Three pocket tote

I have made two three-pocket totes to give away as presents.
The pattern is "Three Pocket Tote" (TQC401) designed by Karen Montgomery, published by The Quilt Company .

Ran into the woods next to my house to get the picture, got eaten up by mosquitoes. But it is so pretty with the sharp green new growth on the blueberry brush and the pine trees.

Preparing summer vacation projects

I have started to learn myself to crochet. My goal is the blanket
Summer Garden Granny Squares at my favourite Crochet blog; Attic24.

Here is the best result so far. I will keep practicing, and maybe buy some brighter cotton yarn for a whole blanket this summer. Anybody have any idea how much yarn I should get?

I have also started to wash and iron fabrics for my next quilt called "Summer in the Garden". It is a kit purchased from The Country Schoolhouse last summer. It is based on fabric by Holly Taylor called Natural Garden.

I have made a kit for my mother-in-law in the US, to show her how to make money pouches this summer.

For the boys room!

I have now finished a soccer wall hanging for my sisters boys room.
I have used hexagons as on the soccer ball, and thick batting. The hexagon technique I found in May Britt's blog, quick and easy! Also a great way to use up your scraps!

The color palette is from the soccer field, and in addition red for their favourite team Manchester United. The gold hexagon is for their favourite player David Beckham's gold shoes.

I have also finished another knitted scarf and more money pouches as christmas presents.

Money Pouches

I have now finished 3 money pouches. The locks were delivered from Lappedilla today. The first one (cats) was made at a meeting in my quilting group; Sølvtråden Lappelag. The pattern is from Quiltemagasinet No 5 2007. The orange one is for my mom to go with the quilted handbag . The blue/brown one is for my sister, I am making her a handbag for Christmas.

And, by the way, snow is here and christmas is running up quickly!
