Saturday...

First a  big 
...THANKYOU ... 
to all out there trying to help me with the Mgazine...
You are amazing!!!
Happily everything have been solved.. think the magazine is on its way!!
Thanks to Jane!!! :o)

Otherwise ...
Have to face the facts that I have a really messed up head....
Cant´sew... cant decide on what to sew... 
and definitly not chose colours...!!
Ahhh!!!

So while I aint sewing  I shop!!! :o)
These I got just after Christmas...
Bought a cute bundle from Brenda Riddle at the Acorn Company!!

Georgia Lou
Havent touched it yet... 
yes touched and touched.. but not SPLIT!!  :o)

And I also bought these...
So Yummy!!!!
Brenda is the sweetest!! 
She even added some extra goodies in the mail...
some extra wool pieces... 
What  a lady!! 

 Yesterday I decided... 
I have to get out of my 
Sewing Blues...
Maybe there is some kind of step program for this...
(step one.. touch fabrics..  and so on..lol )

So I grabbed this pile!!!
Brew me some tea.. 
and even picked out some nice patterns...
went upstairs..
and NOPE... 
I just couldnt!!

BUT...
Had some lovely emails from Shirley...
and I think she have to be my mental coach...
Cause she got me into this!!!

Hexagons!!
A one step program for getting back to sewing..
She called it 
...One Stitch at A Time...
"The Healing Power of Stitching"

And I am so Happy that I actually have used needle and thread
Three Flowers are Sewn.. Yippie!!! 
Thanks Shirley!!

So this is what I have done today...
prepared more hexagons so I can sit and sew 
and watch tonights competition and vote for which song that will compete
 in The Eurovision Song contest in May, Dusseldorf, Germany!
So see you ..

Anne Pia Godske Rasmussens book...
and needed those album rings...and now I don't have any excuse not to make any...
since Gudrun happily shared some with me...:o)

Thanks a lot Gudrun
(please take a look at her blog..she makes wonderful things)

Ok ladies...maybe some guys out there too..

Remember my Exhibition this summer...
Some might... :o)
Sold some quilts and other things I made...
and I promised myself that the money from it would go back to myself!!!
So be it!!
Let the shopping begin!!!! 

I actually started this Autumn to shop
(and still have some money to spend...)
and I havent showed you ...
not the itty bitty tiniest piece of fabrics!!!!
So I´ll better do that!!

First out is this lovely range of fabrics..
Love it very much... 
maybe I have to order some more of some prints!!!
Have no specific plans...
But have started to wake up from my 
winter sleep... and...hopefully...get some itchy fingers soon!!!

Have more to show..but thought ..
maybe I could get back to blogging if I have something to blog about...
So I share another day...

March is here...
 and it is most welcomed... lighter days...more sun... warmer days...
Maybe some melting will start!!! 

And do you know what I did this weekend!!!!!
I de-cluttered my sewing room!!!!

Still lots to do.. more things will have to find new places...
but I can see my sewing machine..and hmmm..it is a good thing..:o)

Promised you a picture of a quilt I made for Louise....
Changed plans for my Christmas gift for her.. saves it for next year.. and decided to make her a little quilt instead... 
Louise made this quilt for both me and Marica at Christmas...
So I made her another version of it...blue..:o) 

Quilt for Louise
Since Christmas was long gone when I had it finished...
 I made a Spring version of it...

The pattern is from a free pattern shared on the blog of 
Cheri Saffiote Payne before Christmas...

I just love her patterns... 
think I will make some more of her quilts...
they always makes my heart sing a little!!
Maybe that is what I need...
