SCRAP AND CROCHET FLOWERS!
January 31, 2012 by Teje
Hello everyone! I hope you are and not feeling as cold as we are! It’s about +3 degrees and if it’s not raining it’s hailing! So what can we do … stay inside and sew and crochet! I happened to make flowers – with fabric and with yarn!
This is my latest work with scraps from my fabric stash. I tried not to have any orange this time … but I guess that’s not possible for me!
My first idea when starting this, was to make it circle and frame it like the ‘Sunshine’ circle. But during the work I realized that this didn’t like to stay around and the size for that frame so I changed my plan.
I wanted to make a frame with dark blue fabric to add some stronger colour and then I attached my ‘fabric painting’ to a painting canvas with wooden frame.
And here you are … my fabric painting. Maybe I start to miss painting because lately pictures are so often in my mind! If you like to see how I made a scrap flower for a notebook, click HERE.
I am linking with my friend Kati at ‘From the Blue Chair’! She has a wonderful link party engouraging us to use our fabric stash! And she makes fantastic quilts with amazing colours!Also I am linking with my friends Megan and Heather’s ‘Fabric Tuesday’ at ‘Quilt Story’!
The light is absolutely not enough to take photos, because our weather is really really cold and rainy. Today it was even hailing a little bit.
I do hope we get some sunlight soon, so that I can have decent photos for my shop.
Just for a while it was not raining and I asked nicely if Nero would like to be a model. I’m happy he agreed to wear this girlish flower scarf …
Fortunately I found a little bit purple yarn which is the same as this green. With the purple yarn I fixed my old knitted jacket if you remember – some grannies and crochet lines to the sleeves. I love these colours!
I would like to tell you that my friend Kelly from ‘The Blue Bird Sews’, is having a great link party! The subject is our online shops – talking about everything about selling our crafts, where, how, inspirations etc. etc.
And because after a while I have some knitting and crochetin here, I’m happy to link with Andrea, Linda and Beth!
With this bucket of flowers and leaves I leave you to dream about spring! I hope you have something beautiful and warm to cheer you up during these cold days! Thank You again for your wonderful comments! It’s always enjoy to read them!
Hugs and Kisses!
TEJE & NERO

Nero looks so handsome in the scarf! Hee.hee & your fabric collage is beautiful! I love the spiky flower, very cool!
What a great flower! Love Nero and the scarf.
Ooooh, he looks very cosy in your beautiful scarf Teje ~ thank you for sharing your lovely photos, love the textile art work too, you’re very clever!
Love Julia x x x
Your newest framed quilting is beautiful Teje. The circular one I bought from your shop is hanging in my Studio and looks wonderful. Your scarf is super, the flowers are a perfect finishing touch. I think we are all having bad weather…it’s been only +2oc here today and a very heavy frost is due overnight….brrrrrrrrrr! Enjoy your crafting,

Very nice fabric’spainting, and her is’t also very cold -11 . The stove is warm and real time to quilt.
I love the purple with the green in that scarf, it is so creative!
And, I ran into a man from Finland at the park the other day, who started quizzing me on my (very limited) Finnish skills- and tried correcting my pronunciation of my dogs’ names.
Those purpley flowers were just the perfect touch to your scarf–and what a regal and handsome model. My little Arthur would be tearing around the house like a whirling dervish, the scarf wafting after him with his partners in crime in hot pursuit. Stay warm and do your magic inside.
I like the purple flowers with the green on the scarf. The fabric painting from scraps came out very nicely too. It is quite unique.
I love your applique flower, the fabric picture is perfect!
Your scarf is great too, you are a very talented girl!
Hope you are staying warm and cozy and I just love the flowers you showed today. The scarf looks like it could brighten any gray day!! Also Katie and Sammy say hi!!
That fabric painting is wonderful. I’ve done so little applique. Yours came out lovely. Thanks for linking up to Slash the Stash!
The scarf was already lovely, but the flowers make it very special, Nero looks very well suited to hail weather! I love the fabric flower, it reminds me of of something, some kind of cactus? But lovely!
I am glad you have Nero to model for you.
Teje I can’t believe how you can turn scraps into such beauty!! I love your finished olive scarf and who better to model it than beautiful Nero! I hope you get some sunshine soon!
How adorable Nero looks in your beautiful new scarf! I love the crochet flowers very much, they make it look really special and the colours all look lovely together. The scrap flowers are amazing, so exotic…it’s incredible what you can create with little bits of fabric!
Wishing you a wonderful weekend, Teje.

Such a pretty mini quilt, and Nero looks lovely in the scarf!
I love your fabric painting. That flower is awesome!
And how nice of Nero to model such a feminine scarf.
Stay warm.
That is a very lovely scarf! And you are such a good quilter!
Nero is adorable (as always) modeling the scarf. Such a beautiful dog.
I love the quilt photo you made. Beautiful work.
Another great post, thank you so much. I love your stories and photos. Nero looks handsome in the scarf and poses so nicely. The applique work is so interesting.
Thank you for your sweet words! x Teje & Nero
