools are going to be rather addicting, just like the little baskets are.
Here is a picture of my first spool and also the basket I was sewing today. This basket was sent to me from a dear FB friend from Australia, Lisa. Thanks Lisa. :) Thanks again Ann for sharing the spools pattern and taking me along with you on this journey. :) xoxox
Jan, your spool is beautiful! I am so thrilled for you, well done my dear! Excellent, I love the colours and Lisa's beautiful basket...
ReplyDeleteIt's LOVELY, Jan ! BRAVO ;>)
ReplyDeleteHope you'll make many, many more in order to get that gorgeous quilt of your dreams....

Thank you so much Ann and Nadine. I do plan to make many, many, MANY of them. :) Thank you so much Ann for teaching me to hand stitch. I love it so much!!!! =) xo
ReplyDeleteWell done, Jan! Yay! Thanks for such detailed photos - it has really helped me to understand how to draft templates of my own.
ReplyDeleteWell done Jan,
ReplyDeleteThe first is always the hardest...I look forward to seeing many more..
I love repro's fabric.

Jan, your Klosje looks soooo cute! Don't worry about timing yourself just yet, as you will be getting so much faster once you figure out your own system. :) Oh, I am so happy to meet you and to know that you'll be joining us in this lovely journey! Jan, we'll have so much fun together!
