Scatterbrained quilter

....thats me! Sometimes (just sometimes) I wish I was better at finishing projects. I do finish some from time to time, but I am even better at starting new ones. (Sounds familiar?) Last week I started cutting these lovely fabrics I bought a while ago. One day it will become a snuggleup-quilt in my livingroom.



I can see "the end of the tunnel" when it comes to this BOM. It seem like I have been working on it for ages. I still have nine flowers to make, but today I wanted some variation, and started making the centres of the flowers.



Looking at the flowers just makes me happy :)

Have fun sewing!

Bags for little ladies

This weekend I have made two little bags. The bags are presents for twin girls, age 6. I hope they will like them.



It is only two weeks left until our Dear Jane adventure begins, and the countdown has started. I can`t wait to get started, and hope you will follow our journey :)

Have fun sewing!

Enjoying some weekend sewing

This weekend I have enjoyed myself in my sewingroom, making a little bag for my workphone, with a inside pocket for notebook and pen.



I had no pattern, just went along with the idea I had. If I make another one, I will make it a little bit wider, then I can fit my cell phone as well.




I have also made these two mugrugs. I started out with a dark teal fabric, and this is what I ended up using. Man, it is hard to change ones color palette! But then again, I don`t feel a strong need to do so. I guess I will always be a hopeless romantic :)

Have fun sewing!

I`m back!

Sorry folks! Time just flies by so fast these days, I tumble exhausted into bed every night. Big changes at work leaves little time to sew. Today I brought this lovely mugrug and bag with me to work.



They are both a Christmas gift from my dear friend Lena. So even if things are hectic at work, I have some fabric to look at and touch.



I bet I can find something in my office to fit into this cute little bag :)





Soo, what else have I been up to lately? Not much! This is what I have been working on lately. I have no idea what I`ll end up making!! I just like the colors :)

Next month things will change though. On February 12th we start on the great Dear Jane event. We are 13 women that for the next 8 months or so will meet up with one of my favourite quilt teachers (Hanne Schneider) and make our own versions of this wonderful quilt. And I have sworne that I will only hand sew..........

Have fun sewing!

Merry Christmas!

The last few weeks has been pretty hectic, with me getting promoted at work and all the Christmas comotion. Exiting times lies ahead!



Here are my last two finishes, make-up bags for my nieces, Ingrid and Sandra. The sewing machine has returned to its place in my sewing room, and for the rest of Christmas I plan to enjoy myself with hand sewing projects.



I got this cute mugrug from Sue in England. Thank you, Sue! I love it!! I didn`t have one, and this I am bringing to my new office. When I get stressed I can touch the lovely fabrics :)



So to all my friends out there, I wish you all a very, merry Christmas!

Some finishes

I have made a few gift bags, cute christmas presents don`t you think? The bags made of chistmas fabrics I am giving to the annual christmas marked. I will fill them with decorations for the christmas tree. (Do you call it trimmings??)




The two bags below I have made for two of my friends. I think I will fill them up with....chocolate, yum!




Have fun sewing!
