Just this week I came across the Palette Builder 2. This cool app lets you upload pictures and it then creates a colour palette for you. And the best thing is that you can save the picture with that palette! Here are some of my favorite pictures & palettes of the last two weeks. I might … Continue reading »
See you later alligator!
Yeah, I know crocodiles are not alligators, but the blog title sure sounds more fun this way, right? (For those new to my blog: I have named a large chevron quilt ” The Croc” as I felt like it was going to eat me at one time and like I was wrestling a crocodile like one … Continue reading »
What to make (out) of it?
In my April to-do-list I hinted at some repair work on two paper piecing blocks! I worked very hard on four paper pieced bows a while back, before offering this pattern on Craftsy.

WIP Wednesday – almost done!
Here are the latest cat-free pictures of my baby-girl-bow-pillow. After finishing the FMQ on the front I have added two pieces of sturdy fabric to the back so you can insert a pillow form.
