About Ningiu

Ningiu is the Greenlandic word for grandmother, since I'm part Greenlandic and because handicraft reminds me of my grandmother and mother I find the name appropriate.

Geese in the forest

Well I’ve decided to take the plunge into the paper piecing pool. I made six more geese’s.
I spent most of Sunday working with them, on and off in between lunch, dinner, nap times and so on.


I’m only going to use liberty fabrics in this one, because I think it will go well with the pattern, and give the quilt an antique look.
I’ve never done paper piecing before so it’s going to be a good learner


I’m not planning on being finished in August, instead I’ll make a bunch of blocks once in a while. So it’s going to be a long term project

(I guess it is no different than a lot of my other projects since I’m still having a hard time getting around to actually finishing them)

Have a good day

Sunday stash # 3

This week I’ve chosen some blue Liberty fabric.
I love the feel of this fabric

I’ve been thinking about joining Twiddletails Geese in the forest project.
I made a trial block to see how it looks:

I like it… But paper piecing takes a long time… I thought that with a little effort I could catch up and finish with thee others in august,

I don’t know what I was thinking, I must have gone mad.

Maybe I can still finish in august.... 2010 that is.

Thank you for all the nice comments on Marie’s teething. She’s doing much better, and have returned to her normal happy self.

I hope you have a good day.
