News from sewing
We've had everything from minus 10 to plus 10 degrees with sunshine recently... so much so that I even went on a little bike ride here... on the street... and on the sewing machine. I'm delighted with this little doily.
I also used selvedges and sewed a bag entirely out of selvedges. It's a lot of fun choosing the right combination.
Unfortunately we don't have skiing weather, but the sun often shines, so there are many tours outside... ... including cleaning vegetables from the farmer, savoy cabbage and chard.
The whole family went on a trip to Liberec to see the exhibition by Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy. It was so wonderful that I went back again a week later with my girlfriend.
Since I don't know if I'm allowed to show pictures of the exhibition here, there is only this cake from the cafe of the Museum of Fine Arts in Liberec.
We all enjoyed it... very. You can find pictures online.
With these hiking pictures I greet you all near and far.
See you soon Viola
Me gusta esos trabajos artesanos, que has hecho con esmero.
AntwortenLöschenUn abrazo.
You've had nice variety in your weather. We been in a deep freeze.
AntwortenLöschenAs always, Viola, you have been busy, both physically and creatively, enjoying life to the fullest. I will show the bag made from selvedges to Miriam. She will appreciate it and understand how it was all put together. Keep on having fun! Hugs - David
AntwortenLöschenCiao, la tua borsa è venuta molto bene ed è molto pratica. Quantab buona verdura !! La mostra, non la conosco, proverò a cercare le foto in internet. I paesaggi sono bellissimi !! Un saluto.
AntwortenLöschenYou sure are filling the cold winter months with lots of activity. I like the bag you made.
AntwortenLöschenI like the bag you made from salvages, so cute. I can tell you enjoy the winter weather. That cake looks so rich and delicious, I would have to had a cup of coffee with my slice.
AntwortenLöschenThe snow looks very inviting - while we melt in summer temperatures. The cake looks delicious. Very clever with the selvedges....I really must do something with my collection.
AntwortenLöschenLovely post! Have a nice new week!
AntwortenLöschenDet du syr ser så flott ut, kjære Viola. Her er det mye snø og flott skiføre. Hadde det vært mulig kunne jeg sendt deg snø herfra. Kaken ser veldig god ut.
AntwortenLöschenKlem fra Marit
Some lovely pictures online of the exhibition Viola and that cake looks delicious! Two lovely makes - the bicycle mat is lovely and the selvedge bag very smart. xx
AntwortenLöschenThat cake....yum!! You have been busy doing fun things. Of, I really like the bag!
AntwortenLöschenHi I really enjoyed your post-great stitching projects, good food pretty winter photos too-here is a link to my first bag finish https://hummingbirdwoodlandstudio.blogspot.com/2025/01/new-furnace-woes-and-slow-stitch-bag.html If you would like one let me know-I am making these with my hand dyed fabrics and sharing them
AntwortenLöschenI had to google Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy. Looks like an interesting exhibit!
AntwortenLöschenI LOVE the striped bag you made! You are so talented and do so many interesting things. :)
The doily and bag are delightful, and I'm loving the photos of the snowy landscapes. Temperatures have been up and down like a yo-yo here, but it has been mainly grey with hardly any sunshine.
AntwortenLöschenI too had to google Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy, but the exhibition sounds like my cup of tea! Thank you for sharing! xxx
How clever to put the bicycle in the quilt!!
AntwortenLöschenNot much up and down with the temperature here lately, just DOWN.
Was für eine schöne Tasche liebe Viola, die Stoffe hast Du ganz wunderbar zusammengestellt. Mmmhhh hungrig kann man werden wenn man die leckeren Bilder betrachtet, das sieht alles sehr köstlich aus. Die Ausstellung war sicher toll, das hätte mir sicher auch gefallen..
AntwortenLöschenLiebe Grüße
Kerstin und Helga
Love how you did the purse. Great job! Love the photos, as always.
AntwortenLöschenGreat winter photos and a lovely created purse. Lots of talent, Viola and you use it well.
AntwortenLöschenWonderful scenic pictures... and of course I love the sewing you did... they look wonderful!
