Fall flowers

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

I don’t know if it is the wonderful first days of fall or the equally wonderful last days of summer that is here. If I get an opportunity to sit outside in the warm summer sunshine this is what I work on:

When I left this alone for a couple of minutes the hexagons where flying […]

Julekalender

Tuesday, September 15th, 2009

Ingen lager julekalender til meg .. jeg har laget julekalender til mannen, men det har jeg ikke tid til lengre. Barna får kalender. Så jeg bare måtte bli med på konkurransen / reklamere for denne bloggen og hennes julekalender give-away.
Hun lager fortsatt julekalender til seks barn og mann. Imponerende.  Her er et bilde fra en […]

A new table runner in the making

Monday, September 14th, 2009

I made some pillows before the summer, but I didn’t have any table runner to match.

I suddenly got the idea of circles, and as thought so done:

I like the circles, but I don’t like the finished look of the circles. I think I need to have another seam around them … or do you have […]

I’ve fixed it. You should be able to comment now. Please do.

A walk in the neighborhood

Sunday, September 13th, 2009

Last weekend we went geocaching in our neighborhood. It’s nice to get to know the area we live in better. We tried to find this geocache in the winter, but due to the snow we didn’t find it. This time around we found it quickly.

A new discovery

Check out this store: Quiltespesialisten. The picture is from there.

Stitchery is something I’ve been wanting to try, maybe not angels but I do like the style.
Have a great weekend.

A fabric basket

Thursday, September 10th, 2009

I’ve been meaning to make fabric baskets for awhile. There are so many great tutorials out here. You might want to check this or this. I wanted to have a nice seam to close up the gap left open as I turned it outside out. I thought my sewing machine was sick, it was sewing […]

Emily’s quilt

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

I’m back!! I haven’t been idle even if I haven’t been blogging. What you see here is Emily’s quilt. Right now I’m exchanging the four extra white blocks with something that will fit better. However I have forgotten the measurements so that’ll be a challenge… And I’m working on a grandmothers garden quilt for […]

Mistake

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

I just read in another blog (yes, I’m spending way much more time reading other blogs than updating mine):
Nothing is a mistake - there is no win and no fail
There is only make.
I think that sums it up. I can just make.
