More fabric

Today a soft parcel landed in my postbox, with the Heirloom Citrine collection by Joel Dewberry.

These fabrics makes me want to eat a juicy orange, yum! But what shall I sew from these??

Have fun sewing!

Practical homemade bib

My DS need bibs, and I have had a hard time finding something suitable. I found a company that makes bibs I like, but for some reason they would not sell me any. I tried to apply for some through NAV (the proper organ to direct when you need to apply for remedies for handcapped people), but they turned me down.

Well, that is no problem, I`ll just make some myself, I thought. But what type of fabric can I use as backing, to keep the moist away from his clothes?? After searching on the internet I found a company in Finland that sell a fabric called PUL. It breathes, and is used together with fabric dipers. Naturally I bought  some, and yesterday I test sewed a bib.

I used a Japanese fabric.

Here you see the backing.

I have ordered some brown velcro, I hope it gets here tomorrow. I have to make a lot more of these.

Have fune sewing!

Post number 200!

Today me and my boys have spent a quiet day at home, watching the seremonies from New York and Washington. I have done some sewing as well, between the TV and cooking. I made this Dresden Plate block that will be the center of my Goodbye Table Cloth.


I will reveal the next step soon - the first frame around the center. I just love those colors!

Have fun sewing!

Choosing fabrics for a new project

I am starting on another Goodbye-quilt. A dear colleague is retiring by the end of this year, and the plan is to make her a table cloth. Well, that is the plan, but I am also playing with the idea of making her a lap quilt.



This is the fabrics I plan to use. If I choose the table cloth the center will be a Dresden Plate. If I end up making a lap quilt there will be several Dresden Plates. What do you think? Table cloth or lap quilt?

Have fun sewing!

PS. I am planning a Give Away. I am just waiting for the last prize to arrive in my mailbox :)

My table-runner-top

Man, where did time go?? My Saturday shopping lasted for a very long time (included a lovely lunch and picking up kids). There have been little time for sewing, but I have finished the top for my table runner.



It is quite big, and will look nice on my antique dining room table :)

Have fun sewing!

Christmas Quilt Along

Today Sue is hosting her special Christmas Quilt Along, and I am joining in as much as I can during the day.


I am starting on the table runner in the same fabrics as those in the quilt I posted about not long ago. I will blog about it during the day and afternoon, so make sure to come back for a peek :)

Have fun sewing!