AntwortenLöschenHugz
Så flink du er til å sy! Nydelige arbeider! Og du kommer deg ut til fine opplevelser i minusgrader og plussgrader.
AntwortenLöschenVarme klemmer til deg, Viola!
Truly beautiful sceneries
AntwortenLöschenYou have been sewing lovely pretties while winter winters away outside, Viola. That cake looks delish. How wonderful to see the exhibition by Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy twice.
AntwortenLöschenI always love your handwork! The photos with the snow and the sunny heaven are beautiful. You have a natural life and you are creating small miracles.
AntwortenLöschenMany greetings from the green-white Bavarian Forest to you!
Love your cute doily and bag! So pretty. Beautiful winter scenery too. That cake looks yummy. I had to google the painters. The exhibition looks interesting, glad you were able to go twice.
AntwortenLöschenLindas imagenes. me dio ganas del pastel. Te mando un beso.
AntwortenLöschenLovely photos. I do like your bag it does look good.
AntwortenLöschenIt's good you could get out and the food does look nice.
I like the bag that you sewed using selvedges! It's so colourful and unique.
AntwortenLöschenI love all your beautiful sewing creations. Good to see a little of your stunning countryside . Very cold in your corner. B x
AntwortenLöschenHej Viola!
AntwortenLöschenDu syr så fina saker, mitt senaste alster blev kräft haklappar till dottern, som hon önskat sig. Vi har ungefär likadant väder, dis och dimma men ingen snö.
Önskar dig en fin vecka / Hälsningar Marika
Så fantastiske grønnsaker du viser bilde av!
AntwortenLöschenOg alt du syr - det er så fint alt sammen. Det er rene kunstverk!
Vakker natur viser du også. Her i Oslo er det grått i dag, og været er helt uforutsigbart. En dag snø, en dag regn, en dag sol! Gleder meg til vår og sommer. Klem fra Tove/fargeneforteller
Love your selvedge bag and the doily is beautiful.
AntwortenLöschenHappy Monday!
Great use of scraps. Your bag looks really cute. Now I want a piece of that tasty looking cake.
AntwortenLöschenI love your bag and how you used the scraps. You are so very clever and talented. That street scene sure looks cold! But very pretty. I suspect you are fine showing photos, so long as they allow you to take them. Blogger doesn't care, it would only be a matter of the museum caring and since they allow photos, my guess is they would actually appreciate the share -- good promotion for their exhibits! Thanks for coming by this weekend!
AntwortenLöscheneine schöne Tasche hast du genäht
AntwortenLöschenReste verwertet ;)
lecker gekocht auch
und eine tolle Ausstellung besucht
aber besonders gefallen mir die Winterbilder
liebe Grüße
Rosi
You are an artist of sewing, photography and cooking.
AntwortenLöschenGreetings!
Buen domínio en todo, costura, fotos, manualidades, cocina, esas fotos son estupendas, imagino que se disfruta mucho con tanta actividad.
AntwortenLöschenFeliz semana.
Un Abrazo
Dina grytlappar och väskan är ju helt fantastiska! Vilket pillejobb! Du borde öppna en butik! Du kan verkligen vara stolt över dina konstverk.
AntwortenLöschenDu verkar ha mera snö än vad vi har i Stockholm. Eller rättare sagt, vi har ingen snö alls kvar sedan drygt en vecka tillbaka. Och snön som väderappen hotade med ikväll har inte anlänt än. Tack säger jag!
Kul med en trip och en utställning i Tjeckien. Hela bildkavalkaden var WOW!!!
Fun photos! You have more snow than we have in Minnesota, at this time. We've been short on snow this winter. I love your hand bag!!! So cute! And the coasters are fun, too! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
AntwortenLöschenWunderschöne Natur und deine selbst genähte Tasche gefällt mir auch sehr gut.
AntwortenLöschenLG aus Wien
Hej Viola,
AntwortenLöschenMooie winterfoto's. Maar ook fijn dat je weer kon fietsen. Leuk patchwork met de fiets. De tas is ook mooi geworden.
De tentoonstelling zal inspirerend zijn geweest.
Fijne week!
