sleepless nights and no mailing

I spent the last two nights there ...

... and the days catching up on sleep ... because of this:

So I'm sorry but there will be no mailing till May - sorry to the Bee-people waiting for the blocks from the last post ...

I don't think I already put the sneak-peek up for my April Round Robin part
(sorry Kirsten you need to wait too

I did get some sewing done - yay! go me! (?go I?)

First of we have this beautiful origami paper crane, ehhh fabric crane

If you want to make your own - here is the pattern and here the how to fit the parts together chart.

Followed by a hmmm it's supposed to be a flower with green leaves ... it's not always easy to "see" what blocks are supposed to be ...

catching up on October

I was a bit busy lately and I did a marathon sewing stint this morning - that I think one of my neighbours interpreted as me having a great party at 10 in the morning with the basses turned way up ... uhh yeah .. I might have to do a quitling session this afternoon and see if she starts complaining again then I know for sure it's me ... I guess I will have to go buy some earplugs for her. Well I did get a good deal of things done by disturbing her peace:

And I also spend some time in the beginning of October drawing patterns and generally haing fun planign quilts I knew there was no chance I woudl ge started this year, well except one of them. The first one is for a "flying geese" hmm bee/swap thingy well and of course I could just use a standard pattern, or any other pattern already out there nooo I had to go and make up my own:

I also had fun drawing up this pattern, and I'm planning on doing it with one of my tartan fabrics (though exactly when I'm goign to it is the unasnwerable question) ... I just need to decided whether I want to use a coordinated solid background or go for good old white ... I am leaning towards the blue, pink, purple, green tartan ...
