Triflers...

After beeing a clever UFO-hunter I just HAD to make someting small and easy... And start to play with new fabrics and ideas. I found some small square saucers I culd use with my cups from Søstrene Greene. So I had to make me new costers... Realy need it. New fabrics and new idea... Yessss... :-)


I have also atlast manage to play with my selvage edges.. I got a great kick after the visit from Nothern Quilts at our quilt meeting last Thursday. Take a look at May Britts Blog.. So when I got in the car on our way back home, my mind start spinning. The handbag was the first attempt and it was so fun so I had to do the shoulderbag. This are from an old pattern made by Bjørg. I great friend of me, sadly no blog... I'm so lucky to have a lot of more selvage edges... I got more ideas... ;-)
More new ideas and new fabrics... I got Christmas fabrics from Lappemor and halve it with my friend Vigdis. And she gave me ( us) a challenge...we had to do something of the fabrics when they are fresh- a tough act :-) But here are mine tablerunner... I used almost all of the Scandinavian Christmas fabrics by Lynette Anderson :-)


So back for some more UFO items.. This tablerunner done atlas :-) Another Bjørg pattern.With a lot of Quilting. I got more Bjørg items in my UFO pile, so I hope I have more to show soon.
More from my UFO pile. A leftover from a Jinny Beyer quilt,with to small fabrics to make the border, so I deside to make roses. The suddenly my Blanket stitch-refusal hit me.. and it fell into the UFO pile. Now I deside to use Magda and suddenly it was done..
The last of my finishes this time are Mug rugs made of leftovers and selvage edges from the Christmas fabrics... Hope you can see the birds on the edges , they are sooo cute :-)
I can't wait untill the next Christmas fabrics parcel arrive.... Hmmm what to do then.. :-)

Hugs :-)
