Nine days....

...and no blogging what so ever...
How could that have happened!!

First of all I want to thank everone that have made a comment and cheered me on and given me some hope to sew again... :)
Thankyou all.... :L
It means a lot!!!

Worktraining take all my energy and the sewing I´m doing there is the sewing Im doing... sort of... :)
Actually a little bit of time here and there...something gets sewn anyway...

I have started to quilt on the Stretched Stars that Kathie so helpfully gave me fabrics to...
and I added little stitcheries and will add buttons to the quilt later...
I just love this little quilt... :)
And what have happened to all the little snippets that were leftovers form the corners ...
Finally I can show you what it became...
a little pincushion or just a little pillow....

The half sq triangles was just 1 1/4" before they were sewn together...
this was so fun to challenge yourself to make up something from the little pieces...
thought it needed a little something so I added a little rose made of lace...

I really love the look of this one!...and there were still fabric pieces left ...so I pieced a backside too...
So thankyou Kathie for sending me the little kit!!!

Hope I can mobilize my strength and get started with sewing and blogging again... :)
Please take care of each other... promise!!!

    I LOVE this little quilt where you embroidered who gave you the fabrics, such a nice thought to do that to remember her gift to you. The pillow is darling. Hope you adjust to your work situation, no fun right now from the sound of it. Take care Stina.

    Stina, it's so good to see that you posted and I love what you did with the snippets. I try to use every piece of fabric, but that is what's wrong, I have it everywhere...

    oh my I am so touched.
    The quilt looks wonderful, would never thought of stitching words on it.
    Looks great and the pincushion is AWESOME and I am so thrilled to own it.
    She sits right here on my desk so I can enjoy her every day.
    I still can't believe you made this for me and it was made from leftovers from the little quilt fabrics.
    Thanks again Stina I will always treasure it.

    Welcome back, your stretched stars quilt looks great with the plaids and country colours and how crafty are you with a little cushion made from the tiny scraps, I used to make things from the offcuts when I started patchwork but haven't done any in quite awhile.

    I love little things and this little quilt is adorable.
    Such a sweet little pincushion too. I like the lace rose accent.

    Love your scrappy stars! I am working on a similar pattern from Bonnie at Quiltville. Look forward to get it done;-)
    Hope your hand and finger will get well soon, so you can do a lot of sewing again soon:-) Find a good book (with a lot of fun quilting stuff inside) and hav some quiet moments, and it will heal faster:-)
    Get well soon!
