Something old, something new something borrowed something blue


Some more fabrics I bought on the fair... I love making Kaffe fassett quilts and this is one I want to make one day... no hurry with that I like to find nice fabrics for it.... the fabric on the right will be the bases and the rest will follow...... but first a few other quilts who have to be finished.... this is more like a summer project... when summer will come...





I was waiting for better weather to make a nice photo shoot of my Christel seyfahrt Shawl... but that still has to wait, so for now I made some pictures in the home.




 I am really happy with the borders ... was a little scared so many stitches and you just have to wait how it turns out to be... well I think fine !!!!!







And another finish... It was almost finished and then I didn't like it all anymore but now it is so nice to wrap it around to at night or when you are not feeling right it is very soft and you can make a easy knot in it or wrap it around you totally, this is a drops pattern,


 And some new potholders for my kitchen, one pattern is from drops ... yes.... again, really lovely and easy to make.



The other pattern I saw on lucy's blog  quilting with the past, I really loved them and soon I remembered my mother used to make these potholders too and then I made them too... I really like to make them also fun easy and quick sometimes you need a quick project...
Well lovely quilting, knitting and handmade week to you all.....

We looked at every stand for old pink a color I really love and which makes the quilt very happy... we found a few at yookies at quilt it dotty and at the sampler yes yes yes.... I can begin... or no thats right I first have to finish one..... but I have finished my shawl... will show the pictures an other time...


This little book I took with me to the fair I find it very easy to adjust fabrics to this and look for the fabrics I really need, so I also found some nice braun with pink fabrics.... 


The fluffy chicken who came out for eastern.... I still can't put them back... I just hope spring will start ... today was a lovely sunny day...... still cold but really sunny....
