HANNA PRESENTS ‘PINK BIRDS’ QUILT »

BLUE WONKY COLOUR CIRCLE FLOWER

February 16, 2012 by Teje

… that is a monster word … but how else can I describe this …

Hello my dear friends!!! I hope you are fine! I am today all the day at home and I had so many plans as you can guess. I am making the binding for the ‘Pink Birds’ quilt and it will be finished today! I think it’s quite cute!

For this colour circle project – perhaps I could have left out that ‘flower’ but even I don’t know exactly how this project will end. I have now the red and blue but I am missing yellow – iiiiiik – I don’t have yellows! Yellow is not really my colour but now here it is very much needed.

Have you seen a cat who doesn’t care about mouse? I have to say that Nelli is very good hunter but as a sewing assistant I can’t say the same … she prefers to see dreams than my scraps.

I’m almost sure that this winter we have had the worst weather in last 20 years, that I have been living in Crete. It just doesn’t stop raining! Today there was few times a little bit sun, but every one hour again very hard rain. And that means also very cold!

Yesterday I came again from that road where I met those two dogs. I didn’t see them but when I stopped to take photos they came to me. So quickly they learnt to recognize me – last time they didn’t come to me but I went to them. Now I need to buy more crackers to have in the car.

These circles begin because there is so much mini quilt inspiration around these days. Here are few more links to you: Nichi from Quilty Cat makes really beautiful and unique quilts and other sewing crafts! I enjoy also the colours she uses!

If you like inspiration and quite much challenge, you find it from Megan at Canoe Ridge Creations! Look her earlier post. (I’m sorry but I can’t make the link to go straight to that post).

If you have heard about New York Beauty, you know what’s going on. Those blocks are just amazing and can make so many different kind of amazing quilts! I would love to join …. but I’m a little bit worried about the paper piecing. From Megan I found this site - for example good dog and cat blocks!

Yesterday evening I was going through my ‘quilt’ notebooks. They are quite a mess because I’m always so busy to mark quickly something just to remember my ideas. I found something which I thought would make a great mini quilt – and easy. So I have a plan to make a small mini quilt and tutorial for that. I know that many of you would like to make a quilt or start patchworks. I want to encourage you because I should have started loooooooong time ago! I am thinking to name that mini quilt: candy something …

Look carefully – there are two rainbows and they were almost full! Wow – that must mean something good!

I wish you very good day and I hope to see you soon! I’m on my way to choose some caramel colours!

Hugs and kisses!

TEJE

PS. Oh – I just noticed that this is my 200 th post! Wow – how time goes! What on earth have wrote to all those posts?!

So you did manage! This wonky flower looks great too. I can’t wait to see what you are going to do with these flowers. I have the same issue with yellow; not really my color. But at some point I noticed that it is necessary to have all colors in stash, because they just are needed. So one time I went to the fabric store and bought only fat quarters in colors I would usually ignore.
Hope you will have some nice weather!

Congrats on your 200th post! I think your circles would make great quilted slip covers for round throw cushions. What amazing pictures of the rainbows! That’s got to be lucky!

  Thank you Lori for your sweet words! I have seen that it’s possible to make a book with wordpress. That would be fun and great way to save all photos and crafts!

I love that double rainbow. I see them occasionally, but I never have my camera, or am driving, and somehow never get a picture of them.

Hi Teje, lovely to visit tonight, I am intrigued by your circles ….. I like the 15minutes Play blog and love to make “something out of nothing” – I made two very warm fleece backed blankets that way for our cold weather. You must be having much more rain than we in the UK, but it must have cheered you up to see the beautiful rainbow :0)
Have a lovely creative weekend,
Val xx

  Thank you Val, for your lovely comment! Fleece blankets sounds so good! Normally we use heating only few hours in a day, but no it’s working all the time. Any way sooner than we realize, it’s hot hot again! Have a wonderful time and give hugs to Bella! x Teje

It is hard to believe your winter has been a bad one because your pictures of the waves and water look so inviting and warm.

I am glad you are making friends with those dogs. Are they strays?

YOur quilting projects are really nice. You have been really creative lately!

  Thank you for your lovely comment!
  I guess those dogs spend they time all the summer near to this beach and the taverna ther is. But in winter there is no one, so they are quite alone. They look good so perhaps someone feeds them.

Teje, congrats on your 200 post! Love your ‘wonky color circle flowers’! Perhaps you can use them as applique on a quilt? A pity you have such cold weather, but soon it’s spring and summer your side… Keep warm!

  Thank you Jane! Today we had sunshine but very very cold strong north wind. I had a walk with dogs wearing my Finnish winter coat! Have a great weekend! x Teje

Wow. Love the work and the scenery! Our winter has been mild and without snow (NY)… stinky.

Congratulations on your 200 posts! Love the new patchwork wonky circles, they look very effective. I enjoyed seeing the blue sea and rainbow skies in your cheerful post today.
Happy weekend to you and the furry friends.

What fun little circles that will be part of something beautiful when you’re finished…and I love the pictures of Crete…especially the rainbows!

Just when I start to gush over your beautiful quilting you share that double rainbow. I never get a good photo of rainbows and you did. Beautiful.

Two almost full rainbows must mean a long, varm summer is coming soon. Your circles are beautiful Terje

You have such a lovely blog. Congrats on 200 posts! That is wonderful. I love your flowers and can’t wait to see what you ‘do’ with them. And I am also thinking of doing the New York Beauty quilt along, but we will see how time works for me this spring! Hope the sun starts to shine more often for you! Hugs! Vickie

  Thank you Vickie! I would love to do the New York Beauty quilt along, but I think I don’t have time.
  Sunshine to you, too! x Teje

I am very far behind in my blog reading. (A puppy is A LOT of work. ) Your pictures sure are pretty. The double rainbow is quite beautiful. We have had a strange winter too. Not much snow, but a lot of rain. As always, your sewing is very nice. Can’t wait to see what else you made.