Lieve groet van Willy
The photos of the snow is so pretty! How sweet the little bike doily is! Your purse is delightful! I love all of the strips of fabric you chose.
AntwortenLöschenlovely photos....always! Your doily and purse are both so wonderful. You are so creative!
AntwortenLöschenSuch great photos! I love how the bike is going up the hill in your sewing project! So clever! It has been pretty cold where I am too. Lots of snow! I have been wanting to have a privacy fence put in our backyard but I will probably have to wait for it all to melt a little. The snow where you are looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!!
AntwortenLöschenI do like the bicycle on your sewing :)
AntwortenLöschenThose vegetables look good, and lovely photographs of the snow.
Enjoy these last days of January ... it's gone by so quickly.
All the best Jan

Se ve muy bonito el tapete y el bolso, me ha gustado mucho. Besos.
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful photos, Viola. I love the snowy fields. And how clever to use the selvedges for that bag. It will be useful, I'm sure. Enjoy these last January days.
AntwortenLöschenBonjour Viola,
AntwortenLöschenJ'aime beaucoup le sac que vous avez fabriqué. Vous êtes créative en couture !
Ici, le temps est aussi gris et sombre que les nouvelles qui nous parviennent de part le monde. Mais ne désespérons pas de l'humanité.
Je vous souhaite une bonne fin de semaine et merci comme toujours de vos gentils commentaires.
Amicalement
Hélène
It sounds like you’ve been keeping busy with such lovely activities! A bike ride, sewing, and even making a bag from selvedges—what a creative way to reuse fabric! It must have been quite fun choosing the right combinations for the bag. I’m also glad to hear you’ve had some sunny days for outdoor tours, even if skiing weather is still elusive. Visiting the Neo Rauch and Rosa Loy exhibition must have been inspiring, especially getting to go back for a second visit! It’s so nice to see you making the most of everything, from crafting to exploring.
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful photos! I especially like the snowy landscapes. There is no snow here, the weather is gray and dark today. Here is the first day of February.
AntwortenLöschenI have to say again and again that you are very creative. Hugs, Éva
A lovely idea to use up the fabric salvages to make a pretty bag. The doily mat is pretty too. Shame that you haven't had good skiing weather but you had a fun visit to Liberec instead. Keep busy, healthy and happy, Viola x
AntwortenLöschenOh, so ein wunderschöner Mangold, liebe Viola! Hat der Bauer ein Glashaus? Ich muss noch bis in den Sommer warten, bis hier auch wieder so schön saftig aussehender Mangold wächst... und freue mich jetzt schon drauf!
AntwortenLöschenDeine neuesten Quiltarbeiten sehen süß aus, ein feines Tascherl und ein hübsches Deckerl mit Fahrrad! Auch sonst hattest du Natur, Kultur und feines zum Schmausen, ich denke, dein Winter war bis jetzt nicht allzu schlecht! 😊
Alles Liebe aus Österreich, Traude

Så flotte syprosjekt :-)
AntwortenLöschenYour idea is very good and creative!
AntwortenLöschenWhat a beautiful and snowy Liberec!!
Have a beautiful Sunday Viola!
Looks way to cold for me to want to walk. LOVE the bicycle stitching. Sooooooooo cute. When it's cold and wet, or slippery out; it's great to be indoors doing some form of stitching/creating. Enjoy!!
AntwortenLöschenKjære Viola. Lenge siden sist! Håper alt er bra med deg, Ben og familie. Tenker tilbake til hyggelig besøk av dere for flere år siden. Vi har det fint. Jeg er pensjonist. Olav jobber fortsatt. Vi har fått 6 barnebarn.
AntwortenLöschenSer du syr vakre ting. Så kreativ du er! Jeg strikker mye men har også lyst til å begynne å sy med symaskin. Gleder meg til vår og hagearbeid. Alt godt ønskes dere fra Elisabeth i Larvik
I so enjoyed seeing your sewing creations! How beautiful!
AntwortenLöschenBeautiful pictures!
AntwortenLöschenSo much snow!
It's very cold but there's very little snow.
Nice to see your blog.
Janice.
