This first week of our summerholiday, the children and I are visiting my parents. They have a house, and a garden..... So there is lots and lots of playing outside, and I don't have to worry about broken glass, cigarette-stubs etc. So nice!I also found the very first quilt I ever made. It's not really quilted, not even tied.... And it's quite lump as a result. LOL!
I made this in 94 -I think- and then I didn't really quilt again until 3-4 years ago!
Viola loves this quilt, because it is purple...I comented on a give-away post on Wen's blog A Simple Life. I didn't win, but she still sent me this absolutely lovely gift..
A little purse and a sewn grocery-bag! I love them both!!
The grocerybags can be folded up, and I can cary it around with me all the time. No more buying those plastic bags!! I'm so happy! Thank you so much Wen!I was tagged by the wonderful Suzanne from create fun and mess.... 6 unimportant facts about me:
1: I love ice-cream, my favourite is Ben&Jerrys mint-cookie-ice-cream
2: I don't like swimming in the ocean, the fish freak me out a little
3: I'm quite shy
4: I love Elvis Presley and Dolly Parton
5: I love sushi
6: I don't have a favourite color
Thanks for tagging me, I won't tag anyone....I'm not on my own computer, and this machine is taking forever to do the simplest things :-(
SØDESTE means sweetest. I got the name, because Charles set up my Flickr-account with that name, thinking I could change it later.... But how could I change it, when he gave me a name like that?!
I love seeing your first quilt - log cabin is one of my favorite patterns, and the colors are so perfect for Viola. What a great vacation you are having - I wish Charles could be there, too. Thank you for sharing what Sodeste means with us - such a sweet story!!
ReplyDeleteI love sushi too. :) Your first quilt is fantastic! Much better than mine! :)
ReplyDeleteWow, Tine, that is a very impressive first quilt!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy visiting your parents : )
Such a nice first quilt. I should get around to posting a pic of mine too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that he set up your flickr with that name. Of course you kept it! How could you not?
I was wondering about Sodeste...thanks for sharing. Isn't it funny looking back at your first quilt.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice first quilt!!!! All the first quilts were of pattern "quarter" which I made.Simple, but still loved, what I know! :-) Have a nice holiday at bedsteforaeldre!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday Tine. Your 1st quilt is amazing, I am just about to start out and I hope I can achieve something like this.
ReplyDeleteI liked hearing how your blog got its name.
wow.. that is a very nice first quilt. and glad u like the bags :)
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful story behind your blog and flickr name. that is just the sweetest thing I've heard. and how fitting for you, too.
ReplyDeleteNice quilt! I might get up the courage to share mine one day too - it's a mess of mismatched seams...
ReplyDeleteLove those bags you got - I bought some of that hippo-fabric at IKEA on my last visit, but I haven't used it for anything yet - shopping bags might be a good idea!
Have fun on your holiday :-)
I'm with Viola, I love the quilt, too, but not because it's purple--because it's "log cabin." Someday...I would LOVE to make one also. :)
ReplyDeletehey it's a lovely quilt! You chose such a difficult design for your first quilt and you've done a beautiful job! The little red shopping bag is so cute! Have a lovely vacation!
ReplyDeleteDo they make those boots in my size??
ReplyDeleteWonderful!!!
ReplyDeletelove the quilt too
ReplyDeletewill you take it home with you?
what a sweet person, and a sweet little bag! i love the hippos
What a sweet name for your blog! - I have made plastic bag replacement bags of old shirts and thin synthetic fabrics, they look exactly like your bag but your fabric is a lot nicer!
