joulutervehdys jo nyt

Hyvää joulun odotusta ja joulun aikaa kissamme Sokerin suloisuuden välityksellä!


Taustalla uusi Joulupalloilua-tilkkutyöni. Nojatuolille on joulukaudeksi taiteltu amerikkalaisen ystäväni Janellin taiteilema torkkupeitto. Kissa suvaitsee maata tässä silloin tällöin, vaikka pelkälle nojatuolille olisi niin paljon helpompi jättää näkyvä jälki (tukku vaaleita kissankarvoja).

A surprise quilting project (Quilt studio diary)

Since I was in my teens, I’ve been careful to stop every envious thought that enters my mind before they take up residence. Over the years, this has become an automatic reaction, with one exception. The one exception is my former quilting self. It is surprising how often I look at a pleasing item that I have made and secretly wish I could make something like that. Maybe confessing to this makes me seem deranged, but that is how my thoughts work sometimes. Sorry! This week’s surprise project started like that because I’ve been envying the Sliver/Lastu zipper bag lately. Long-time readers may remember seeing my original Sliver/Lastu zipper bag from year 2020. Some weeks ago, I came across it and set it to hang on a doorknob while I figured out what to do about the bag (to keep or gift or try to sell). I’ve been seeing the bag several times every day since then because that door is across the upstairs landing. And I’ve been so envious of my previous success! See if you...

Jipii! Yippee!

Sain vuoden kolmannen käsityön valmiiksi tänään, vuoden kolmantena päivänä. Jipii! Sen sai nimeksi tämä lituska vetoketjupussukka, joka on Hejsaniksi kutsumaani mallistoa. (Muistanette, että kaikki pitkällä kantolenksulla varustamani pussukat ovat Street-mallistoa ja nyt kehitin uuden, litteän Hejsan-malliston.) This year’s third finished item is ready today, on the third day of the year. Yippee! That’s what I’ve called this flat zippered pouch which is of the Hejsan line. (I’ve another line of pouches called Street, where the pouches all have a long strap. These flat pouches will all belong to the Hejsan line.) Upotin tähän tilkkupintaan aiempien kangasleikkituokioitteni tuloksia. Tikkauskuvioon innoitti omenakankaaseen lähtemättömästi jäänyt ommelreikärivi. Peitin sen siis tikkauksilla. Omenakangas on Tyttären ehkä ala-asteen käsitöissä ompelemista sortseista, jotka hän heti niiden valmistuttua lahjoitti minulle tilkkutyömateriaaliksi. I’ve used earlier patchwork play ...

Around the World Blog Hop

This blog post is in English because this is my entry in the Around the World Blog Hop. Tiinatei from the Tilkkutie blog invited me, and so it is now my turn to answer these four questions: 1. What am I working on?  2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?  3. Why do I write/create what I do?  4. How does my writing/creating process work?  Here goes… What am I working on?  I always have several projects going on at one time. This does not stress me because I know I can finish almost everything I start. Tractor track blocks quilt – top done, quilt back in progress:     Jigsaw puzzle quilt – appliqueing in progress. The quilt is still in four pieces, waiting for the missing appliques.  Plus blocks quilt – blocks done, top building in progress: The interesting quilt block quilt – a bunch of blocks ready: Another quilt project, probably based on a disappearing 9-patch – fabrics pulled. There...
