Let´s twist to batiks

First of all I like to say a big thank you to lovely Madame Samm, who as usual is conducting and as cheer leader lovely Mary.

It is my day remembering something from the sixties. For me that was the Flower Power era.
And that  era has inpired me to my project, but first some images of Flower Power.


Don´t you love this image, it is so groovy.

And then I remember the buses with bold flowers like this one

And here are two girls with flowering home made dresses, that´s me and my sister, I am the shorter one, with our student caps, a cap that you received when you graduated from senior  high school.



And all these flowers everywhere got me inspired to create a flower power girl of my own
like this

 And here are some details



Now when you have seen my version of the sixties hop over to the other ladies of the day
Have a great day blog hopping

Äntligen jag kan bläddra i den// At last it is finally here

I dag låg den på golvet i hallen. Boken som jag och Karin gjort med hjälp av Anita och Barbro i Stockholm och Rikstäckets fantastiska redaktör.
Jubileumskvilten för att fira att Rikstäcket fyller 25 år som förening
Det är en härlig känsla att bläddra i den. Nu känns det också, som det var värt alla timmars arbete för oss som under drygt ett halvt år arbetat med den.
Och jag hoppas att många de trogna medlemmarna i Rikstäcket kommer att glädjas åt den och utnyttja alla de möjligheter som finns till att använda de olika blocken.

Oh it is finally here!!! The book that we, Karin and I with help from Barbro and Anita has made with 25 different blocks as a gift  to our members in the Swedish quilt guild Rikstäcket. 
This work couldn´t be done without our fantastic editor Lena. 
It is a wonderful feeling  to look at each page, even if we have seen it over and over again as data files.
