QAL med Happy Quilting och Melissa /QAL with Happy Quiling

Nu har jag städat klart i mitt syrum, nästan får jag säga, eftersom jag måste gå igenom min bokhylla också. Det har blivit en del tyger, som jag skall försöka sälja till vrakpris, på en kviltgrupp på Facebook.
Min smak har förändrats, inget fel på tygerna, men jag kände att jag inte vill sy av dem.

Nu belönar jag mig med att starta ett nytt projekt av tyger som jag "hittat fram" igen i mitt tygförråd.
Jag har anmält mig till Happy Quiltings QAL, som ni hittar HÄR, och visst är det ett charmigt block.
Det blir den versionen med nio block 16 inch stora, som passar mig bäst. Till den versionen behöver man nio FQs och bakgrundstyg, eller så kan man sy den helt scrappy av alla möjliga tygrester.

My sewing room is finally done, I have checked every piece of fabric that I have in my stash. There are some fabric that I will put on sale to a very low price, as my taste of fabric has changed a lot during my quilting live.
My reward for tidying up my sewing room is to start a new and fresh project. I am following Melissa on her blog Happy Quilting, she has started a new QAL and you will find it HERE
I have chosen to make nine blocks , 16 inch scqares.

Mitt tygval, allt från min tygförråd är gamla  tyger från Pat Sloan,som jag fortfarande tycker är supercharmiga.
My choice of fabric every pieces from my stash  is an  old fabric design  from Pat Sloan, fabric that I  still love.

Ett nytt armband / A new bracelet

Sommarkurs är härligt, fast i går var det väldigt varmt, så tankeförmågan var inte så lysande direkt.
Jag var på kurs hos Quiltameva i Malmö, där Tamara Schultz var kursledare. Vi var några kvinnor som fick lära sig att sy armband av rester. Vi fick också lära oss några art quilt tekniker, som att stämpla på tyg, använda kristaller. Det var ett kul sätt att ta vara på rester, som vi alla har mycket av.

Summer classes are fun , even if it during the last days has been very warm and hot here in the south of Sweden. Tamara Schultz taught us to use scraps as materials in  decoratives bracelets. We sew strings of the scraps, some of them decorated with crystals, angorina and stamps. A fun and good way to use the small awesome scraps, that are so beautiful and awesome.

It was fun, even if I made some mistakes, it was to hot for me. 

Mitt armband / My bracelet

En blå /turkos duk / A blue table cloth

Det är någon månad sedan jag sydde denna duk efter en kurs som jag gått på Färg och Form i Malmö.
Duken är inte den första utan nummer två, eftersom det var så kul att sy den. Min brorsdotter Ellen tog studenten och önskade sig en duk i blått och turkos, några färger som ligger utanför min bekvämlighetszon. Jag valde att sy den helt och hållet i batiktyger

For more than one month ago my niece graduated from senior  high school and I gave her this tablecloth as present. Her favorite colors are blue and turqouise and not mine, so this was a bit of challenge. This cloth is the second one, that I have made from a class, inspired by a book Sliver quilts and it was so fun to make.

Stamps from Sweden and a give away

Here is my greeting from Sweden. Nowadays there could be many different images on the stamps.
In my child hood  the Swedish stamps only had pictures of our king Gustav VI Adolf.

This image shows a stamp from 1973 the same year as he died 91 years old and at this time we also had the currency SEK Swedish Crowns on the stamps.

This is our king Carl XVI Gustaf on a stamp from  2010 his age is then 64.

As you could see there is no currency on the stamp, brev means mail and Sverige means Sweden.

Since several ages ago we have different images on our stamps not only royalties. And I love beautiful and fun stamps.

Here are some stamps  that I think are  fun to show you before I will come to my own designed stamp

Old cars from my childhood

A Swedish cinnamon roll

In Sweden we have a special day in October that we call The day of the cinnamon roll. This stamp is from 2010 and don´t you think it is so  fun.

And what is more Swedish than our Swedish flag?

I have of course chosen the most Swedish attributes.

The  Swedish flag and the handcrafted Dalecarlian horses that most tourists buy as memories from Sweden.
My stamp it is so Swedish, don´t you think so?   I have even stamped it with my day.

My Swedish stamp

It is even stamped

Oh, the give away. I have quite forgotten it. LOL

I found a lovely table runner in a shop yesterday with Dalecarlian horses stamped it all over. It measures 42x14 inches and it  is a Swedish design  made of cotton. I will post it everywhere and you only have to leave me a comment to get a chance to have  it.

But as Google Reader is shutting down I will give you  a second chance if you follow me on Bloglovin or by email. Please leave me a second comment about that.The buttons for Bloglovin and email  are on the right side bar.

Thank you lovely Madame Samm for organizing this fun blog hop and most of all the wonderful cheer leader Thearica at Pig Tales and Quilts. 

I hope that you all will have a great day hopping around.

My Tammy

Oh so many lovely Tammy that I have seen during this blog hop. And yes Tammy is a cute, beautiful girl that even is hungry, as she can swallow so many things, that a crafty lady must have with near to her.

Thank you lovely Samm for organizing this blog hop and as all the hops that I have participated in, it is so fun.

The hardest part to make Tammy, is to choose the fabric, as the instructions that the lovely Madame Samm has sent to us is so excellent. This time I was a good girl that could  shop among my stash.
As I love birds, this funny fabric is a very good choice and could cheery up even during the grey days.

Here is my Tammy packed with the things that  I am working with for the moment.

I am waiting for my buddy. Hurry up and make him

My sweet small rabbit Maggie   is waiting for her brother to become alive. The material  for her brother is swallowed by Tammy. I have bought the pattern for Maggie and her brother here

and she is sewn by hand with button hole stitches. She is naked and is also waiting for her clothes, but to much for me to do, so she will wait a little more. I´m so sorry for that.

One side of Tammy

The other side of Tammy

 I am always looking for one of my measuring tapes, I have several. This is secured in Tammy.

Tammy´s kid sister

I thought that I had to make a small purse for my thimble, as like  the measuring tape I am always hunting for my thimble and now it will have a secure place to hide in.

Extra to Tammy

I thought I needed a needle case too, and then Tammy is the boss over some extra companions.

Here is the contents of Tammy, when I have taken out all the things she had swallowed this time.
And Maggie is still waiting for her rabbit brother.

 This was all for for me and my Tammy . But there will surely  be more Tammy in my place and maybe as presents for my friends  as she was so fun to make. You know for me Tammy is female.

Now hurry up to meet all the other ladies that like me love  Tammy.
