Made with LOVE

Both fabric and feeling

First, two large floor pillow covers (28 x 28 inch) for my sister.

Made with Amy Butlers new fabric line LOVE

Second, two dolls for my nieces using a pattern from wee wonderful.

I’ve named them Marie and Laura after my own two girls,

I think my nieces will find it amusing that the dolls are named after their cousins.

And finally third, yet another weekend traveller bag for my mother in law, again using Denyse Schmidts County Fair fabric. She wished for one when she had seen the one I made for myself.

I hope your christmas will also be filled with LOVE

(both fabric and feeling)

Merry Christmas

Getting in the christmas spirit

Well it certainly feels like Santa read my letter… Look what arrived today in the mail.
This wonderful pillow made by the very talented Brioni. I had seen it in the Pillow swap talk flickr pool, and crossed my fingers it was coming my way!!

Another wish would be to win won of the fabulous prizes in FMF freaks giveaway.

Remember to come back for the Sew mama sew giveaway day, I'm also planning a giveaway in the FMF category.

There’s a craft Christmas market at school next week, and I feel like I have had my very own sewing sweatshop in the past couple off weeks, hence the decrease in blog-posts.

Well here is the fruit of my labour, well some of it, there’s a few things not quite finished yet…

Quilts and rattles and clutches (using a pattern from Keyka-lou) and ornaments and....

And softies...

And pillows...

I hope you have a great weekend

books, books and a pillow

This weeks Sunday stash is 3 new books and a calendar. The calendar is such a great idea filled with sewing tutorials from numerous talented bloggers,

I cheated a little and have already looked through it and found some have to do things.

And the Quilts’ baby book is very inspiring and very well written! I can only recommend this two. I have only glanced at the other books but they sure look promising too.

Speaking off books, I made a book case wall hanging using a pattern from Fun quilts modern quilt workshop book. I’ve promised Kristoffer he could hang it in his office.

On a different note, I finished my pillow cover and have sent it off to my secret partner;

I hope he/she will like it.

I have to admit that I think it turned out pretty ok :-)


I hope you had a great weekend.

My Euro bee quilt top

September was the first month in the Euro bee,

and it was also my month too send out fabric and instructions

I received a total of 19 blocks from the other 11 members,

and added just one block from myself.

And here is the result, I know I’m biased but I love it!

I love the fabric, the layout, the colors and just everything!

In case you ask, my own block is the one in the bottom right corner,

there is close-ups of the rest of the blocks in the flickr pool.

Thank you so much too the wonderful ladies from the Euro quilting bee

Aneela, Claudia, Constanca, Jo, Katy, Nadra, Monika, Rita, Tacha, Tine, Brioni

Have a great weekend

Swaps and bee's

This week I finally got some time to do some patchwork sewing. Time seems to fly by around here; there isn’t much time in between school, children, coocking and so on… So it was really fun to play with some fabric.

The first is a Euro bee block for Rita. She sent some gorgeous fabric and wanted a wonky log cabin, I’ve never done one before but it was fun trying.

The second is for the pillow talk swap, where my secret partner had revealed a love for hexagons, so I tried this layout, it’s been awhile since I did hexagons so the Y-seams where a bit tricky, I’m still debating if I should give it another try :-)

I hope your are having a great weekend

quilt festival

This is my entry for Amy’s online quilt festival.

My favourite quilt was finished during the summer.

I’ve been trying to take some new pics of it, but there isn’t enough light.

So you’ll have to do with the old one.

It’s a regular nine-patch that I made in Crazymomquilts-quiltalong.

I think this is my favourite quilt because it’s a colorway quilt (which I love) and because it’s made entirely of scraps from other quilt projects,

in that way I can recall other quilting projects when looking at it.

Thank you so much to Amy for hosting this festival, it’s such a wonderful idea!

And thank you for stopping by, I hope you’ll come back sometimes.

sunday stash

I know I'm a day late, but better late than never right?

I've joined the pillow talk swap over on flickr, and have been assigned a secret partner.

After a bit of stalking I pulled this fabric. I hope my secret partner likes it.

I sure feel in love with this combination.

I hope your weekend was good

small projects of the week

This Sunday was spent making these six coffee cup cozys,

using this tutorial from houseonhillraod.

I made them for Kristoffer to use in his office. They are made with Amy Butler’s Midwest modern fabric, and came together quite easy, but maybe a bit girly

And if you haven’t already heard, Amy from Parkcitygirl is hosting her second bloggers quilt festival, from October 9-16. Last time over 500 participated, and I really look forward to explore the blogland again.

I hope you had a great weekend.
