Colours!

Yesterday I pieced my bag for the bag swap. Many bright colours together, makes me happy!
I have choosen the fabrics with inspiration from the Swedish summer flowers.



They are yellow, lilac, violet, pink, blue....and of course green.






The yellow round plots symbolises buttercups.




There´s some stichery on it too, fantasy flowers.


I also worked on my stichery quilt....


....and yes, I managed to put the blocks together with my own quilt-as-you-go method. But it needed a lot of hand stiching, which is okey with me.




I started to design a heart-block for the quilt too, a few more pieces will be added. But I´m satisfied with the quilted look of the heart, I sewed it in place through the batting.

Now I will go on working on my new blog design; new pictures, updated logo, links and much more. The new one will show up soon, together with other happenings, still secret. It´s time for an opening ceremoni at my new quilting studio, the new "Syverkstan". I just have a few things left to finish!

See you,

Helena
