Resting... Chiros order.. 
dont lift anything..dont work with arms above chest..

So it wasn´t even fun to stitch.. so what have I done then..
Reading.. or Studying...I should say...
This Monday I started to study again..

So bare with me...
Firstly I am thinking of my three girls
that eagerly are waiting for their 
PIF gifts... they will come.. but like things are right now...
I hope you understand..:o)

Sunday fun.... means sewing...:o)

and home alone...
is even better... 
and I had so much fun making theses little ones...

The Tuffets.... 
The strips is just 3/4 " and wohhooo I like it..:o))

Guess I am a little bit crazy... almost the smaller the better...
but for the nine patches.. I really really had to hold my tongue right... 
finished blocks are 1"..;o)


I had thought of making just one...;o))
But had so many strips left from the charmpack...
Rural jardin.. so I had to use up them all.. well almost.. 
still a few left though..hmm... can I make another.....lol..

So a little eye candy for you all..

Cute.. yepp they are..:o)
Smallest one is 3" big..or little..:o)
And largest 5"

Have made all 12 projects.. 
and they are all finished too.. 
Quilted and bound...

Too Short Summer...

last weeks have been filled with cold winds... rain.. and cold temps ...
...gosh.. think Autumn came...

way way too early... we use to have wonderful August days.. especially around when School starts over for the kids...
But Brr... having morning temps around 5 C ( 41 F)
we actually make a fire every morning and evening...  and it is early... 

So I made some Autumn Flowers....

and added them to my Short Story...


... and got myself an Autumn quilt...named
Too Short Summer....

One thing though..
I cant decide on which way to hang it...lol...

First I thought of just adding the flowers to the side...
for fun..:o)
so the blocks are arranged thinking that way...

But when finished.. it looked as good having them at the bottom...
so I took away the hanging sleeve at the back...
 so I could do whatever...

What do you think???


Flowers at the side...
Flowers at the bottom....

Well I think one have to little to worry about...
when things like this get ones all attention..:o))
*SMILE*
