So könnt ihr ein paar von mir genähte, von Buket bemalte textile Werke sehen. Heute habe ich eine neue Tasche genäht (mit Nadelstreifen und Jeans) - passend für die Ausstellungseröffnung (man ist seinem Ruf ja was schuldig, nä??!!) Ich arbeite an einem neuen Schnitt mit Klappe ... Als ich so beim Verzieren der Klappe(mit einem Bild von Buket - is ja klaa) hatte ich die Idee, dass da UNBEDINGT eine Häkelblüte drauf muss ... nur a) weiß ich nicht wie und b) macht meine Arthrose im Handgelenk die Sache ja auch nicht besser! Aber da musste ich nun durch und habe mich mal schlau gemacht und&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dresdenh3.com/ks/Anleitung%20Haekelblume.pdf">das</a> gefunden und dann meine allererst Häkelblüte gehäkelt (stolz!!!) Nicht perfekt, aber ok. Die zweite habe ich dann mit passendem Perlgarn Nr. 8 gehäkelt, was ja dann doch etwas Gepfriemel bedeutet hat... wieder nicht perfekt, aber trotzdem schön. Nur habe ich dann, als ich die Blüte in Sprühstärke erstränkt hatte, nicht bedacht, dasss diese uralten Stecknadeln vielleicht zu rosten anfangen könnten - was sie aber sofort getan haben :( aber ich konnte die Blüte noch retten und sie auf die Taschenklappe nähen!!

I have freehand machinestitched the poem on the back, the last line is on the front, under the tree saying "in love with this crazy world". The tree is made of a leftover piece of black leather, the rest is reused denim, vintage linen, some wool and some eco felt! Sewing the poem was ..... pffew!<br /> <br /> <i>Es ist ja Gott sei Dank doch noch Sommer geworden, hier bei uns in Deutschland ... ABER nun ist es für alles zu heiß ... in meinem ARbeitszimmer (unterm Dach) ist es einfach zu warm zum Nähen - und abei sollte ich soooo viel tun :(</i><br /> <i> Ich habe statt dessen nun im Wohnzimmer meinen Spiderweb Quilt "gestapelt" ... nun liegt das gute Stück hier und wartet darauf, gequiltet zu werden. Irgendwelche Vorschläge?????? Ich möchte VIEL handnähen, da es soo groß ist und ich keine Lust habe, das Teil unter die Nähmaschine zu wurschteln ....</i><br /> <i>Letztes Wochenende habe ich die Geburtstagstasche für meine Schwester fertig gestellt und na klar auch verschenkt. Sie wünschte sich eine GROSSE Tasche - nun, sie wurde ziemlich groß!!!!</i><br /> <i>Auf der Rückseite habe ich freihand mit der Nähmaschine ein Gedicht von Hermann Hesse "Gestutzte Eiche" gestickt, die letzte zeile kommt auf der Vorderseite unter dem Baum hervor "Verliebt in die verrückte Welt" - trotz allem, was war und kommt! Das Gedicht war eine Heidenarbeit ... kam aber super an :)</i><br /> <i>Die Tasche besteht aus einem großen Teil aus recycelten Materialien: Eco-Filz, Jeans und Leinen, das Leder für den Baum stammt noch von einer Lederjacke ....dazu kommt noch ein bißchen Wollfilz und IKEA-Holzstoff für innen...</i><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4221549021133484442-7100228014760658209?l=monaw.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A1gYf3wXgHU9H7w9-E1wNWhrevI/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A1gYf3wXgHU9H7w9-E1wNWhrevI/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A1gYf3wXgHU9H7w9-E1wNWhrevI/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/A1gYf3wXgHU9H7w9-E1wNWhrevI/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MonaW/~4/SsvIFPg11Qg" height="1" width="1"/>Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12489548434954195019noreply@blogger.com3http://monaw.blogspot.com/2011/08/it-is-summer-and-hot.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4221549021133484442.post-86652858718503465672011-08-15T11:55:00.000+02:002011-08-15T11:55:41.520+02:002011-08-15T11:55:41.520+02:00The last days I was doing this and that ...<br /> My friend Christina and I made a new bag for her - recycling a vintage towel:<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qCIDMoJZpFs/TkjqC7p66rI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/_AEV1VFXynE/s1600/10.08.2011+013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qCIDMoJZpFs/TkjqC7p66rI/AAAAAAAAAvQ/_AEV1VFXynE/s320/10.08.2011+013.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VK9RFMR6hd0/TkjqsXC_6VI/AAAAAAAAAvc/XysP-jr7cJU/s1600/10.08.2011+016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VK9RFMR6hd0/TkjqsXC_6VI/AAAAAAAAAvc/XysP-jr7cJU/s320/10.08.2011+016.jpg" width="226" /></a></div>This material was a pain in&nbsp; the neck :) but in real this bag is awesome!!!<br /> <br /> At the weekend I made some new fabric bracelets - somehow it seems I have lost colour!

Spoonflower printed it a second time as the first one did not arrive - what a pity! Their support was very fast and very kind!

I can not say "THANK YOU" enough to my bee <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/euro-bee-block/">mates</a> who helped me with sewing such wonderful blocks!! <br /> <br /> At the moment I´m working at a new quilt - big AND colourful ... Several ladies helped me sewing great spiderweb blocks: Bee Germany<a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/bee-germany/">Bee Germany</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/groups/bitsandpiecesbee/">bits and pieces bee</a> and some ladies from the spiderweb swap (these blocks I will use on the back!). As this one has to be BIG enough to snuggle in I have to make some blocks myself! The points are often not good, but as so many different people worked at it, my instructions were not clear enough - it just does not matter! This spiderweb quilt will be awesome - I´m sure!! I´m just glad that I do not have to sew all those blocks myself - doing about just 10 is really some work ...<br /> I have learned so much, how to write clear instructions in my bee groups! So you can read some of mine in the soon to be released book "Modern Blocks" by Satsh Books ...&nbsp; <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xvDfYXSHmBE/Tib4g02NIGI/AAAAAAAAAuA/SXbm1c8fGjc/s1600/18.07.2011+022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xvDfYXSHmBE/Tib4g02NIGI/AAAAAAAAAuA/SXbm1c8fGjc/s320/18.07.2011+022.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQZt1AW5jdI/Tib4ujzDJ_I/AAAAAAAAAuE/CW5s2rrCjGo/s1600/18.07.2011+019.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UQZt1AW5jdI/Tib4ujzDJ_I/AAAAAAAAAuE/CW5s2rrCjGo/s320/18.07.2011+019.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i>&nbsp;Im Moment arbeite ich an einem Spiderweb Quilt, der leider Gottes für meine Verhältnisse RIESIG werden muss, da man (Sohn) sich nicht richtig einkuscheln kann ... wie ich dann dieses Teil quilten soll, ist mir auch noch ein Rätsel ... Die Ecken passen oft nicht richtig ... aber das ist mir hier mal ausnahmsweise total egal! So viele verschiedene Frauen haben mir geholfen, diesen Quilt zu machen - ohne sie alle wäre ich noch nicht soweit!! Allein die ca. 10 Blöcke zu nähen, die mir zur großen Größe noch fehlen, ist schon richtig viel Arbeit!! Außerdem war meine Anleitung nicht klar genug ...
