Slow starter...

Ever since I began blogging in January, and discovered Blogger's BOM, I have wanted to make these blocks. It took me to the end of May to start, and now I have made three over the last couple of days. There's a link to the BOM at the bottom of my blog. These blocks are fun to make, and they are the perfect little project to do late in the evening. A really enjoyable occupation, and to catch up with the project I only have six more to do before the end of June.

The only dandelions I tolerate in my yard...

...are the ones on my Sunday morning coffee mug. Have a great day!

Pick-A-Pocket Purse

What a great way to display this bag in vibrant evening sunlight, golden radiating colors!
The free pattern is given here: Pick-A-Pocket Purse. This purse is great to use in warm summer days, it has six (!) pockets on the outside. It was fun to make!

A new Christmas Mystery

I always have to start new projects, this time it is the Mystery by the Norwegian designer AnnAKa that was in the latest issue of Quiltemagasinet.

I just finished it today at my terrace in 20 degrees heat. It is kind of strange to stitch a Christmas motif in the heat we are having right now.
Dandelions are popping up in the neighborhood, but I hunt them on our lawn, they are not allowed to show their yellow flowers on my property! I am also waiting for my apple tree to bloom, it would be great if that happened during the weekend!

A neglected BOM...

I have been neglecting the BOM 'Stitched by me' by Lynette Anderson for a while, because there have been too many other projects that got in the way. Now I have finally managed to start on Block 3 of this BOM. I hope I can make some progress over the weekend.

Cool Spoon & Fork wallhanging

It was fun to quilt this one! Two layers of batting and dense quilting makes a very nice effect on the retro spoon and fork.

The following picture shows the  Fast Finish Triangles for the hanging sleeve on the back, and details of the quilting.
