It has arrived!

A very special, very soft and cozy, wonderful bag has arrived in my mailbox! I really love it! But you have to wait until tomorrow for some pictures and more information.

At first I will show you the pictures I forgot in the last post.

This is my angel fabric, I think it will become a dress for an angel softie....

And here are som Japanese fabrics. I fell in love with the small dots.

Now I´ve collected all those, and together with this book,

for my inspiration, I will have a really nice time....

All pieces are sewed together, now it´s about the border. A colourful one or will I choose a more natural-coloured flower pattern. My biggest problem is; Where can I buy more of these fabrics? "Isn´t it romantic?" by Northcott.

This afternoon I couldn´t resist start making cups for my black and white quilt.

At first a sketch...

Then it became templates...

The cups were cut out in fabric....

Placed on the "chess board".... and the handle will be on the left. I´m left-handed and it´s my quilt. (My husband has another opinion, if you ask him!)
.... and finally stitched in place. Two done, fourteen more to go.... and then I will put on a red border! It will end up as a wall hanger on my red studio wall.
Many pictures today, and more will come tomorrow. See you then!

My wallet is empty.....

This weekend I´ve been on a quiltshow called Quiltköping.
A lot of wonderful quilts, wonderful people and a lot of shopping. What more can I ask for?
My camera wasn´t my friend that day, sorry, no pictures.
Today it was in a better mood and I can show you some of my findings and a bit of my work from today.

Here you can see secret fabrics, can´t tell more at the moment....
....and fabrics for another secret project.

These are mine, couldn´t resist....

Where is my angel fabric? I forgot that picture....and the Japanese...where are they? Let me try again tomorrow, my memory is not the best :(

This one persisted to follow me home and I said OK! Think we can have some fun together...

And I needed something to read, a copy of the only Swedish quilt magazine, Fat Quater.
Thank you Annika, nice to meet you!

Red fabrics, the same colour as some of the walls in my studio. I will cut out coffee cups from these and place them on this black & white quilt:

I cut these out today and pinned them on my design wall.

At last the last sneak peak of my bag swap bag. I finished it today, tomorrow it will leave Sweden for its trip to.......
Now I will do some stitching on the red-black-white secret project. I cut out pieces earlier today and altough it´s a little bit late I can´t resist... Just a couple of stitches, I promise.....
See you,
Helena
