I'm totally hooked on these gift tags, and can't stop making them. Thank you so much for the idea @bluebellhillcrafts. There is a pocket on the back side you can put in a greeting card.

Project Quilting 17 - 6
A Happy Handful - the last theme for this year from Persimon Dreams. This was just perfect for me, as I will have few hours to sew this week. And I needed a mini pincushion to bring with me. Perfect in a little box with embroidery floss.

Needle books
This last month I've made several needle books from scraps. All of them are hand quilted. Here you can see some of them.

Lupine & Laughter - part 3
Clue three for Bonnie Hunter's Mystery is HSTs. The HSTs are different sizes and different colour combos. After some wrong cutting I found the right combos and made a bunch this week. I love chain piecing the blocks after all is cut. This is how long I came this week.

Lupine & Laughter - part 2
Every week I sew as many blocks I can for this mystery from Bonnie Hunter. This was a fun one, and I've never done flying geese easier. Bonnie's measurement is perfect. Here you can see the two first parts together, as long as I've come. Waiting for tomorrow.

Scrappy meets thrift
I've been making these blocks every week for months now. It's a challenge from @repreoquiltlover, and you can still jump in. This week I counted 250 small blocks, and as that was my goal, I now have to find out how to join them. Actually it's supposed to be a neutral in-between block, but I love them together like on the picture. The problem is that the finished quilt will be too small. Have to think about it for a while.

A moment in time
The theme this month from Art Journal Journey, and a challenge for me. I made a new page for my journal, but I have two pages left before I can show you my little scrappy book.

Background
The theme from Art Journal Journey this month is to make our own background for a journal page. I'm just now making art journals for children, or quiet books if you like. And I'm making backgrounds with old fabrics and scraps. So it's also a recycling project. Here are some of my quilted backgrounds.
After I've quilted them, they get an activity on top. Here you can see a space ship, an elephant with a secret behind his ear and a pair of shoes. Children love to look into these journals and find out what to do on all the pages.

Meditationscroll
I've seen these rolls on Instagram and blogs from different quilters these last months. So I had to try it myself, and now I'm totally hooked. This i my first one, and it's a great way to use all those tiniest scraps. If you visit my Instagram you can watch a video of it all.

One hundred blocks
Scrappy meets thrift is a challenge from @reproquiltlover. I've planned to make 250 blocks for this challenge. Today I could count the first hundred. The blocks are 2 1/2", and will finish as 2" in a quilt. They're really addictive to sew. I just managed to put all hundred in a pile and take a photo before it overturned.

Scrappy meets thrift
Some weeks ago I started a challenge from @reproquiltlover to make small economy blocks. Every week I've made some new blocks, always using fabric from my scrap bin. This week I met some quilting friends, and even if we talked a lot and had a great time, I managed to make some new blocks. There is also a picture of the 36 blocks I've made earlier for this project.

Book cover and a snowman
A while ago I made this book cover inspired by Vincent van Gogh. It has been a secret project, but now I can show you. On the front side I have put "'Starry night" and on the back side it's "Sunflowers". I used old denim scraps and other small pieced from my scrap bag. The inside is also hand quilted, as you can see.
I made a little snowman yesterday. He's struggling with the higher temperatures today. Hopefully he will be the last snowman here this winter.

Project Quilting 16 - 2
Ombre is this week's theme for the challenge from Persimon Dreams. I immediately thought about these hot pads. I've done them in different colours before, but never like this, from light to dark. So fun to dig in my bag with blue scraps to find all these treasures. The quilt is 7"x11".

Old Town Mystery
A couple of weeks ago Bonnie Hunter posted the reveal, and I've started to join the smaller pieces to make blocks. I have planned to finish a baby quilt from these blocks, hopefully during April. I just have to cut and sew some more small pieces.

Project Quilting 16 - 1
My first finish for the new year is the first Project Quilting challenge from Persimon Dreams. The challenge was mythical creatures, and I really find a snowman mythical. He is standing there one day, and the next he could be totally disappeared.
I made a home for the snowman, and the dinosaur is watching him. I hope he's not cooling down everything put on him, as this is a hot pad, Size; 7"x11".

Old Town Mystery #6 and #7
With an extra clue for Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt this week I have to try to catch up the next days. Clue 6 was easy, as we have made those HSTs already in other colours. The small flying geese are so sweet. I love small pieces, so this was perfect for me. And I'm happy that we started joining some of the clues already and make bigger blocks.
Here is a picture of all the different blocks we've already made.
