Tiny crochet mousies

This pattern is really addictive, you start with one and at the end you have ten tiny mousies.

You can find the pattern here.

Yoko Saito applique quilt finished

No words , only pictures.

More Japanese fabric......

I think you already noticed that I love japanese fabric . I made another logcabin quilt with the scraps I bought in Paris at Kaetsu. Each time when i visit Paris, I visit the boutique and there always are small scraps. The indigo blue is fabric that I bought on Etsy.
I only need to do the binding.

Japanese fabric that I bought in Nantes

When I was at the craft fair in Nantes this year I bought lots of Japanese fabric. I wanted to make a Yoko Saito pattern but could not find the fabric with the trees, searched on the www, phoned to quilt shops but nothing.
And YES i found it in Nantes. I started immediately with the applique work.
There are nine panels with houses and some trees. It suppose to be the peaceful countryside, Yoko used a lot of whites. I changed it it reds and greens. I am already busy quilting the panels.......
On the individual panels you can see the fabric i was looking for.

I also bought some indigo fabric with stamped design, so beautiful. I made a bag for myself....

Some girly bags

I am feeling a bit better, thanks for all your good wishes.
I went through my fabric this week, especially the thicker medium weight fabric. I have lots of small pieces , not enough to make cushion covers , but just enough for a small girly bag.
I used the Menina, free pattern on Eloleo's blog and of course I changed some things.... to make it more easy and quick. The bag is rather small, 22cm high and large and 8 cm deep at bottom.

 I found this shoulder strap long ago at a fleamarket......, it goes perfect with this girly bag!

Recycling old jeans and another present

I saw the idea on Pinterest.

A received another present , when she heard that i have some health problems, she sent me this lovely pincushion. Thank you so much my friend.
