Flying Geese Quilt

Hello!

Back in March I bought these colourful fabrics with the plan to sew a Flying Geese-Quilt.
But it stuck because of other projects like the raised bedPua, the Niffler and others. Now I finally found the time to start.
First I sew these colour/white mixed quaters
After that I arranged the quaters to get a rainbow effect
The back of the quilt is again a duvet cover from Ikea. I mostly find there duvet covers, that matches the color and the pattern of my quilts, very well. And they're made from pure cotton.

The pattern was created with the free software of Pattern Jam.
Because the software is limited with 16 rows and columns, I split the pattern in 4 parts and put them togehter while sewing.


Kitty helped a lot and was really exhausted after that 😉

Eire Quilt

Hi there,

a good friend of mine was at Ireland at the beginning of July. To make him a surprise for his birthday and a nice memory of this vacation, I decided to make him a personalized quilt.


I bought different fabrics in irish national colors.


The back of the quilt is again Dvala from Ikea. This time I bought 2 different colours and 2 different types. One Duvet Cover in black and one fitted sheets in green.


.
The pattern was created with the free software of Pattern Jam.

Last I let some nice pictures of his vacation print on fabric to sew them on top of the quilt.
So I think this will make a nice, comfy, usable and washable present AND a memory of a wonderful vacation.


xoxo

Halloween Quilt

Happy Fall Y'all!

Finally autumn has arrived. So I thought it's time to do a quilt again. And because October is Halloween-Season at all, what could be better than a halloween quilt?


I bought these nice fabrics over at Dawanda* 

The back is a cotton duvet cover, I bought at IKEA*.

I designed the pattern with the super easy to use, free software from Pattern Jam.*


The result is a cozy Halloween quilt.


BTW
: Did you mentioned the 2 little pumpkins at the bottom of the halloween quilt? These were 2 of this year's harvest.

Thank you for stopping by

One million unfinished projects

Hi there,

do you missed me? Here I am again.

Since we've been back from my cousins wedding, it feels like we have 1 million unfinished projects. So I think this will be a post about our unfinished works.

While I'm crocheting many more dragons, I wanted to do something else in between, for not going mad. So I hope to show you another quilt, soon.

Next thing is that Hubby and I digged a hole into our green last weekend.


We hope that it will be a fire pit next weekend. I will tell you the whole story in one of my next posts, when the soreness has subsided.

Another construction site is our entrance. There were still a few open points on our to-do-list:
  • find and install new coat hooks
  • find/make new wall arts
  • find a new mailboxslit
  • install a lot of trimming
So you can imagine that there will never be boredom at our home.


See you next time

Red Rooster - Mellow Yello Quilt

Hi Folks,

I'm back again. As I told you wanted to show my new quilt. I'm really in love with it. It's cozy but light.
I bought these nice matching fat quaters from Patchwork-NMKB* over at Dawanda* and combined them with plain white cotton I had in stock.
The back is a simple cotton duvet cover, I bought at bonprix*.

I designed the pattern with the super easy to use, free software from Pattern Jam.*

The result is an absoultly awesome summer quilt.

Jeans Pinwheel Quilt

Hi Y'all,

sorry for being late this week but my computer did not work properly so it was not possible to set this article online. Now I've solved the problem and here we are. 

This is my last sewing project. It's a pin wheel quilt made from old jeans and various cotton fabrics I had on stock. If you take a closer look you can spy some fabrics from the Minnie quilt I made last summer. The borders and back are made from an ikea duvet cover.
Because the days are still very unstable and partially quite cold, I'm happy to have this soft and comfy quilt. BTW: The kittens like the quilt too.

So, please stay warm and comfy too until we meet next time.

How the Grinch stole Christmas Quilt

Hi Y'all

because I'm a bit under quilting fever since I have made the Minnie quilt and the Superhero quilt for my niece and my nephew. This time  I planned a quilt for my own use. I wanted to make a jelly roll quilt for a while and that was the chance. It was not that easy as I imagined but in the end I had a "How the Grinch stole christmas" quilt that.I.love! 

  
I wish you a warm and cozy christmas season and hope to see you soon.

Superhero quilt

Hi Y'all!

A few weeks ago I told you about the Minnie-Quilt I made as a present for my little niece. Of course I can not only make a quilt for my niece, but also must make one for my nephew/godson. And so did I. Here's my absolutely marvelous superhero quilt.
I was a bit afraid if both wouldn't like their blankets, but the opposite occurred. They both liked them and wanted to take them to bed at night. Yeah, great success!!

Hope to see you soon

Minnie Quilt

Hi there,

sorry for the long absence. This is just a quick jump in, to show you the finished Minnie Mouse quilt for my niece. I'm so in love with it, that I like to keep it for myself. 
Hubby and I have two weeks off and doing a bigger outdoor project. I'll hope to show you in the middle of next week. Here's a little sneak peek.
