More Tessellation

I have not spend as much time as I would have liked in my sewing room lately. With travelling and then my MIL staying for three weeks there wasn't really time. I did a bit of hand sewing and worked on my tessellations though. Here are the next four blocks. They are not yet sewn onto the background, so I might still switch them around. 

These four will join those I made before. Here they are all together:

I hope your weekend is going well and you are enjoying yourself, whatever you might be doing.

A bit sad!

Today I'm feeling a bit despondent. The reason is that once again I'm loosing a good friend, meaning she is leaving Singapore to return home after being here for 14 years. We first met at a quilt group meeting many years ago and have become close.  I will miss her greatly as well as our weekly get-togethers when we quilted and crafted. Of course I couldn't let her leave without making her a little something.

It's part of a new pattern set for four cushion covers called "From the Heart" by Kellie from Don't look Now but I've made it into a little wall hanging instead.








                               

As most of Kellie's patterns it's done by raw edge applique and it came together quite fast.

On Friday  I had another tea box workshop and both ladies managed to finish a box each. Didn't they turn out lovely?

That's all for now. I hope to be back soon.

Crazy, or what?

Crazy yes, but nevertheless, I'm extremely pleased with the shopping I brought back from my recent trip.

Have a great weekend.

We have a new winner!

Since I wasn't able to contact the previous winner by email, nor did I hear anything after I've left a message on her blog, I've decided to draw a new winner.

I love charm packs

Congratulations Michell, the Charm Pack is coming your way!

Pincushion Swap Unveiling

I was the lucky recipient of Hilde's pincushion in the Swap I took part recently.  But's not all; she also included a box of Clover Patchwork Pins as well as a packet of paper hearts for paper piecing.

I love the "mushroom pincushion" with the little hidden compartment in the base. Perfect for small odds and ends (like the band-aid Hide put it in case of an emergency). She also put in a couple of cute buttons and a length of lovely ribbon. Thanks very much Hilde!

And this is the pincushion I made. It went all the way to Val in Brazil. 

I hand pieced it using the English Paper Piecing technique then hand quilted it.

Thanks Hilde and Hilde for organizing this swap. I hope it wasn't the last time ;). If you would like to see more lovely creations go here.

Happy Sewing!
Vreni

And the Charm Pack goes to:

Congratulations "Homemade from the Heart". I've sent you a separate email.

Thanks to everyone who left a comment. There were 350 all together, which left me speechless, literally (and that doesn't happen too often ;).

Cheers
