Little man's birthday and quilting

Jonas and I 

So yesterday we spend the Day with Markus' family. In was a special occasion. This little guy on the pictures here turned three. His name is Jonas and he the son of Markus' cousin Tanja.
He just grabbed my phone and asked: "picture,please?" So we had a fun little photo session and his mom had time for some amazing cake!
It was fun to be back home!

Markus joined us! 

 

Today I finished the Top of my quilt! Sad  it is not quilted yet but I already like it! Its matching the wall! 

P.S.: Thrid post this month. guess that means no exams yet! 

Quilting...well first of all: Patchwork

Good morning!
Today is "All Saints' Day" (Allerheiligen) in Germany. Here in Bavaria it is a official holiday and I do not have  school.
Since it is gloomy  weather today and I still got headaches I decieded to work on my Quilt!
The Top is almost done! Right now I am working on the seam. At least that is how we call it in Germany!
My beloved boyfriend has to work today (although it is a holiday...). This means I got space and time to make a mess and lay out my sewing things all over the living room!

The Plan is to finish the Top this weekend. My Grandmom  is something like a crafting and quilting champion for me. She will come back to Munich after spending a couple of weeks in Rosenheim, where she grew up.
Then the plan is to decide about the back of my quilt: What kind of fabiric and of course which colour!
My Grandmom does all quilting by hand. I am way to impatient for that, so I am going to give maschine quilting a try... Hopefully it is going to work! But I will let you know.

Long time no see

so hello...
I haven't been blogging in a long time. somehow i just didn't feel like blogging. kind of fed up.
But here is an update about the last couple of months...

June:
NEW CAR

Jochberg

Markus moved in with me and started a new job in Munich. like, like, like....and chaos... at least in the beginning. he has a bunch of stuff and my stuff is here as well... so it took us awhile until everything had been organised! and some mountaineering...

July: 
Tons of University exams. studying, studying, studying.

August: 
SUMMER BREAK. Went to Croatia with some friends. Great times. then spend two weeks at Mallorca, Spain with the family. Really needed some time off.

September: 

Sunset at Oktoberfest

Back to work. back to university. hello again every day life. but with tons of new motivation
Started my first Quilt with the help of my Grandmom who is an awesome Quilter. She was in the US during Spring and bought me a lot of Fabric. It is way cheaper there!
Oktoberfest = FUN (and yes, Oktoberfest is in September. do not ask me why!)

Oktober: 
University... and this weekend: Oct. 27 2012: THE FIRST SNOW! I am deeply in love with this winter wonderland! Went skiing with the skiing instructors of the DSLV and the ski school I am teaching at. The weather was amazing and I had a really great weekend and sore muscels on Monday.
