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.
Check it out here:

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

Busy as a bee

Well I haven’t been but the other members of the Euro bee has.

I’ve joined my first bee and was assigned with the first month. I sent out my fabric and instructions just before I went on vacation Saturday before last.

And already there are some amazing blocks popping up in the flickr group. I’m really excited about them, and get butterflies in my stomach every time there is a new pic.

Since we’ve been on vacation I haven’t been doing any sewing, but I brought along some embroidery supplies including patterns from Polka dot bunny. I’m thinking about using them for a fairy tale wall hanging, mixed with Heather Ross far far away,

and other fairytale themed fabric.

When returning from vacation Nicole from polka dot bunny

had sent me this great package filled with great goodies.

Thank you Nicole, it really made it so much better to return to normal life again.

Take care

Isa

I'm in love

I finished the one-a-day nine patch quiltalong top, and I love it.

I think it's going to be favorite quilt.

I sashed it with white 1 inch strips, because I wanted the blocks being close together

in this way the colorway idea seems to be more obvious.

I made long strips from the leftover squares,

and Marie was very helpful in arranging them...

I finished the quilt with another 1 inch white border, but I must have erased it,

because I can't seem to find anywhere on the computer or in the camera.

But it looks great, you'll have to take my word for it :-)

I think I'll quilt in a relative simple grid pattern since I really don't want to ruin it, and sometime simple is better.

And I signed up for a bug softie swap Rebecca from Blinking flights is hosting, I've been admiring her bugs for quite some time and she's been kind enough to make the pattern free for download.

I've been signed up with Christy from Sweet tidings, she said she liked polka dots, and when looking at this sunday stash I should be able to find some dots :-)

And I won a giveaway! Nicole had a great giveaway on her blog polkadotbunny, with some lovely vintage embroidery patterns and some floss and fabric to go with it. Nicole makes some really cute embroidery patterns, wich you can find in her etsy shop. She also has a Flickr group where you can see the patterns all stitched up.

I hope your day have been as good as mine.

and other little surprises for someone special.

Therefore I post my Sunday stash today.

I'm planning on making nine patches for twiddletails three by three swap.

I looove give aways, I already got one going on for the Sewn blog launch party. But my birthday is coming up (this Saturday I'm 32 ) and I really love the sew mama sew blog.

I learned and got so much inspiration from that blog, and who can resist a give-away day, it’s such a good idea.

...So I’m in….

This is what you can win on my blog:

Two pocket sized moleskin journals 3.5 × 5.5 inch,

and approximately 3 yards black trim and 3 yards bias tape

To be entered in the give away just leave a comment in this post.
The winner will be drawn randomly on May 31,

so be sure to leave a comment before then.

Thank you

Blog launch party giveaway

To celebrate the launch of a new sewing website I’ve decided to join the launch party blog giveaway.
Even though I’m in the opposite end of the world I think the idea is so exciting. And as a relatively new quilter I’ve been much inspired of Sarah Fielke and therefore want to help her give the website a good start.

And this is what you can win from my blog:

The first prize is 3 fat quarters from Paula Prass’ Flights of Fancy line

The second prize is 3 fat quartes from Kaffe fasset’ organic dots.



To win, just leave a comment to this post before June 8, 2009. Where the winners will be drawn.
Good luck
Isa
