what`s going on at my sewingroom

my octagon quilt top is finished

here you can see my octagon quilt top,it measures 2,30x 2,30 m,it is sewn by hand and because i had so much leftovers from the clamshell quilt i made a border of 480 hexagons around it, have a nice rest of the week,susi

a few more houses

it is so much fun to sew these little houses,and i found a little piece of fabric with rain on it,i think it was a debbie mumm design,today we had all our four grandchildren here for eating pancakes, have a nice week,susi

building houses from scraps 1+2

hello friends,these are my first two little houses build of scraps,the one on the right was the first one i made in english paper piecing ,it is 5"square and i needed one and a half hour to sew it,the second one on the left took me just half an hour because i appliqued the door and the window afterwards,when the block was pieced,have a nice rest of the week,susi
