Dear Jane quilt

Got my Dear Jane quilt book yesterday :)



I really liked it before I could even quilt, but now for what colours to use. Random is nice but I saw some other really nice ones on google picture search, one of them is a black & white one but I also saw a nice red white and blue one, am even tempted to do the border triangles in orange ;) 

My favorite coulor is purple and I wonder to use that with black or green or even both... should just attempt to start and see how it looks or not ;)

Have any of you ever made this?

CCN houses update....

I'm still busy with June but I promised you an update of the other houses I already did.
Here are January until May:


Snowman still needs eyes but I fail at making french knots...








Also still pondering what to do with them, do them as a wall hanging/flat fold alone or per season....

Well hello..

How are you all?
Had a nice christmas and new year?

I have been busy ;)
Made this christmas ornament at Evelyn's


Attempted a Tilda Tree


Loom knitted some candle holders (made two red ones and a green one)



I managed to finish putting together all the bits of my first quilt but I don't have a picture of it only this one with one side missing. Will post that soon since I hopefully be starting with stitching the layers this week.


And am very behind with my CCN cottages... Here an update on June
