To hot to sew!




Maybe the weather is to hot and sunny to sew... BUT... you can plan your next move. There are three projekts in progress......and today I bought a lot of treads in various colors. You need a LOT of colors! Well, if it is to hot you can RUN. So I went running for an hour and then some yoga ....now I'm  like a new person with more ideas for quiltprojekts! Do I need moore? Yes, of course!!! You never know when rainy days are here!!!

Back to reality.....


Thanks to you who read and comment my blogg!
My garden needs a great deal of work. Planting, watering, digging.... name it! I'm sweating and enjoying to see it grow. I also discover my studio again...looking at fabrics and plan my next projekt. But first....finish what I started.....fabrics to my Garden Journal blocks. Green and  ...? What pattern? The quilt on the photo is an old one. I found the inspiration from a picture at a cafe´ in Strassburgh many years ago.

Two stitcheries - the last ones.


Time flies!
Two weeks by the sea is over! Time really flies, especially when it's a good time. Well...back in Jämtland and puh.. it's hot. The garden and flowers are ok, our son has done a good job. Lucky him!!!!
This is the two last stitcheries for the moment. Now I have to decide what to do with them. Hmmm... Any suggestions?

More stitchery!





We went to Fjällbacka to feel the atmosphere. This is the place where Camilla Läckberg found the inspiration for her detective novels. But...this is an idyll far from murder and scary things. Here you can find all that makes the swedish westcoust so unique....archipelago, boats, boat landings, fishing huts and a good "fika".

Stitchery 3

Hi there!
The stitcheries are designed by Annie Downs and are all about gardening. When I stitch I think about our garden at home. Is the grass growing? Have the over hundred plants survived without my caring? Oh.. my figtree??? Well.... I'm sure our son is doing a great job watering and taking care of everything.
MMMMMM.... this evening we have eaten seafood, delicious prawns and crayfish...it's heaven!

..one more stitchery.


What a day! Bohus-Malmön is sunny and it's so quiet. I hear the waves and one or two seagulls. I can hear my own breath....that's not every day!...... schhhhhhhh.

Bohuslän in my heart!



.......and a stitchery a day.
This is one of the places where I love to be! The sea, cliffs, sun and wind..... it is summer. I enjoy lazy days reading, running, and making some stitcheries. The water is cold but it still feels like a luxery to swim in the sea........brrrrr.

Hi there!

Welcome Stina, you are my first follower! (je ske nu skriiv på utrikeska så alla förstår)
At last it is summer holiday and I´m looking forward to a long, long, warm and sunny summer!
- Hmmm, I haven't seen it yet! If it would rain I'm lucky to have my studio and unfinished quilts..... UFOs. And the garden.... there's a lot of work for sure.

Here's an UFO to finish!
