A colleague of mine is expecting his 4th child. I want to create something for the little one (a girl), that lasts and is beautiful. So I went to my stash and found the cheery combination: yellow, pink, orange, red. Need to fix something in the back and do the binding.

Indian Baby quilt

Lively season with another colleague expecting. She is from India, so I wanted very bright colors. Will be a little boy. I had a print with a peacock (Indian National animal) on it, so I decided this to be my inspiration fabric. Wanted to try pickle dish for some time and thought medallion will work. Also will piece the corners for setting this on point, but it is still growing. Finished the center last weekend and still trying to find a good solution on the setting triangles.

Boo to you

Just a quick raw appliqué flag I did 2 years ago for Halloween. Fuzzy cut letters, add some ghosts, et voila....

Starry Blues

I started this Quilt in 2009 with hand sewn sawtooth stars. I wanted to have a quilt in Blues, Aquas, Purples, and no star should be a repeat. It was my beginning project and helped a great deal in very dark times in the years. The top is now finished (October 2015) as I have been attaching the piano key border with the batiks. I have also prepped the batting and the backing, but as the size is something 2,50 -2,70 m this will be a no go for my home machine. Still I want to finish this all over, so I am thinking of hand quilting the piece. It will wait for me and I know that I will finish this one and never part with it.

Cherries to come

My first EPP-hexies, had quite some inner resistance to overcome how I would apply the hexies panel. So this is the first mitered corner in the background fabric. To be used as a small table topper, far away from likelihood of staining coffee or other liquids.:o) No batting, no quilting, just appliquéd to the background (mitered rectangle).

Uppsala Lonestar

Made this Lone star quilt top in 2014. The top is still not finished.It is an eclectic mix, the fabric with the measure tape is a sweet memory of a business trip to Uppsala where I was so happy to find a lovely fabric store, background is from a large Swedish Furniture house with 4 letters (guess what?) and the other bits are dapper fabric purchased the dutch fabric market, the Riley Blake in the centre was a find in Michelstadt. It was my first attempt at inset seams and loads of pieces on bias even though I used the lone star strip method I saw on the internet. The center seams are currently open and are awaiting a re-sew with more accuracy so that the bulk is and the slight hill is avoided....

Summer basket weave star

Wanted a go at paper piecing, and this was a free pattern on Craftsy. I still go to my stash and scraps for this and I even finished this in 2015....

Sakura by the sea

D9P Tutorial in 2012 applied, love the asian prints in the cool color way, started with a variegated cotton thread for hand quilting which is not as I wanted it to be, but finished this in the mood - finished is better than perfect.

Duckling a'orange

Baby sized Quilt as a wedding gift to the eldest son of a friend. I had some Panel and coordinating sample fabric pieced, combined with little darling fabric and muslin. I opted for a vey thin cotton batting, as I wanted to have this very easily washable. I hope it will be kept and used lovingly in the young family (done in 2014)

Baby Quilt done for a dear friend who had a baby in the fall season Oct. 2015, the seersucker like white and green gave me troubles, I really liked the creative baby bears on the dapper fabric which went so well with some dots in orange and red.
