At last, my pincushion finished as my friend Stina gave to me as a secret Christmas gift. The embroidery was quick to make but after that I have no idea where the time went to prepare it. But today we had about – 32 degrees below zero outside, so it was good to spend some time in the sewing room. It is actually a lots of ongoing projects that must be take care of before it´s time to start up new projects. But it’s so fun to do something new instead Bye the way if you went over to Stina you´ll find this wonderful stitchery and pattern to make this cute pincushion..

Thanks a lot Stina for this secret gift. It was fun to make

Take care!

Days before Christmas, I got a little red packets from my friend Louise. What a surprise it was:) We’ve already had our small change of Advent packages and now she has done such a wonderful little wall hanging .. Thank you so very much Louise. It was enough with your other fine gifts

In my 4th and last package in the Advent calendar, I got a sweet little angel to hang on the Christmas tree

Once again Thanks a lot for the lovely gifts!

Take care!

From my friends Louise and Stina I got some lovely gifts. In my advents swap with Louise I got wood letters that says in Sweden – Jul and in English it means Christmas.. Thanks you so much Louise..

Stina sent me the second step in hers little Christmas mystery. Lovely fabrics and a cute little ribbon with the text God Jul. So when I got a little time over I´ll sew the fabrics together and made the gift finish..

Thanks a lot my friends

just before Christmas I received an order for my work friend to make a baby quilt for her grandson. It had become a challenge for me just because she wished it would go in the blue, purple, green and turquoise colors. First of all, I am not a blue person. Some blue fabrics I could not find at home and here where I live, there is unfortunately no quilt shop. It was also too close to Christmas to have time to order fabric from USA. But after some searching I found some blue fabric and the rest were already in stock:) The result could you see on the photos and must say I was as happy as I can get to not liking blue colors

What else have I done this month! Well a few Christmas gifts that need some few hand stitching and then they are ready be sent to their new owner, Stina and Louise Better late than never .. One of these receivers is my friend Louise who is so quick with most things that she was ready to send her little Christmas present for me before Christmas I´ll show you what a wonderful little Christmas quilt she made and now it hangs in the living room in my house

Louise – Many thanks and a big hug for the wonderful Christmas present

I´ll update more from my Swedish calender later this week..

Take care!

Over at Nina it has just started a little mystery for Christmas which lasts for 5 days … as it sounds, it should not be something big but just enough, that´s sounds great .. So now I have been looking for fabrics, but unfortunately I have no fabrics in white / red, but it may solve by the end.. But this is the beginning ..

Now today, it’s time to embroider a bit so that is exactly what should be done for me today So more to show later this day…
