Little Red Riding Hood

The things are not always as they first appear. Little red riding hood noticed it when she went to her grandmother's cottage and met a big bad wolf here. The wolf had attired in grandmother's clothes. Little red riding hood became soon aware that there was something strange with her grandma but she didn't trust her perceptions and the wolf managed to catch her. Fortunately there was a hunter nearby and he rescued little red riding hood.

I have learned that I should always follow my nose even if it seems to be absurd. When I have done so it have turned out to be good decision.

Have you ever felt bad about the wolf? I have sometimes wondered if the wolf really was so bad or was he just misunderstood...

A pouch

Not sewing or stitching much during last days - I haven't felt very well. This is what I have done: a little make up bag or a pouch e.g. for pencils. I got a pattern of the pouch from my quilting friend Tuula. The pattern is practical because it is easy to change the dimensions of the pouch. I need to make them more and all sizes, little and bigger ones. And you can use your imagination with embellishing it. This time I made a choice to decorate it with a heart.

March

I stitched this little quilt yesterday night when I watched Finnish 'Dancing with the stars' on the tv. I am waiting so much for spring and flowers but here in Finland there is much snow and tonight it is snowing more again. But the days are coming brighter day after day - the spring is under way.

Cinderella

I have been so bursting to make these blocks of fairy tale. I have had so fun! And Now I have finished the third block of Once Upon a Time quilt - and bibbidi bobbidi boo, here is Cinderella! You must know Cinderella's story so I don't need to tell it ;) I have found just right place for this quilt when it will be completed. I will hang it up on the wall of my workroom.

Jack & Beanstalk

Second block of Once Upon a Time quilt is now finished. In the block you find Jack climbing up beanstalk. He arrived in a hig up in the clouds where he had a little adventure in the giant's castle. Jack managed to return happily back home with treasures.

Jack had courage to grab at the opportunity which brought out. Do I have the same courage as Jack - do I even notice opportunities straigt ahead me?

Hansel & Gretel

Okey, you get what you want! The colours of this quilt are bright. Almost too bright - I think now. I have to consider carefully what kind of sashing I'll use between blocks.; maybe dark blue or something light as they are in the pattern. But the first block of Once Upon a Time BOM is now finished and I'm very glad about it :) Eight more to go!
