stitch scrap sew: The Great Cross Stitch Showcase

http://stitchscrapsew.blogspot.com/2010/11/great-cross-stitch-showcase.html

Friday, November 12, 2010. The Great Cross Stitch Showcase. WARNING: photo-heavy post ahead :). Inspired by a gorgeous cross-stitch display by Linen and Raspberry. The enthusiastic-and -always-encouraging - Chookyblue. Thought it would be a lovely idea for us to pull out our completed cross-stitch pieces, and have a little blog-hop. I couldn't agree more :). I will start by showing you some of my completed pieces. I completed this sampler in 1999, and it currently hangs in my front entry. Since I don't h...

samsy: Gift delivered

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2011/09/gift-delivered.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Fredag, september 23, 2011. A quick shot of the back of a small quilt I made for a dear old friend. . before ironing . very blurred, I pushed the button just as the seven year old holding it up decided she was tired of being of help;). Some favorite fabrics and colors in there. Almost done - there remained frenzied last minute sewing down of the single binding. There was no time for last show off pic;). All hand sewn - including binding. And the bind...

samsy: “King George”, its maker and Tracy Chevalier

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2010/03/king-george-its-maker-and-tracy.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Torsdag, mars 18, 2010. 8220;King George”, its maker and Tracy Chevalier. Thanks to Jette at Parttime Perfectionist. I found this beautiful, beautiful clip about Tracy Chevalier and her encounters with quilts at the V&A. It is also wonderful to hear more background information about the quilt. The maker incorporated herself in some of the appliqued blocks. “So funny,” Tracy Chevalier comments. I agree! Lagt inn av Una. 19 mars 2010 kl. 11.55. Small n...

samsy: oktober 2012

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Fredag, oktober 12, 2012. Humble treasures from the past. Two quilts made by the Bulmer family in Ontario, Canada. In Barbara Brackman's Encyclopedia Of Pieced Quilts, this is pattern no. 3031 - Linoleum or Violet's Dream. I prefer the latter name to the first. Some parts are very fragile. To me this is part of the quilts' history. Pattern no. 272, Endless Wheel, according to Barbara Brackmans Encyclopedia. This quilt makes me think of a flower meadow.

samsy: This summer

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2011/08/this-summer.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Tirsdag, august 23, 2011. I learned from a dear friend how to make ginger, lemon and honey tea. We spent lovely times at beaches near and far. And gese were made. It has been a good summer - despite the mourning process we all have gone through after happenings in the Oslo area on July 22nd. We were not personally affected by the tragedy, but we were nonetheless nummed by the evil nature of the events. Which calls for some hand sewing preparations .

samsy: Sisters

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2011/05/sisters.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Fredag, mai 13, 2011. Two blocks - same pattern, inspired by the George coverlet at the V&A. When I drafted the pattern, I did not care too much for the center, so I made a twist of my own - a star. While I was at it, I made another with a different mood. Two sisters - same origin, but different. I have not yet made a smaller version of this pattern. Lagt inn av Una. Dine Sisters er vidunderlige smukke. 13 mai 2011 kl. 22.59. Una, these are fantastic!

samsy: Hand sewing again

http://craftjoys.blogspot.com/2010/01/hand-sewing-again.html

Dagboksnotater for å huske stemninger fra livet i dag. Tirsdag, januar 26, 2010. There has been some months of hand sewing hibernation. The joy of  it just woke up again. Thread, needle, leather thimble and a finger pin keeper – recipe for a good train ride. I am reproducing some blocks shown in Kaffe Fassett’s V&A Museum Quilts book. I am dreaming of going to London to see the museum’s quilt exhibition this spring/summer. Lagt inn av Una. 26 januar 2010 kl. 15.50. 26 januar 2010 kl. 22.52. Una, gorgeous...
