A girl got to do what a girl got to do……. :-)

dresden 1Sometimes me and my body are not in the same game……..
I know that is to be expected with you come delivered as a heap of 2nd sorting parts.

A lot has been on the back burner lately, but luckily it is getting better now, at last!
I am happy you are dropping by to see what is going on in my sewing corner :-)

The Dresden flower quilt is back from the quilter, and it is beautifully quilted by Merete at www.sy.no 
Remember the flowers from last summer, when I had them on display on my walker?

I have not got the binding on yet, but I will shortly, and it will be the striped fabric you can see on the photo above.

If you notice the black leather couch is out of here, you are so right!
The new couch set is a lovely grey, from Ikea. I do need new cushions now, right?

I am longing for spring and to celebrate spring getting closer I have also made some flowers in soft yellow. I made these when visiting with May Britt lately - we had a great weekend :-)

Several fabrics were tried for the centre circle - the  Civil War repro double pink won!

Miss Cat just wanted to say hello as well.
I wish she was good at house keeping in the sewing corner too - I am a mess there when I do not sew so much ;-)
I think she likes the smell of the cardboard boxes where I keep my sewing thread.

Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold,
happiness dwells in the soul.

  2. I love the Dresden blocks - I've got one I'm doing some hand embroidery on but haven't decided yet whether I'll make enough for a quilt.

  5. Jeg forstår at du sliter med helsa, og kan bare ønske deg god bedring, hva det nå enn er som plager deg!
    Teppene som blir til i syhjørnet ditt, er bare helt fantastiske! DP-blokkene er kjempesøte.

  19. Your Dresden plate quilt is beautiful, Hanne. I love the colours and the quilting really is very beautiful.

    Miss Cat knows where to find the good places to sleep. Isn't it funny how they have their favourite places to sleep on, and often they don't seem very comfy to us.

  20. How does Miss Cat roll into that upside-down ball? Your Dresdens are lovely and how funny that you want summer to come and I look forward to winter!
