We stopped for lunch at some lovely places in Teutoburger Wald, Elly (asleep!!) & Gerry dipped into some wine, I still don't know how they could walk after that!! The same for the men in Lederhosen LOL. It's all the rage in there, wine, beer & lederhosen !!.
Tineke and myself kept to Coffee & Earl Grey tea, boring but it kept me from falling of the hill.
Actually they had a Litre glass filled with Beer! and then the started to slap their legs and so on..... say no more..
In Holland my sister,niece and myself went to The Haque, we found this lovely Quilt shop "The Stitch Cottage" where we drooled for a couple of hours over all the fabrics and accessories. The owner "Sandra" made us feel so welcome, tea was ready for us!
Toile, one of my favorite fabrics. A couple of these fabrics were bought at the Quilt show at the NEC in Birmingham, we did the Saturday, it was wonderful, it's a must for next year! and probably 2 days :))
Autumn colours and the background fabric with the acorns is Japanese.
When I mentioned to my niece I would like some red materials she gave me these, thank you SB!!
So this winter I will have to do some patchwork & quilting, watch this space.......
BBD Loose Feathers
My BBD finish from last year, I did the hemming last week, another finish for 2010.
A lovely present arrived when we returned from our holiday, gorgeous "Scissoroo" Scissors in a tin, a lovely surprise from my friend Lyn in Australia.
Thank you Lyn!!
Thank you all so very much for your lovely comments, they make my day :))

Glad you had a good time in Germany etc. Lovely stash too! And your BBD pieces -- wow!
Beautiful stitching and lovely fabric!
Ooooh, what a lovely time you must've had in Germany! And what quilt shop in The Hague? If only I'd been a stitcher 25 years ago... I could have spent my days wandering around The Hague while I should have been at school more wisely :o)
Lovely fabrics! These pictures make my hands itch. Not good.
Oh Bertie love the sampler and the Toile, thanks for sharing your Holland/Germany pictures...
