Mini Madness book cover

As an Island Batik Ambassador we have lots of fun every month. The challenge this month was paper piecing. I work with an EPP project, as I love hexagon quilting. Tomorrow you can find that project on my blog. But I was tempted to make a paper pieced tulip block, and today I made it into a sweet book cover.

Som ambassadør for Island Batik får vi utfordringer hver måned. Denne måneden skal vi sy papirsøm. Ettersom jeg elsker å sy sekskanter, startet jeg et slikt prosjekt straks jeg fikk disse flotte stoffene. Dette arbeidet er enda ikke ferdig, men jeg håper å få det ferdig og på bloggen i morgen. Måtte jo også prøve litt annen papirsøm, og falt for denne tulipanblokken. Det ble til et nydelig boktrekk.

I picked these beautiful Island Batik fabrics for this project. I didn't know that batiks came in such fantastic colours before.

Aurifil Thread is a perfect match for these fabrics, and you'll find it in whatever colour you may need.

Biprodukt

Da jeg holder på med mange store og langvarige prosjekter, så er det flott innimellom å sy noe smått som blir fort ferdig. Her sydde jeg en bie på papir, og nå har jeg fått plassert den utenpå et boktrekk. Tror jeg må sy flere slike nå som jeg har funnet ut hvordan jeg skal gjøre det.

I have many longtime projects, and in between I have to make smaller things. Great to have some finishes too. I made a paper pieced bee some time ago, and now I put it on the front of this bookcover.

Boktrekk

Fant denne fine blokken som jeg en gang har sydd. Tenkte jeg skulle sy et boktrekk av den, men synes det var vanskelig å beregne størrelsen. Strevde lenge med hvordan jeg skulle brette og sy, men klarte det til slutt. Nå må jeg jo sy flere snart.

I found a nice block I made long ago, and wanted to make it into a book cover. A bit tricky to do it right. But once I've done it, I have to do more of these.
