Starting this post with a welcome to a new member: Karrin. Do feel welcome!

Trodde jag skulle ha detta täcke färdigt till idag, men så blev inte fallet. Jag fick lov att sprätta upp en söm och sedan gick symaskinen sönder. Inte så kul. Nu måste jag använda min gamla IKEA symaskin och jag vet inte om den klarar tjockare sömmar. Har inte provat än.
I meant to have this quilt finished by today, but it didn´t happen. First I had to rip a seam and then the sewing machine broke down. Not funny at all. So now I have to sew on my old IKEA sewing machine and I´m not sure I can sew these thicker seams on it. Haven´t tried yet.

Efter ett tips från Jean i denna grupp, har jag börjat på ett projekt, där en syr en tygbok. 20 sidor totalt under 100 dagar, så en syr på samma sida i 5 dagar. Vissa utmaningar kan jag helt enkelt inte stå emot och detta var en sådan. Jag använder tygbitar och överblivna broderigarner, min bok ska mest handla om olika broderistygn. Ann Wood står för idén till denna utmaning.
I got a tip from Jean in this group and have started on a project. You make a fabric book, creating 20 pages in 100 days. That is 5 days for each page. There are challenges I can´t resist and this was one of them. I´m using scraps, both fabrics and yarn, I want my book to be about different embroidery stitches. Ann Wood is the woman behind this idea.
Min vän Kate i Australien och jag bestämde en gång att den 15:e varje månad skulle vi ägna åt att visa upp våra scrap projekt på våra bloggar. Vi är nu en ganska stor grupp, alla sysslar inte med tyg, alla skriver inte varje månad, men någon gång per år vore det roligt att läsa om era projekt. Vill du vara med, så skriv så i kommentaren eller kontakta Kate (första namnet på listan här nedanför). Listan innehåller namn och länkar till alla medlemmar i denna grupp!
My friend Kate in Australia and I decided long time ago that the 15th every month is a good day to post about our scrappy project on our blogs.

Just say so in the comment or contact Kate (first name on the list below). The list contains names and links to all the members i n this group!

Oh dear, what a bad time for the sewing machine to stop! I hope it comes back from the shop better than ever! The quilt looks amazing, and the beginnings of the book also. I am so glad you and Kate started Scrap Happy!

The quilt is beautiful — I especially like the way that the fabric with the blue diamonds reappears in so many places. The stitch book looks like fun, too!

How disappointing for your machine to take a vacation. Your book pages are fun looking. Thanks for the warm welcome!

Thank you! We have a an excellent shop in Uppsala, that is doing magic with broken sewing machines 🙂

I hope your machine copes ok! I love Ann’s method of constructing the book. Very intriguing. And yes I’d love to join the group too. Not always working in scraps but often enough for a few posts.
