This pattern is from my old Dutch knitting book (Libelles 300 breisteken boek). It's a lovely addition to my blanket.

Foreign text somewhere
. . . was the name of the swap I did recently. Liz (left) and Marsha (right) sent me these ATC's. Liz used words from a German book about Moscow.
I used a part of a Chinese newspaper from the USA and scraps of origami paper to make log cabin ATC's.

Embroidery presents
I made this card for my father's birthday. The numbers are designed by Miriam. I used the sashiko pattern of the 7 background. I like the Assisi style of the numbers.
Two quilting friends celebrated their birthdays today and I made some presents for them. This lovely matroyshka is one of them. She's about 2 inch tall. I used this pattern.
And this lovely biscornu scissor fob is the second one. It's about 1,5 inch and I attached a crab claw. The pattern of this one is a retired freebie. There is a video of it here.

Groninger blanket blocks 25-27
Yesterday Miriam showed her Groninger blanket. She already crocheted 25 blocks together! That reminded me of my finished blocks, so here they are.

Casalguidi 5
I found a triangle pulled thread stitch in an old Dutch embroidery book for my Casalguidi background. I like the shape, so I share my way of stitching it. It's stitched in rows from right to left. The stitch is done over 3 x 6 threads. First you make a V-shape in 2 steps. Make a horizontal stitch from right to left by picking up 6 threads.
Then make a diagonal stitch from bottom to top.

Casalguidi 4

1 x 1 inch. The brown on the right side is the same stitch I tried here on the back of the fabric, but I changed the direction. The other stitch is new, I found it in a magazine I bought last week (Anna 5-2009). The brown line between the 2 stitches is the Portuguese stem stitch. I already know where to put my raised stem stitch band too!
