Finished... all quilted and bound....

July Schnibble 
Joy Luck....

Made in fabrics from Urban Chiks.... Dream On....

After I had sewn the top together... I had lots and lots of little snippets left...
and I couldn´t throw them away.. so I used them in the border...
making tiny little flowers.... :o)


New goals for this month..
Have 3 Schnibbles to make...
The first one that I missed out completely on...
Too short on time ...even if Sinta tried to help me out... 
long road to Sweden from USA...:o))

December Schnibble... 
The pincushions...

And August Schnibble....
still havent decided on which one to make yet...
have to sleep on it a little bit longer!!! :o)

 Or just relax and read and let time tell...

Got this wonderful book in my hand..
and I am so in love with it.. 
Lynda  have really done her best this time.. (Well... she always do..:o)
but the book itself is so pretty ... gorgeous photos... and LOVE the projects!!!!!
Got some more things....
but wont show... it might be gifts ...:o)
Otherwise I am recovering from a cold I got at mom and dad´s...
long time since I had so much trouble with my asthma...
sometimes I almost forget I have it.. but not now... 

No sewing here at all..
having big big time no mojo at all...
Too much sewing ... perhaps...lol.... 
NAH!!!
Give me some more time and I will be back... 
full speed..
S**S*S**SS*

Meanwhile..
it´s still Summer... and I enjoy days with Viktor...
two weeks left of my vacation....

Daughter just moved in.. and out again... 
She and her boyfriend.. found another apartment...
and tonight they will sleep there for the first time...
I am sooo happy for them... 
their happiness is so wonderful to see
and love for each other... 
 Sweet!!!

Tomorrow brother is coming.. or on Wednesday...
have to think on something nice to feed them with... ;o) 
Any ideas ... someone!!!! :o)

See you!

Yummy for me....

...ahhh...
...Summers bliss...
Strawberries from the North of Sweden..
so much sweeter than other ones...
Grown under midnight sun...
they receive a special taste...
Nothing better!!!

This is what DH came home with last night...
Delicious Strawberries!!!!
... and the same day... some more "yummy" things came ...
fiesta for the eyes and mind!!!

Kim Diehls new book Simple Comfort...
and Folk Art Favourites from Joined at the Hip...
and a pattern....
Sweet Dreams...
Have waited so long for these ones to come...
but now they are here...
... have to read them a little bit more.. and decide what to make.. and WHEN!!!
The Sweet Dreams quilt I have seen on Sintas blog..and fell in love with it.. so
I ordered the fabrics in last blog entry to use for it...
Want some more home alone evenings... !!!!

A little sewing have been done...
needed to test sew my small 1 1/4" squares to something...
...and I chose nine patches..
Love them.. .
Think I will use this design... simple and easy...
don´t know if I will make it bigger.. or just make a little doll quilt!!!

See you...
