My mum was here for her birthday last week which means I didn&#8217;t do much (except baking and eating cakes. Oh yes, cakes, as in baking three and eating two!). I&#8217;d like to show you a couple of things now, though.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blog: &#8220;Great! What would you like to show me then?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elisabeth: &#8220;First, I want to show you a gift I got from my sister Kristine. She crocheted this lovely bag and showed it to me on Skype. When I said how cute I thought it was she gave it to me. Fabulous, isn&#8217;t it? Sadly I don&#8217;t get to use it much as Little Miss Bossy-Boots has taken it and is using it all the time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0052.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1210\" title=\"Kristine's Bag\" src=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0052.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blog: &#8220;That bag is lovely! What else did you want to show me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elisabeth: &#8220;I suddenly had the urge to do some embroidery. The bird was inspired by a drawing I did for Little Miss Bossy-Boots. I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;m going to make with these two embroideries but I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll think of something at some stage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0056.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1212\" title=\"Flower Garden\" src=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0056.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0054.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1211\" title=\"Bird\" src=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0054.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blog: &#8220;Cute. How about turning one of them into a Kindle cover?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elisabeth: &#8220;Good idea, Blog, I&#8217;ll see if I can find some fabrics to go with the bird. The last thing I want to show is a really fabulous book.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0058.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1213\" title=\"Fat Quarterly Shape Workshop for Quilters\" src=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0058.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"640\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You know how much I like <a title=\"Fat Quarterly\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fatquarterly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Fat Quarterly<\/a>, don&#8217;t you? I mean, I&#8217;m going to their Retreat in London, I go on and on about <a title=\"I'm A Ginger Monkey\" href=\"http:\/\/imagingermonkey.blogspot.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\">Katy Jones<\/a> (bit of crush there?!)&#8230;.. When I heard that they were writing a book I knew I was going to buy it and yesterday it arrived. I love it. Last year I bought some fat quarters and yardage of Echo by Lotta Jansdotter and I&#8217;ve been looking for a pattern to turn it into a quilt ever since. Well, I&#8217;ve found it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sharksdinner.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/DSC_0060.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1214\" title=\"Castle Wall by John Q.

I&#8217;m sure nobody who knows me is surprised by the fact that I&#8217;ve fallen for a block that&#8217;s called Castle Wall (for those who don&#8217;t know me: I studied Medieval English Language and Literature) and it&#8217;s by John Q.

At least I have a project to take to the Sewing Retreat. Although how much sewing I will be doing I&#8217;m not sure but more about that later.
