Projekte tydens ons afsonderingsperiode

Hallo daar! Ek is so bly om weer agter my rekenaar te kan sit en 'n blog post te kan skryf. Sedert ons in afsondering gegaan het, vanaf 20 Maart tot nou, moes ek vele rolle vertolk, wat my natuurlik baie oorweldig het en my baie besig gehou het. Ek het min tyd gehad vir naaldwerk, maar hier is die projekte waarmee ek myself besig gehou het...

Hi there! I am so happy to be able to sit behind my pc and write a blog post. I had to play many roles since our lockdown started, from 20 March to now, which left me overwhelmed and busy. I did not have a lot of time for sewing, but these are the projects I have been busy with...

1. Maskers (natuurlik) / Masks (off course) 

 2 Die kinders se kwilte / The kids' quilts

Sussie se kwilt. Elkeen van hulle kon hul eie agterkant se materiaal kies. Sy het Paw Patrol gekies. Ek het die kwiltwerk 'n kombinasie van meandering en "doggy treats" gemaak. / DD's quilt. Each of them could chose their own backing. She chose Paw Patrol, so I did the quilting with meandering and "doggy treats"

 

Hier is die voltooide kwilt op haar bed. / Here is the finished quilt on her bed.

Boeta se kwilt. Hy het Minions vir sy agterkant gekies. Ek het die kwiltwerk blare gemaak, aangesien dit die tema van die materiale was (oerwoud) asook die blare van die Minions se klere. / DS's quilt. He chose Minions for his backing. I chose to quilt leaves for this quilt, as it fitted the theme of the fabric (jungle) as well as the outfits of the Minions.

3. Ek het toe besluit dat dit is tyd vir 'n projek, wat ek al lankal al wou maak - die kinders se "Memory Quilts". Ek het al hulle baba klere, tot en met 18 maande ouderdom, gehou juis vir hierdie projek. Sussie is die jongste en is nou 4, so dis tyd dat hierdie klere verwerk word. Enige klere wat oorbly na hierdie projek, sal vir liefdadigheid gegee word.

3. After this, I decided to take on a project that I have been wanting to do for years - the kids' Memory Quilts. I kept there clothes up to the age of 18 months just for this project. DD is my youngest and is now 4, so it is time for the clothes to be processed. The clothes that will be left over after the project, will be donated to charity.

 4. Ek het ook 'n paar DJ blokke gemaak. / I also completed a few DJ blocks

Tans word my naalwerk area hoofsaaklik as my tuis kantoor gebruik, so ek spandeer nie baie tyd aan my naalwerk nie. Hopelik sal dit binne-kort verander.

Tot later!

My sewing area is currently being used as a home office, so I am not spending much time on sewing. That will hopefully change soon.

Until later!
