Time for clue 3 in Bonnie Hunter's Mystery. This was an easy one, my hour glass blocks were sewn up without any difficulties.

This week I've been working with clue 2 of the mystery from Bonnie Hunter. Yesterday she published clue 3, so even if I didn't finish all the small fourpatches, I'll start the new blocks today.

This time of the year is mystery time from Bonnie Hunter. As usual I'll try to make as many blocks I can every week. After that I will decide what to do with them. Always something to learn from Bonnie.
Clue 1 was a flying geese block. I started a bit late, so these are my first geese. Tomorrow on to clue 2 before we get the next step on Friday.

Some years ago I made mice for Christmas and gave them away. I had one left, and now was the time to make some more of them. They are really cute, aren't they?

I've almost forgotten my blog. But my Instagram @densyendehimmel can show you more of what I sew just now. For a Christmas market soon I will make some more hot pads and some other small items. Here is one hot pad that's finished and some others under making.

Last week I was in Alsace together with two of my friends, Margun and Randi. We had some nice days there, watching all the exhibitions in churches and halls. So much inspiration, and my head is now full of new projects to try. There were also shops, lectures, quilt parade and other fun things to experience. Here are some photoes from the September days in France.

I have lots of small scraps, even after I have used some of it for different projects. They are too pretty to throw away. Therefore I have started to make new fabric by sewing the smallest pieces together to make new fabric. Some of the pieces I will use in quiet books, and others for pot holders. I think it's possible to use these new fabrics for more than that too. You may have more ideas!

After weeks where my sewing machine hasn't been working with me, I now found out what was wrong. Now it sews so well, hopefully. I had to test it by making some new pincushions. These are made with selvages, and are so fun to make.
Many of you have asked what I stuff them with. And here you can see, all the tiniest scraps. The pincushions will be stable and the needles won't go through.

I love denim scraps, and they're so good to use to free hand embroider on. Now I've started a new book cover. The back side is not so pretty, but I have a plan for it. Hopefully I can show more next month if I find the time to continue this work.

May is always a fun month with challenges for the smallest quilts you can think of. The biggest one is in my hand, and it's 3 1/2" square. I made seven of them this year. Here you can see them all. Which do you like the best?
