Golden Rider - Tchaikovsky - new project

Last weekend, I took a short train ride and, after a fifteen-minute walk, headed straight to the Golden Rider—my destination was this year's pottery market. I love all the market activity.

The monument was created between 1732 and 1734 and depicts Elector Frederick Augustus I—better known as Augustus the Strong—on his Lipizzaner stallion.

I loved the monument even as a child, certainly because of the horse and probably also because of the glittering gold.

For 30 years, the pottery market has been held at this square with selected ceramic artists...

great life band

among other fun

I hope you found something that might interest you. I didn't buy anything this time, but continued walking across the Elbe Bridge...

...to get to the Semperoper. After a nice snack, I watched the opera "Eugene Onegin" by Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky.

it was fantastic

I'm so happy because I still have two tickets and two shows left... and then the Christmas concerts – well, we're not there yet :-)))

It's pouring with rain today, and I've started a new project...

I want to work with a rotary cutter using the free-cutting technique and it will be a large blanket - my blanket no. 4.

I'm busy painting signs for this year's jams... that's really fun, too.

Love to all of you from Viola

I'm looking forward to seeing what you're up to.

I gave away No. 3

These are my treasures... the middle one is No. 1 - I kept this one for myself - above is No. 2, which was also made as a 40th birthday present and below is No. 3, which I gave away this summer. 

For this project, I used exclusively Kaffe Fassett fabrics, which are characterized by their wonderful color palette.

The blanket was quilted again in Anke's quilt shop, I sewed the binding by hand. And here is all the splendor... I'm very happy.

Otherwise, it's still fantastic in the forest

 

and in the garden...

small garden party - the roses bloom so beautifully

The very good harvest brings a lot of joy...

We always have very pleasant company while drinking coffee in the garden...

I send you warm greetings both near and far.
