OK - I know...

- I am NOT really very stabil doing this blogging thing. It's like sometimes I have the time and energy and loads of things to write about and sometimes I don't. I guess I'd rather write about something that I'm really excited about or nothing at all.

So here I am - back on the keyboard because there is infact something I am really excited about. 

PATCHWORK...

For a while an idea of making the girls each a patchwork blanket for their bed has materialized in my head - so today I have spent a fortune on fabric for two similar, yet different blankets.

For Freya in blue, red and pink tones

For Matilde in blue and orange tones

Most of the fabrics are from "Tilda Fabric" and they are all bought in Panduro Hobby.

To be honest, most pachtwork I don't really get or like - although I admire all the time and effort people put into these projects.

But nevertheless I am going to try it myself - and please don't think I am going to make some crazy patterns with all kinds of shapes and sizes... Believe me I'm not!

I am going to make the blanket in squares, probably 5x5 inches, finishing of with a border and backing it with one fabric. Most of the work will be done on my sewing machine, although I will have to do the quilting by hand i the end.

I am very excited about getting started on this project, so step one will be to cut all the squares before lining them all up making the pattern I want.

More to follow...

With this I wish you all a fantastic day.
