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..

In Mindi’s julswap I have received wonderful gifts from my Secret Santa .. It’s so fun to open a small package every day and my secret Santa really gotten it right what I like

The first package, I got a nice money box from Cult Design. For this money box, there were labels with lots of suggestions on what you can save to. I chose to put the text ”fun” and it means in Swedish – Roligheter.

The second package, I got a jar of dried funnel chanterelles. Of those I hope to make a good sauce. The third package, I got a cute little jar of orange marmalade flavored with whiskey

Today I received 4 cute little angelic light in brown and gold .. me likes alot

From my friend Louise I got those cute fabrics. Now I must to figure out what I want to do with these lovely pieces of fabric..

Last week I had worked with my SSCS gift and a little ornament to my Secret Santa Christmas Swap friend.. Because it is a secret I can not show what I have done but this is a small hint to my swap friend

What more had I done?! O yes I had finish the Paganini top now I only need some batting and after that I will try to quilt it.. I’m so bad at to quilt that I dread every time it’s time for it I would love to join a course for learning more about it and also to take the big step .. But for now it looks like this

After I had done the quilting I´ll sew the cute little lace on and put some old pearl buttons I found

It was some update on what’s happening here in my studio. Now it’s time to start up to sew some gifts and a few baby quilts that are ordered..

See you soon!
