Hi, I´m here now!

Ýou have to choose the sashing fabric before you can make the next dog, it´s a special one. This block will be available in the middle of February.

Vacation time!

In less than two hours it´s time to leave for Gothenburg and Landvetter airport. The final destination is Coraya Bay in Egypt. It will be wonderful and very exciting.....

If you want to order patterns from my webshop I will send them to you on the 12th of December when I´m back again.

I have hoped that the instructions for the Crazy Cats quilt should be finished before leaving, but I didn´t have enough time. My own quilt isn´t finished either, there has been too much for me this week.

If you want to start assembling your cats, I can tell you that the squares around the blocks are 2" x "2.
That means that you have to cut the patches 2½" x 2½". I have 35 blue squares, 32 green, 34 pink and 43 offwite in my quilt.

No posts without pictures, here are some from a nearly finished project.....

Just the hanging left, I have special plans for that....

Have a nice week! (I will.....)

The top

 

The 12 Crazy Cats has finally come together.

Have to find out how to quilt..... The binding will be dark brown.

At least.....

Something went wrong with the pictures I tried to publish in the gallery on my website. I´m working to solve the problem and hope I can fix it soon. I hate when those red X appears instead of the picture, sooo frustrating!

Triplets!

Three new cats are finished at Syverkstan today.

I´ve already started to assemble the quilt.....

....here are my patches.

I changed my mind

This is what happened today when I came to see the quilt. The children told me that they wanted more colours around them instead of that boring border that I had chosen.
I followed their advice and ripped the old one of and cut new patches. I think they were right, I will be more satisfied with it now. Maybe the have made the border for me when I´m back tomorrow.....

Crazy Cat #12 has got his blanket stitches too.

Only three faces left to stitch.....

A top day!

The top is finished. Tomorrow I will start to quilt. All machine quilting will be done before Friday. Then it will follow me to Stockholm. I think the hand quilting of the stones on the ground will be perfect for a lot of hours in the car.....

The next question is which colour I will choose for the binding.

My first idea was dark blue, like one of the dresses.

Or is it better to choose one of the bright colours instead?

Or the dark blue.....have to think about it.....

There has also been some cat sewing, two of the kitties has get their blanket stitches.

Soon they are finished, only some stitchery left.....

Puzzle time

Today I started with three piles of tiles, paws and a lot of other parts....

....some of them blue and beige....

....some pink and brown....

(Don´t ask me why this picture has turned over, the original is not that way, it must be Blogger that is trying to make me crazy...)

....and some green and brown.

After some time using my iron three new kittens were born. But they are a little bit shy... 

The first one hides here....

....the second....

....and the third.

Or more correct, Crazy Cat 10, 11 and 12.

Soon they are all finished. Next weekend when I´m visiting Stockholm and Syfestivalen ("the Sewing Festival") I will purchase the last fat quarters that I need to finished the quilt. Then I don´t think I can stop myself......

A cat catch up

This afternoon has been all about cats. The last three Crazy Cats are drawn, scanned and transfered to fusible web. Some stitchery on number 12 is also done.Tomorrow there will be no rest for my iron and the sewing machine has to work hard making blanket stitches......meow is all I can say about it.

A sneak peek - a lot of whiskers but no tails....

 

Just another cat....

.....Crazy Cat 9. A hungry one with his belly full of fish.

Flower power!

Crazy Cat 8 is a flower girl! 

Crazy Cat 7

Finally he is here, Crazy Cat 7. He is a little bit belated because he has been on vacation and had done a lot of other things.

Now everything is back to normal again after what has been a very special summer in many ways....
But it is still summer here by me....even if I´m a little bit confused about it, because today I´m stitching on a Christmas project.....

The days flow away!

Not much has been done the last days, tired, tired, tired......
Today I´m back at Syverkstan again and it feels good. A week together with my sewing machines and then is a trip to Stockholm waiting for me.


This is what´s up for today:

What can I made of this?

Because there was not even one stitch made by me this weekend there´s nothing new to show.
So here come pictures of blocks I made this spring.

In the end there will be 68 more of them, I´m about half the way already. When finished, the quilt will be on the bed in my workroom/guestroom at home.

Time to search for my fantasy, start up the needle and stitch.....

I´m proud of myself today!

I have tought about some kind of make over for my blog for a long time now and today was the day.
I decided to make it look like my website. Then I managed to figure out how to fix the header and the background to fit into Blogger´s templates. It wasn´t easy but maybe I´m smart or just had a lucky day....
Then I fixed the labels and gadgets and now I´m satisfied with how my blog looks.

This is what he looks like. A brown and green little man with a big heart....maybe he´s in love?

Now I will go on cleaning up the mess in my mailbox and my laptop and...lots to do. It´s so satisfying having the strength to do this.

 I think today is a good day, wish you all feel it that way!

Pieces of a cat

It´s time to put them together and make a new cat. 

I´m sorry that the picture is a little bit pale, but in real life is is light green.

Crazy Cat 5

Crazy Cat 5 is here, a little girl with curly whiskers.
