Frosty Luxembourg


Early this morning we had ice-rain here in Luxembourg...it was nearly impossible to left the house without a bucket of salt....
the streets were like a mirror......
and this evening the same game begins...ice-rain and very low temperatures...
Brrrrrrr.....
The picture above is from our little goldfish pond....

The pattern is printed in different colours. I taped a bit of fabric to the colour sheme of the pattern, so for me it's easier to make no mistakes (hopefully!!)

Sewing again! :-)


That's the wall hanging I'm sewing for the moment, a beautiful rose pattern from
SilverLiningOriginals
But I'm sewing it in different colours, not pink-red but orange-red and a black background.

after cutting out the different pattern pieces I pin the first fabric on the paper...

than I fold the paper over and cut a small seam allowance...
Posted by Picasa

as you can see I don't cut the following pieces but I take a smaller piece of fabric and sew the paper piece on...
Posted by Picasa

I flip the whole piece of fabric over and press it....
Posted by Picasa

after pressing I cut the fabric,...never forget to let at least 1/4" seam allowance on the paper edges....
Posted by Picasa

The piece nr 4 is a background piece.....

When the little block is finished cut the seams all around to 1/4"

when you don't know if your fabric piece is big enough to cover the paper, you only have to flip the paper back like this....so you can see if the fabric(here the black one) is big enough....
Posted by Picasa

For this special pattern the paper pieces are very small.......

a finished part....

Sorry for not posting the last days. I had a very bad flu and now the last 2-3 days back pain...but it's going better now.
The last days I knitted some socks for my daughter but yesterday I had to sew! I'm sewing a wall hanging in paper piecing technique and I took some pics.....I will post them this evening..hopefully.
Have a good day!
