My husband took a really good photo of me and our little son, while I was trying to do some handquilting on Discovery. My little one just wanted to sit in mommy's lap, and watch Saturday morning cartoons on daddy's phone at the same time. I think we sat like that for over half an hour. Until he got bored and went to do something else, and I finally could quilt higher up on the frame than just directly in front of me and perhaps 15 cm from the bottom. The kantha stitched stars are coming along, slowly. I am debating how sane I thought this idea is, because it will take such an awful lot of time, but it will never the less look great. My drawn schematic of the star ship Discovery translated quite well into a quilting motif. The scale is just a tiny bit off, because the length of the long engine/warp system "fins" on it's sides. No, I have no idea what to really call them. I'm a biochemist, not a fictional space ship engineer. When yo...

Every single piece of fabric to make the qui...

The semi-official theme I've kinda chosen for my focus this year is  hand-sewing . Lots of American bloggers seem hard on having these "words of the year", but I think I'm gonna stick to my "crafting themes of the year" instead ;) ⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟⧟ August was both productive and stressful. There, I've written/said it, and it is true. Between my husband going on a short trip to Turku to meet friends, him going on business trip, the kids being at home because of the summer break from daycare and then us all going to a weekend holiday to Umeå in Sweden....and me trying to get as much preparatory school work and stuff done before September 1st - yeah, stressful at the least. I've been packing moving boxes with stuff for my study apartment i Turku, because I managed to get one. So our home office room is sporting an installation of brown cardboard boxes filled and half-filled. It stresses out my husband far more than me - because I decided I wi...
