Sneak peeks

of my new community project in the start pit; don’t worry, you’ll see more of it than you ever knew you wanted to.
Thanks for all your kind offers to send me pressing mats; that is so sweet of you! I do however own several silicone/Teflon sheets and also use a lot of baking paper when I’m working with fusible web. This Thing was bought for the sole purpose to shield fabric from yellowing and those annoying shiny spots I sometimes get on dark solids while pressing seams. See? Sure it prevents shines, scorch and flattening; your iron gets unusable...

As to my much beloved thimbles; they are called Jelly Thimbles and come in 3 sizes and several yummy colours. I got mine at Kaktus Quilts, but you can also find them through here.

I thought you also might like to see my currently favourite commercial. For those of you who do not read Norwegian it says “It’s smart when you’re young - to think about that you one day will get old” (ad for pension insurance).



I just love the lyrics with the images of people expressing who they are. I too am what I am, you know, and My Own Special Creation includes a little clutter here and there (and pretty much everywhere), some excess weight, lots of smiley wrinkles, my loving family and lots and lots of quilts. No tattoos though.
