Princess cake

I have to brag a little about my creative and talented little sister, however, in an area other than sewing, namely baking. She has made this fabulous princess cake to celebrate the wedding of Crownprincess Victoria of Sweden and Daniel, which took place last saturday. And by the way, it tasted as good as it looks.

Congratulations!

Hipp hipp hurray for the teenager Lilja today!

2 year old star

Our Lilja turns 2 tomorrow so I have sewn a new harness for her. 

I used an old pair of jeans, black woven nylon strap with reflective stitching and a star to dot the "i"

Hope she likes it!

Here is the first prototype that I made, with fleece. It works well and doesn´t come off no matter what.

And a matching collar.

Mrs Stone and friends

 

F-8

I used both foundation and paper piecing on this block. The Church window block has 37 pieces.

In the garden

Apple flower buds

Peony bud and a busy ant

Plum blossom and blue sky

and in a year it will look like this...

K-2

BOW is finished! Grandpa´s chickens has 40 pieces and it´s paper pieced.

I-9

This block (Chase A Myth) is paper pieced in three sections. I redrew the pattern because I wanted 90 degree angles on the large triangles. The block has 41 pieces.

A-5

Okay, new attempt! (Cathie´s Campfire) 29 pieces. Pedantic as I am I think paper piecing will work fine for me. Lines, angles and corners become fine and precise.

C-1

Did my very first paper pieced block yesterday. Took an easy one and tought it would be a piece of cake, and yes, it was, but something went wrong......Can you find "the error" ? (Trooper Green´s Badge) 13 pieces.

M-1

Yes, this is fun! My third block, M-1 (Dogwood Days) was a little bit tricky and I did some changes (from the book) so that I would get the corners to fit the central block. Machine pieced, 29 pieces.

Have a nice day!

C-12

Look what I´ve had time to sew before breakfast! C-12 (Family Reunion) Machine pieced. 49 pieces. I´m really pleased with it :)

B-10

It´s done! My first Dear Jane block. I loved piecing it. My B-10 (Jud´s Trophy) has 27 pieces because I did the centerpiece in one instead of three. Now there is just 224 more to go... I´m not sure I´m going to use these  blocks for my "baby jane". I haven´t yet decided what color I want. If I can´t decide, I will go for the original colors. Time will tell.

Happy mother´s day

A small gift for my lovely mom. Hope she likes it...

Flags of the world

I´ve planned a trip around the world but it will definitely take longer than 80 days.... I will start with Scandinavia and the neighboring countries.

Norway

Iceland

Faroe Island

Denmark

Finland

Sweden

Happy Easter

What a dull gray weather, the rain just pouring down. The snow is melting faster of course in the rain so we may try to put up with this wet weather for some time. Really soon, we have wonderful spring here.
Vilket trist grått väder, regnet bara öser ner. Snön smälter förstås snabbare när det regnar så man får försöka stå ut med detta våta väder en tid till. Riktigt snart har vi härliga våren här.

With last year's Easter cake made by my sister Amanda, I wish you a very pleasant Easter.
Med förra årets påskkaka gjord av min syster Amanda önskar jag er en riktigt trevlig påsk.

The recipe can be found at Kinuskikissa. Here you will find the cake decorations. The recipe is unfortunately only in Finnish. Here you can try to translate it into the language you want.

Receptet hittar du hos Kinuskikissa. Här hittar du dekorationerna till kakan. Receptet finns tyvärr endast på finska. Här kan du försöka översätta det till det språk du vill.

Windmill puzzle

Väderkvarnar ur Miranda Innes LAPPTÄCKESBOKEN

Windmills from Miranda Innes Traditional Quilts around the world

Här är pusselbitarna som behövs till detta väderkvarnspussel...

Here are the puzzle pieces needed for this windmill puzzle....

Jag har använt bomulls- och linnetyger

I have used cotton and linen fabrics

Det är roligt att göra olika mönster, men svårt att besluta vilket man ska välja

It's fun to make different patterns, but difficult to decide which one to choose

Pusslar.....Puzzling....

...och pusslar.....and puzzling....

...och pusslar.....and puzzling....

...och pusslar.....and puzzling....

Såhär kommer det antagligen att se ut som färdigt. Jag har inte ännu bestämt om det ska bli en löpare, fyrkantig duk eller väggbonad

This is how it will probably look like finished. I have not yet decided whether it will be a runner,square table cloth or wall hanging
