February...

One more month of winter have passed...
Thank Goodness for that!

Thankyou everyone that have left such wonderful comments
 for Kristinas family and me..

Kris sent me these words... 

There would be no rainbows without rain.
And joy would mean nothing if we´d never known pain

True!

Last weekend I had joined Virginia Cole for another Cyber retreat..
had a hard time getting myself to the machine.. but I did..and I managed to sew 
Five little Stars...
One for us all in our quilting group
(Kristina is still with us)

Dont know yet what I will do with them..
Have to think some more...

Had Chiropractic treatment this Monday...
so I have been puttering around the home doing this and that..
NOT SEWING...definitly not allowed!!!
But caught up on my schoolwork..
HOORAY to me..
Now I can start with a fresh month...
knitting this month..:o)

Last month we had Free Embroidery... 
and I did a Hardanger Bookmark
Pretty Pretty don't you think..:o)

Lots of Love from me

    Very cute blocks! Your friend will always have a place amongst you and in your heart. Maybe you can make more stars to cover yourself with a whole quilt ?
    I like your Hardanger :-) I have just given away my last 2 Hardanger books to a good friend.

    That bookmark is beautiful Stina! I've never done hardanger, but it looks like it's fun. And your little stars are gorgeous! It will be fun to see what you do with them!

    I love your bookmark! I was just looking at my Hardanger last night thinking it would be good for baseball nights this year. (assuming spring does ever come?)

    Underbara block du sytt och så härliga färger.
    Ditt hardangerarbete är ett mästerverk.
    Visst är det skönt att det är februari nu,solen värmer mer och mer för varje dag.
    Kram Gudrun

    I love your Hardanger Embroidery! It is so pretty. Someday I will learn how to stitch Hardanger. I do have a book I purchased so I'm one step closer.

    Your hardanger bookmark is very sweet - I used to do lots of hardanger and truly enjoyed it.

    The star blocks are wonderful, Stina. Kris will always be a part of your group - she's there in spirit.

    Så trist at dere har mistet en god venninne. De ekstra stjernene dere lager kan dere jo sette sammen til et lite teppe som familien hennes kan få. Et lite minne fra dere gode venninnene. Stor klem

    Yes, the words about joy and rain and all are very true and I could apply that saying to describe my quilting these days, lol. Five little stars look so sweet and hopeful. :-D

    I was lucky enough to take a class with Virginia a couple years ago. She makes some tiny blocks. I love your pink stars, very sweet.

    Skjønne stjerner du har sydd og flotte farger. Og det hardangersømsbokmerket var helt nydelig.

    Jag gillade verkligen ditt bokmärke!
    Nu ska jag också testa att sy hardanger. Att klippa bort allt tyg runt om inspirerade mig, tänk vilka fina "spetssaker" man kan göra.
    Har alltid tyckt att "tanternas" dukar har varit lite trista. Älskar nytänkande!

    Hey Stina! Love your little stars ... did I read that right ... they're only one and three quarters of an inch finished?!?! EEK! How do you hold on to them! :0) They are so "You" in the colours - Gorgeous as always. Hmmm ... what about adding a sixth little block with a stitched "K" ... For "Kviltstina" and for "Kristina" and make it into a key fob ... them Kristina is always with you. Hope your weekend includes some rainbows! :0) Bear Hugs!

    CHEERS!

    Sometimes I see the sun peeking through when the snow is falling . . . and it makes me wonder, can there be a snow-bow?
