Pff, sometimes it happens, no inspiration at all. That’s now. I want to start a lot of things but really starting, forget it. I fancy my own project for the Dutch Bag Ladies, Storm. I already know what to make, so I don’t know what’s preventing me from starting. Furthermore I have to make a start with the haiku assignment Emmy gave us, I haven’t got the faintest idea what that will become. Also the Stellar project of Around The World in 20 Quilts is shouting at me. But I’m not in the mood for that one yet. It have to be in A4 size and for me that’s such an enormous finicking. My coat is still going strong. The collar is almost finished. It’s becoming as thought of. Thang God for that because I always get sick of it when my hands doesn’t seem to make what my head already thought out. To get myself going I just doodled around on the sewing machine with this result.

Inspiratie, wat is dat / Inspiration, what’s that

Structuren / structures
In de zomer denk ik altijd, ‘oh bleef het maar altijd zomer’. Maar als het herfst wordt vind ik dat toch weer lekker. Beetje waaien, beetje regen en vooral, lekker veel kleuren buiten. Eigenlijk is de afwisseling gewoon leuk. In de herfst maak ik ook altijd veel foto’s van structuren. Of ze er nou meer zijn of dat ik er meer oog voor heb, ik weet het niet. Afgelopen week was ik in Inzell, in het zuiden van Duitsland. De herfst was daar al een stuk verder dan in Nederland. Prachtige rode en gele bomen en blauwe luchten. Echt genieten.Actually the change of seasons is nice. In autumn I always make a lot of pictures of structures. I don’t know whether there are more structures than of that have more eye for it. Last week I was in Inzell in the south of Germany. Autumn was much further there than it is here in Holland. Beautiful red and yellow trees and bright blue skies. I enjoyed it.

Tassie / Bag
I am busy making a coat of woollen fabric. But actually I am more busy with all matching things. The coat will be made of double sided wool, black with dark brown. I also bought two other colours. Red/orange and light green/dark green. I will make a matching bag of that.
Furthermore I want to make a stole and I want to embellish the collar of the coat. In the mean time the pattern is already cut. I only have to sit behind the sewing machine for an hour or so because the fabric doesn’t have to be seamed. But one way or the other, the work doesn’t run well. I think all the matching things are done soon, than it will turn cold but than my coat isn’t finished yet.

Dutch Bag Ladies
Yesterday we came together with the DBL Group. It was a pleasant and inspiring day. Some of us saw each other for the first time but fortunately everyone spoke the textile language. Funny to see the differences in computing the mandala. Some used just a piece, made a new part or repeated parts. Willy was our host and she spoiled us terribly. It was my honour to invent the new assignment. I choose the theme Storm. I gave everyone a piece of hat fabric, some fibres and 5 pieces of dyed fabric. I am curious to see what one will make of that. I already know what to do myselfzondag 5 oktober 2008
Klaar / finished
Het werd toch nog een last minute klusje. Morgen komen we met de Dutch Bag Ladies bij elkaar en gaan we elkaar de Mandala opdracht laten zien. Vanmiddag was mijn mandala eindelijk klaar. Uiteindelijk duurde het gedoe met het ijzerdraad iets langer dan gedacht. Een aantal keer opnieuw begonnen omdat de manier van buigen me niet aan stond. Wel tevreden met het eindresultaat.Gelukkig was ik wel al klaar met het maken van de nieuwe opdracht, daarover morgen meer.
Fortunately I was already finished with the new assignment. More tomorrow.
