Nye nåleputer

Disse har jeg sydd i det siste. Noen som tviler på at jeg elsker nåleputer?

These pincushions I've made this month. Do you know that I love pincushions?

Denne månedens blokker er grønne. Og det passer bra nå når det spirer og gror ute. Riktignok har vi fått litt snø siste dagene, men håper det smelter fort.

This month's colour is green. So happy to see that nature is turning green too. A little bit of snow the last days, but hopefully it will disappear soon.

Starstruck with Island Batik

The challenge for all Island Batik Ambassadors in September was to sew something using stars. I've been away or occupied almost all September, but this last week I played with these beautiful batiks from a line called "Check it out". Just look at those colours. Click the link and see more of this line. And then I had to try the black solid. I didn't really know that batiks came as solids, until I was sent this fabric from Island Batik.

All fabrics and thread used in this project is given me by Island Batik and partner Aurifil.

I love to make table runners, and this one is 13"x40". I like how these wonky stars came out. This evening I put on the binding and hand sewed it to the back side.

I also made some other stars earlier this month. They were just perfect for some nice pincushions.

And there are more stars. I'm really starstruck this month. Remember the fabric rolls I gave to my German friends in May? One of the girls made this Dresden plate star. Isn't it beautiful?

My fellow ambassadors also made their starstruck projects this month. One of the sweetest little things made you can find here. In this blogpost you can find the links to all the other ambassadors.
Thank you for visiting my blog.

Scrappy star - a tutorial

After making this runner, I have been challenged to show how I made my scrappy stars. So here we go.


This is how it's going to be.

Start with eight 3 1/4" squares from a neutral fabric.

Put four away and make the star points on the other four.

Find some different scraps minimum 3# squares. Cut them to triangles like this.

Sew the triangle to the white square. The pin marks the middle, and the lower part of the triangle should be to the left of the pin. The star point have to be under the corner somewhere. Make some differences for the four parts to make them wonky.

Fingerpress the first triangle, and sew on the other. Remember to cross the two at least 1/2" from the bottom of the white square. Don't cut the white away, that will be your guide for squaring it up.
