Podcast - the big thing in the quilting arena just now!! The name is derived from Ipod and Broadcast. It’s a show you can download on you computer and listen to on your mp3player (or computer if you want). Some podcasts are done by professionals and some are done by amateurs - their common denominater […]

Several people have asked me what kind of sampler I’m making. This is the book I’m working from:

Lynne Edwards’ New Sampler Quilt Book: Twenty Techniques for Machine and Hand Patchwork: New Ideas New Methods
A good friend of mine, Bente and I never have time to go to classes, so we decided this was the next […]

I’ve tried to talk myself into starting this block since the beginning of January - but I’ve always had and excuse not to. Fortunatly I’m working on this with a good friend, Bente, so on our get togheter last night I had to start. Yesterday I marked the pieces and cut them out roughly. […]

I’ve been looking for dots everywhere - but all I see is stripes, flowers or other patterns… maybe I’m looking too hard… This week is so busy - but this weekend I’m going to Gothenburg with my husband - Hurrah! I can’t wait!

Stripes, stripes, stripes - suddenly there are stripes everywhere. Here are some of my stripy pictures: A bag I made last night to hold my stockings but unfortunately it was way too small. I have a nice bag - but need to make another. Awhile ago I sewed new curtains for my living room, I […]

 
I’m still kind of new to this blogging thing - so I forget to take pictures “in the making of”… I fell for this fabric in the fabric store, and originally thought to make some pants for Jenny, but I love the dress - and I finally got to use some of my ribbons. I’ve […]

I’m taking part in something called Theme weeks. It starts next weeks, and the theme is stripes and I really do want to make a stripy table runner. Gotta do it now. There is a button for this theme - but I need some help copying it. And I finished my daughters dress - I’ll […]
