Don´t let the door stop you My draught protector



It´s my day today in this fun blog hop with door stoppers. As I don´t have so many doors to stop in my apartment I thought that something that could stop the draught from my balcony door, could be a good and fun  idea for me.

For several years ago I made a funny sort of case for the wheat pillow, you know that kind of pillow that you put in the micro wave and then have it around the neck.

That case but bigger could be a good draught stopper for the balcony door. I have enlarged the pattern to 150%, so it is a big dog. He measures 28 inch from head to back and he also has long legs and tails.
I have planned to take pictures outside in the snow, but it is so windy outside and cold and snowing , so my dog is resting on my sofa, so he won´t catch a cold.
Don´t you think he is a funny dog waiting to take care of the draught, when he is in his right place.
It was hard for me taking good pictures of him, when he was doing his tasks down on the floor.

He is so fun with his tongue hanging out.

I thought it could be fun to se him together with his little brother, which is five year older.
I think my new dog will not fit around my neck, he is way too  big and absolute too heavy.

Thank you lovely madame Samm on Sew We Quilt and our wonderful cheer leader Carla on Creatin in the Sticks to conducting this fun adventure .

You have now seen my funny dog and it is time for you to hop over to the creative ladies of the day

Hill Valley Quilter ( that´s me)

Have a great blog hopping day

En liten vårduk / A small table cloth waiting for spring

Tidigare i veckan hittade jag en beskrivning till en underbar liten duk med vindsnurror hos Samelia´s Mum. Jag blev så inspirerad att sy en egen version  av denna. Tygbitar har jag ju gott om och det passade också väldigt bra att Eva på Quiltmeva hade afterwork i fredagskväll då jag sydde färdigt det mesta av duken.

I have found earlier in the week a tutorial at Samelia´s Mum for sewing a small table topper. I was so inspired that I had to sew it as soon as possible. I was thinking of Spring and it was not difficult at all to choose fabric in my stash.


I also bought the first tulips for the season, they are for us in Sweden true messengers of Spring.

Jag köpte också mina första tulpaner, vårens budbärare.

Duken har jag frihandskviltat, helt och hållet utan att markera först. Det är så härligt att kvilta loss. Mitt favoritkviltmönster är Paisley, som jag har använt på det mönstrade tyget. Annars är det små skruvar, som har fått leva sitt eget liv.

The table cloth is FMQ, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. Only once the thread was broken.

Här är lite närbilder av min kviltning. 



I morgon startar det en ny blog hop hos Madame Samm på Sew We Quilt

Vi skall sy dörrstoppar eller dragstoppar och behändiga saker som underlättar vår hobby


Tomorrow it is time for a new blog hop at Sew We Quilt. Don´t miss it, there  will be a lot of fun projects to be inspired of.

Mina dagar är 30 januari då jag visar hur jag stoppar drag från balkongdörren och den 3 februari då jag visar några behändiga saker för mitt syrum. Välkommen att besöka min blog då och alla de andra damernas bloggar naturligtvis, då det kommer att finnas länkar till deras bloggar hos mig.
My days are 30th of January and 3rd of February.  As if sooner welcome back to visit me then.

Ha en trevlig dag. 

Have a great day.
