Work to be done!


How hard can it be?

To organize and be effective ..... 
To calculate time....

The answer to it must be ..... very difficult!





First of all, have a great idea! ..... requires some inspiration and thoughts.
      Then...Make a sketch and pattern! ....now it's starting to look like something.
BUT!
What color scale should I have ..... which fabrics? ... buy new?.. recycled? ....
 use old ones ? ... print? .. paint? .... color?

 Headache!!!!

Time!
January...no hurry!
Februari...Start to think!...but no hurry!
March...oh,oh..must get something done!
Puuh!

Well...it's funny but it always seems to be alright in the end despite all the concerns.

So...I'm sure that at least two quilts will be finished to the exhibition late august.

Happy Quilting!

The first quilt of the year. Hurray! 

A good start of the year and hopefully there will be more quilts done.



In the beautiful Swedish winter landscape, the quilt becomes a piece of jewelry.

It was several months ago since I started experimenting sewing organic shapes.
 A challenge and very fun!
 The result is this quilt sewn in both new and recycled fabrics. 



Some embroidery and print with textile color to enhance the expression and structure.
 The quilt is tightly machine quilted.

Even this quilt has the small patches applied by hand, typical of some of my quilts.




The printed cross in orange lifts the design and makes it a little more exciting.




Now I'm going to continue in the spirit of creativity ... new quilts and designs!


Happy Quilting!
