Fabric Book #2

 My theme for Fiber Fever's book page swap in 2010 was "Doors". The photo of the Greek door on the cover is first printed on cotton, then overlayed with the same print on organza. I quilted the layers together and added some hand embroidery. I'm happy with the result!

Fabric Book

In 2009 I signed up for my first fabric book page swap in the Fiber Fever textile group. My theme was "Flowers". Until yesterday, the pages I received have been displayed on a wall in my sewing room.  But now, at last!!, I've made the book I've planned for such a long time. The pages are 6 x 6", so the book is slightly larger.

Bossy??

I made this bag for a lady who sings in a choir. The size should fit her music books. The lady's sign says: "I'm not bossy, I just have better ideas"........

Fabric Book Page - December 2011

This is my December fabric book page made for Maureen in Australia. Her theme is "Spring". The fabrics are silk, most of them my own hand dyed - a stamp, some sequines, pearls, embroidery and couched yarn.

Wine Bags

I've made some wine bags lately. I love this lady! She's on the front of the bag and the clock is on the back. If you click on the photos, you'll see that the sign says "It's wine o'clock", and you'll find wine botttles on the clocks.....

Fun with Felting Needles

I love knitting - earlier this autumn I tried something else than sweaters, scarves and socks. First I knitted the bag and ran it through the felting needles on my Bernina and then I made the flowers and did some hand embroidery. The bag is 7 x 7" and is lined with a green mottled handdyed fabric. The funny thing is that the bag won a price - some bundles of alpacca and silk yarn - just enough for another sweater.....!

Mug Rugs

At long last, I've made some mug rugs....! Mona made this pattern which has been published in "Quiltemagasinet". The grey fabric is a Japanese one, the others my own handdyed. The mug rugs were fun and quick to make. Thank you Mona for a great pattern!!
