put binding on quilts but this time i enjoyed it a lot and as it was a soothing activity nicolette thank you 16 friday jan 2026 posted by nicolette in my life 10 comments thank you for all your kind words prayers and sympathy following my blogpost of january 6th the great emptiness and the loss remain but every word and gesture i ve received in recent weeks are comforting and give me a little strength to cope with the unreal reality i hope some time soon i will me up writing a crafty blogpost again i m finding some comfort in handquilting a small charity quilt and in knitting a scarf grieving is hard work and i really feel exhausted the month of december was the worst i ever had to live through with all the holiday celebrations right after new year s eve winter came with lots of cold ice snow and dark days i spent most of the time staying at home me myself and i the weather has changed for the better now sometimes the sun is even peaking through the clouds i have some very dear familymembers and friends checking in on me regularly and helping me out just after christmas i fell outside flat on my face it was damaged my glasses were out of shape and damaged i injured my knees and my hands but everything is fine now yesterday i bought a new pair of glasses for the first time i couldn t rely on the excellent judgement of my husband there already have been so many first times on my own and there will be many many more nicolette heartbroken 06 tuesday jan 2026 posted by nicolette in my life 33 comments it s with great sadness that i have to inform you that mr dc my husband of 51 years and my best friend of 55 years passed away on december 1st 2025 he stayed hopefull till the end we still had so many plans i feel heartbroken by this enormous loss nicolette rimram 05 friday sep 2025 posted by nicolette in my life 8 comments a while ago we switched to a new internet provider as a consequence i had to change my e mail address it took quite a bit of effort because the software on my old macbook is no longer supported by any of the s uppliers or providers my keyboard had also been broken for a long time so i had no choice but to buy a new macbook i ve been very busy these past few weeks and still am changing my email address in numerous accounts and log ins it took some time to have it sorted out in my wordpress account as well but finally it seems to be working so when you leave a comment i will be notified and receive an e mail in my new e mail inbox i hope my new e mail address will make it possible again to leave comments on blogs as well nicolette how are things going with the vases 24 sunday aug 2025 posted by nicolette in hand appliqué kim mclean quilts moda grunge quilts tula pink fabrics whimsical vases quilt 5 comments well i didn t work on the whimsical vass quilt design by kim mclean for some time until last week when i was cleaning up and came across the blocks however there s still a lot to do i finished the top border which is 84 wide and hard to photograph in one piece so i hope you get an impression from the five smaller photo s i love this part with the dog and whimsical shapes after cutting most of the center blocks to size i stitched some of them together they are set on point i can t finish the complete center as i still need to make some triangle setting blocks like this goat block it s all prepared so i can stitch the appliqué pieces down by hand i added some kaffe fassett fabric and now it s back to the big woods quilt again nicolette big woods 09 saturday aug 2025 posted by nicolette in big woods quilt hand appliqué machine stitched moda grunge quilts sarah fielke bom sarah fielke quilts tula pink fabrics 2 comments mr nutter went down into the big woods and found some acorns he is testing one he saw cornflowers growing along a small creek and was amused to find some mica shrooms he knew for sure he had to stay a little bit longer in this beautiful and peaceful part of the world i pinned this part of the quilt to the wolf and deer blocks and prepared the leaves which willl be appliquéd to the sashing strip it s getting harder and harder to hold everything in my hands stay tuned nicolette slodki 05 tuesday aug 2025 posted by nicolette in hand appliqué jen kingwell fabrics machine stitched moda grunge quilts sarah fielke bom sarah fielke quilts slodki bom quilt 3 comments i mentioned the new bom quilt for 2025 2026 by sarah fielke before it s called slodki you pronouce swodki and is inspired by polish tapestry though i did not intend to make a start as i m in the process of finishing the big woods quilt i could not help myself and had to make a test block when the instructions for month 1 arrived i did not have a plan for fabrics colours or whatsoever i searched the internet for inspiration and found some pictures like the fish above i used it as the inspiration for my test block my first test block for month 1 i used what i had on hand moda grunge white paper for the background and saxony for the background pieces of the appliqué the print fabrics are by jennifer kingwell called mixed bag of lollies i v put everything aside now so i can focus on the finish of the big woods quilt nicolette big woods nearing it s end 01 friday aug 2025 posted by nicolette in big woods quilt hand appliqué machinepieced moda grunge quilts sarah fielke bom sarah fielke quilts tula pink fabric 4 comments the last block i made for the big woods bom quilt is the squirrel block of month 12 mr nutter sarah fielke mr nutter is everyone s friend he enjoys reading crime novels and singing in the rain sundays are mr nutter s favourite because he always bakes a pecan pie and takes slices to all his neighbours he s quite the gem a lot of work is going into making these blocks the next step is to stitch the top left border block with cornflowers to mr nutter s block and to add the leaves onto the sashing strip that will be the last step before i will be able to assemble the left part of the quilt and add the remaining necessary leaves and then the left and right part can be assembled which will be quite a daunting job nicolette sugarberry christmas quilt 20 sunday jul 2025 posted by nicolette in appliqué bunny hill designs christmas hand appliqué machine stitched moda fabrics quilts sugarberry christmas 2 comments christmas in july i ve been working on blocks for the sugarberry christmas quilt design by bunny hill designs anne sutton two years ago in august i made the center block with the house one year ago i made some blocks for month 6 of the bom quilt last week i made the remaining blocks for month 6 and stitched all 18 blocks into the two borders not the best photo i also started working on month 4 i always like to skip hop jump through my projects have a nice sunday nicolette kira quilt top 16 wednesday jul 2025 posted by nicolette in blackandwhite quiltfabrics charity droomdekentjes kira quilt kona solids machine stitched moda bella solids moda fabrics 2 comments i needed 80 kira 6 quilt blocks to make this quilt top the quilt top is 48 x 60 122 x 153 cm it was a bit of a challenge to make and stitch the blocks in a rainbow kind of way but colours always make me happy i used my stash of black and white prints and my stash of moda bella and kona solids i m glad i could put them to good use as i m not likely going to use any of these fabrics for a quilt of my own i need to find me a backing i some perseverance to baste it and then quilt it on my domestic sewing machine once the quilt is finished it will be donated to droomdekentjes and hopefully bring a smile to a kids face nicolette older posts welcome welcome to my blog dutchcomfort my name is nicolette i live in the netherlands and i mainly write about my
