I've made a few blocks now for the #modtvquilt by @colourwerx
I was measuring and cutting the fabrics for 1 block, then sewed it, and measure and cut again for the next block. Very inefficient and this didn't work for me...
So this morning I ironed all the fabrics that I have selected for this quilt and started cutting.
And its done, I've cut (almost) all the parts for this cute quilt, I only need the small antenna fabrics. Later I will decide which TV set gets which screen.
All stacked and labelled, so now I can start sewing all the blocks without interruptions.
Now I only need to find some time, there's work again tomorrow and 2 activities planned this weekend, so we'll see... 😏

I couldn't really decide what colour sweater I wanted, so I picked all the colours 😜
It looks like I tripped in the paint aisle of the art supply store...
Life's too short to wear boring clothes!
I ordered this one from @alohafromdeer, I'm always very content with their sweaters ❤️

Before I travelled to Houston I received this book

Before I travelled to Houston I received this book from the UK. It tells the story of the fabrics archive from the famous shop Liberty of London. So a little bit about the history of the shop, its owner, the designers and how they run and preserve their archives. Interesting read 👍

A lot of ideas for quilts are going through my hea

A lot of ideas for quilts are going through my head lately. Most are machine oriented, because that's a skill I want to develop more.
One of these ideas started about a year ago when I bought a fat quarter bundle from @quiltboutique.nl of the @tulapink solids called "Dragons Breath" and "Unicorn Poop".
The idea is to combine 4 colours (2 dark and 2 light) into 1 log cabin block. Starting with small strips and switching to bigger strips later.
This is the first test block, so far I like where this is going.
I've drawn the log cabin myself on #rasterquick, that's the foundation piecing fabric with 1x1 cm squares printed on it. That makes sewing a log cabin a bit easier.

What's on tv tonight? It's "The Amazing Race", the adventure reality travel tv show. And it seems that the contestants are in the Swiss Alps right now 😁
This is my 3rd block for the #modtvquilt by @colourwerx
For this block I've used the #colouricious
Collection and the #cheersbatik, both available at @colourwerx
The print for the tv screen is a leftover from my #adamandstevequilt
I'm not completely convinced about my choice of fabric for the antenna. I've chosen it in the evening without daylight. For now I will leave it as it is, and see how it looks with all the other blocks ready. I can always change it later.
Something different: unfortunately I see that a lot of Instagram accounts that I follow are being hacked the last couple of days, and apparently it's very hard (if not impossible) to regain access to your own page and pictures again. Please be careful with DM messages from people asking you to join their new clothing business or step into other business ventures, don't click on any links that you don't trust. And as an extra safety activate the 2 step verification in your settings. I know: it's very easy to fall into their trap, but it would be a shame to loose your own content here on IG...

What's on TV tonight? Well, of course a program about cats, who doesn't love cats!? 😻
Our Teddy and Ollie approve that I used them as inspiration for the next block for my #modtvquilt by @colourwerx

Today I've made the very first 📺 block for my #modtvquilt by @colourwerx
Not enterily perfect, but I think the little error won't be visible in the entire quilt, and now I know where I need to pay extra attention.
The pattern is very clear and there are 4 clips available on YouTube where every step is explained. No exact templates needed or precise cutting: it's mainly slice-sew-slice to make everything fit, quite liberating actually.
I like this first block a lot, I love how vibrant the colours are. I have several cute and sometimes a bit cheeky ideas for the TV screens, so it's a great way to showcase nice prints as if it's a TV show 📺.
Stay tuned for the next blocks 👍

Autumn kicked in over here with wind and rain and this weekend the first signs of winter are in the forecast.
That also means: less daylight to take good pics... The colours in this pic don't do any justice to the vibrancy of these gorgeous fabrics that I bought at @quiltfestival in Houston from @colourwerx
Making a quilt with these pretties will be so much fun, get ready for a colour explosion! This weekend the first cutting and sewing will be done 👍
I will start the whimsical #modtvquilt , really looking forward to work with these colours.

When I heard Kaffe Fassett speak at QuiltFestival

When I heard Kaffe Fassett speak at QuiltFestival in Houston in the Bernina stand for the launch of the special Bernina Kaffe Edition, I remembered his words that "sewing machines are so terribly white". Which is true in most cases...
I do not own a Bernina, but a Janome M6700P, which is...pretty white... 😁
So I went on Etsy to look for some sewing related stickers to brighten up my machine. Today they arrived and I love how colourful they are.
Our cat Ollie had a close look and I think he approves...

Special request by @pattync09 : yes I did buy a shirt after the Astros won. Not sure if this is one of the official victory shirts, but I saw these at my favourite deli Phoenicia 😊

I've had a few days now to let my trip to Houston

I've had a few days now to let my trip to Houston sink in and to think about all the things I've done, the things I've seen, the people I've met and the memories I've made.
Today I've written a posting (1 of 2) about my trip to @quiltfestival
You can read it on my Facebook page (search for Realmenstitch), but it's written in Dutch. If you go to my Wordpress blog, there's a Google Translate button on there that gives you a quite reasonable translation: https://realmenstitch.nl/2022/11/13/houston-quiltfestival-2022-deel-1/
A link to my blog is also in my bio.
The pic here is from the snowy mountaintops of Greenland that we flew over on the way to Houston.

I saw today that I forgot to mention one purchase at @quiltfestival
I bought these 2 rulers from @creativegrids The first one is a square 5.5x5.5 inch ruler, because you can never have enough rulers and I like working with smaller sized rulers on smaller projects.
And the second is this new ruler for machine quilting, the Petunia by Angela Walters @angelafmq

During the bustour yesterday around the Downtown area of Houston I saw a lot of colourful murals. I know not everyone will agree, but I love this type of public art in a city.
Here are some of the highlights.

This morning I got a message (thanks @phylliswhite 😘) that @quiltfestival would close 2 hours earlier today, so at 2 pm instead of 4 pm. That's because the Astros won the World Series and tomorrow there is the big celebration parade. They expect a million+ visitors, so Festival wants to be sure everyone can get out in time. Because tomorrow the Downtown area will be packed, and roads are closed off.
But tomorrow at 4:20pm is my return flight, so I'd have to leave right in the middle of the parade...not a good idea..
So this morning I booked a hotel for my last night near the airport. I went on the bustour and after that I went to Festival for the last time for some shopping and say goodbye to some people. Right now I'm in the hotel in Downtown, to pack my suitcase, so I can take an Uber later in the afternoon to the hotel at the airport. Tomorrow I can have a slow start of the day before I fly back home.
Here are some shots from the tour around the Downtown area. More postings about Festival will follow later.

This morning I attended a lecture by Teresa Duryea

This morning I attended a lecture by Teresa Duryea Wong @third_floor_quilts about the Native American quilt history at @quiltfestival . It was a very interesting lecture about parts of the US history that I had never heard before (which is not that surprising, since I'm not American) We've chatted earlier on Instagram, so before the lecture started we met and talked for a bit. I really liked to hear her stories, and Teresa told us she's working on a new book about this subject. As soon as it comes out in 2023 I will buy it. I own 2 other books from her and I love both of them.

Although I travel alone, I was sure I was going to meet a lot of nice people at @quiltfestival .
The highlight of all the people I've met, was meeting my new friend @quiltcarl
We're friends on Instagram for a while now, he's half-Dutch and lives in Palm Springs, so I was super excited to finally meet him in Houston.
We had dinner and lunch together and he's really the nicest guy, and such a talented quilter. Can you believe he only started quilting about 3 years ago!? 😯
Ive made a new friend, save travels back home Carl.
