U R Priceless
The new bloghop has begun and this time the first day of the hop is my day to present my cute coin purses. But first of all a big Swedish hug to Madame Samm and Katherine for hosting this priceless blog hop.
I must say that I have had some problems to get the purse frames in time to make my purses. I have first contacted a shop on Etsy from Portugal in September where I found some very cute frames. But the frames were not even shipped after a month and I didn´t get any contact with the shop owner in spite of several reminders. Then I had to buy from an other internet shop, as I couldn´t find any shop here in Sweden which had purse frames.
Finally I ordered frames from ebay, China and Etsy Great Britain, but in a slight different form that could fit the pattern designed by Madame Samm.
Two days ago the shop owner from Portugal contacted me and informed me that she had been on vacations and was very sorry. She returned my money and that´s the story with the first problems with my purses.
My big problem then was the decision of fabric. I can´t understand why this is always a very big problems as I have yards of fabric in my stash. But I think this is a problem that I share with thousands of quilters.
And then I had to reconstruct the pattern to fit my purse frames. I love freeze paper, I use it when I make templates and it is then so easy to iron it on the fabric. I reconstructed the templates on the freeze paper and voila there were my templates to fit my purse frames.
My first coin purse were made from fabric designed Loralie, I love her cute ladies

Greta har fått en kompis/ Greta´s new friend
Kommer ni ihåg Greta? Do you remember Greta?
Gretas kompis heter Britta och hon är bara så söt i sin lilla kolt med elefanter och randiga strumpor.

Nu väntar hon på sin nya klänning. Jag fick också sytt färdigt en liten japansk påse efter ett mönster som Namie hos Quiltameva har gjort.
Britta is the name of Greta´s new friend. Don´t you think she is the cutest thing with her frock with elephants? She is waiting for a new dress. The small purse is from Namie from the local quilt shop here in Malmö.

Svävande remsor / Floating strips
I går blev jag klar med duken, som blev resultatet av den nya teknik, som min väninna Karin visade mig i söndags. Tekniken hade hon lärt sig på kurs på Rikstäckets årsmöte för Yvonne Kervinen .
Det var så kul och är en klart vanebildande teknik, att jag har planer att sy mer senare. Remsorna, sydda av Kaffe Fassets rester ser ut att sväva i det svarta. Nästa projekt kommer att bli en löpare med vit bakgrund. Jag har kviltat med en rayontråd som skiftar från grått till svart och med vanlig raksöm, några millimeter utanför sömmarna. En liten härlig duk att pryda vilket bord som helst.
I have yesterday finished a small tablecloth, the result from testing a new technic, which my friend Karin has taught me last Sunday. She has learned the technic from a class taught by a Swedish quilter Yvonne Kervinen. It is sew addictive and there will surely be more from me with this technic.
The strips are from Kaffe Fassets and they seems to float among the black background fabric.
I have chosen to quilt just a bit outside the seams with a rayon variated thread from grey to black.
The tablecloth is so beautiful and will embellish any table.

Testar ny teknik / Testing
Nu har jag sytt två börsar till nästa blog hop hos Sew We Quilt, ursöta, men visas först på måndag.
Så ni får fortsätta vara nyfikna några dagar till.
Jag har samtidigt hållit på att testa att fälla in smala böjda remsor i svart bottentyg. Detta är en teknik, som min goda vän Karin lärt på kurs hos Yvonne Kervinen, när Rikstäcket hade årsmöte i Falun för en knapp månad sedan. Jättekul teknik och klart vanebildande.
Jag har sytt början till två block, tanken är att sy fyra block och sedan sätta ihop till en liten duk.
Här är ett litet smakprov
My purses for U R Priceless are done. They are supercute but you must wait until 5th of November to see them. You have to be curios some more days!!!
I have also tested a new technic inserting small curved strips into solid fabric. My friend Karin has taught me from a class she has been too four weeks ago in Falun. The technic was introduced in the class by a teacher Yvonne Kervinen.
I have sewn two blocks the beginning of a small table cloth with four blocks.
This technic is very addictive and I think I will then test to insert solid fabrics into some Kaffe Fasset´s fabric. It is sew fun!!!

Gretas klänning/ Greta´s dress
Jag tyckte hon blev riktigt fin i sin klänning.
I have now made a dress and a cape to Greta. The dress and the cape are reversible.
Isn´t she cute in her clothes?

Dockan Greta / Greta the doll
Får jag presentera Greta som jag sydde i går och idag. Mönstret har jag köpt på internet hos
RetroMama. Dockan var kul att sy, lite pillig, fick fixa lite, eftersom min maskin nafsade bort en hörna, när jag sydde. Nu skall jag sy kläder till henne, fast hon egentligen redan har kläder på. Dockan skall jag behålla själv, men om man syr till små barn, får man sy filtknappar i stället de bling bling knappar som jag sytt. Jag tror att hon skall få en kompis Britta lite senare. Tygerna som jag använt är Kaffe tyger naturligtvis.
May I introduce you to Greta, a doll I have finished today from starting yesterday. The pattern is from
RetroMama. Greta was fun to sew, even if I had some problems with my sewing machine, that ate a corner of the doll. I had to solve the problem with adding a heart in felt in the corner of her dress.
I have embellished the doll with some buttons of glass as this will be only mine and not a gift to a child.
I will now sew a dress for her and a cape, because it is fun and later I will sew her a friend, Britta.
Don´t you think she is a cutie. The fabric is from my favorite Kaffe Fasset.
