Ingamay has a blog really worth following.I can see she has been on Gotland and there she bought me lovely tea.She has knitted lovely blue and white potholders too.Maybe she knows I try to learn sewing clothes.Lovely buttons.And she wish me a safer walk using a reflex.And the candy....I couldn't resist eating it after the dinner.

And the cup from Rörstrand.Just so georgious.Fantastic.

This is a RR in Crazyquilt.I love embroidery and patchwork in a combination.

The first little quiltie

A quiltie is a little quilt,about 5"x5".You are free to choose way of doing a textile picture.I have done this first one combining patchwork,traditional embroidery and embroidery with beads.The fabrics are from different handdyed cotton,mostly a little bit ugly and not so perfect dyed at all.Try to find squares or stripes and use them and go on creating.

Autumn leaves,a new shawl and a square in cross-stitch

Dear all

Autumn colours in red and yellow are very common in the landscape.Very beautiful but also a remindness of the winter that comes in October/November.Therefore I made a shawl in 100% wool from Hedängen,a yarn a secret friend

I also show you a square I made for a swap,a square I really like .The colours are also inspired of the autumn.
