To sash or not to sash

that's the question ;-)

Showing a WIP for a change. Used this wonky-cross-block tutorial by Elizabeth Hartman:

http://sewmamasew.com/blog2/2010/04/wonky-cross-block-sew-along/

Started when I found the yellow print in a stack of Tula Pink fat quarters I bought some time ago, but never got around to using...the colors in it were too bright for my taste. Now I decided to use them separately and the yellow one "spoke" to me. Found some turquoise and yellow charms to match. The turquoise print is from De Haan & Wagemakers. Need to find another matching print... and need to decide whether or not to add sashing between blocks.

A little project...

for this last vacation-day...

some Kaffe Fassett and solid scraps, some batting and a flexi frame, et voilà!

Finished quilt... oh no... unfinished quilt...

 I discovered a Kaffe Fassett print I loved and found some sollid charms that matched perfectly... so a quilt was planned and finished the week before Christmas: 

I used a cotton-wool filling... and washed it... after that it looked like this:

oopsss... All the quilted lines had to come out, the filling is out and now I can start over.

 How to prevent this from happening again?!

workshop

I joined a workshop at a little shop called "Elle aime". Made buttons, a pocketmirror and...this little "envelop" for tissues. Love the fabric by mikodesign. She taught us how to make this....

Is this a good present for a 1-year old?

The ears could/should have been a bit bigger maybe...

Quick project

Since I bought a new smartphone I needed a nice cover for it...of course

and the back

I made it in less than 2 hours and used only scraps, including some Kaffe Fassett.

Finished baby playmat

for my niece... made with Ann Kelle's Urban Zoologie and some Kona Sollids.

I have to start taking better pictures, but I couldn't wait to give it to her! And it was raining cats and dogs...so this had to do...

My sister loved the owl-print and I combined it with some others to give it some variation.
