I've been enjoying a return to what started as my 100 day project, hand piecing my Merrow Croft quilt (pattern by Margaret Mew). If you haven't done any hand piecing before, I have a how-to with lots of tips in my hand piecing tutorial. Using some of my treasured hand printed fabrics by Karen Lewis and Lucy Engels, I'm enjoying the neutral cool vibe of these pieces.
Jeg har nu fået alle 12 blokke færdige I mini flower power sewalong fra Karen Lewis Textiles og mangler nu at montere blokkene på de lyslilla stoffer og så samle hele tæppet. De har været skønne at sy alle blokkene i Tula Pinks smukke stoffer.
Så fik jeg også mit petroleumsfarvede tæppe færdig. Jeg har selv quiltet det med overtransportør, helt enkelt. Lukkekanten af rester fra de forskellige blokke. Mønster er delvis fra Bettina Herskind og så er der resterende blokke, bl.a Nova Star quilt. Selve layouts er mit design.
Endnu et tæppe, en langvarig ufo helt tilbage fra ...

I came across Moda Fabric’s Rainbow Garden collection and was struck by the brightness of the prints and the whimsical garden motifs. So, I set out to design a quilt that would showcase those fabrics I loved so much. Yes, fabrics are often the source of inspiration for my designs.
“Summer Groove” measures 73″ x 87-1/2″ with blocks that finish at 6″, 10″, and 12″. I wanted to include ...

Her d. 28 april fik vi endelig en afklaring på hvad min mand fejler. Det er desværre hvad jeg selv havde mistanke om, og derfor bad vores praktiserende læge om at få ham udredt for demens. Steen har vaskulær demens, også kaldet blodpropsdemens. Han er kun lettere angrebet af det, altså det har ikke ramt hans motorik eller tale. Enkelte problemer med at huske ord, men nogle dage er bedre end ...

One of my favorite things about sewing is getting lost at the sound of my sewing machine! Sewing away, chain piecing, cutting fabric, and next thing you know many hours have passed, and I was able to escape to my happy place. That is the greatest part about this community, that we can all share this passion, and how we can relate to how happy it makes us! A lot of this joy starts with just choosing what fabrics speak to me, and as of recently, all I’ve been daydreaming about is going on a sunny vacation to the ...
