Finally summer arrived! Here in Germany we have been waiting a long time. Accordingly the Summer Bird House is ready for moving in. It started as a small pattern for the 2009 summer swap and now it is a decorative wall hanging in my house. If you want to build a summer villa for your home too visit the pattern page.

In summer many quilters focus on other activities like gardening, barbecue, hiking - all things outside the house. And so do I. Sewing and computer work may pause for a while.

Nevertheless - the Magic Mushroom Garden is going to be completed: Spotted Mathilda is planted.

As announced from the very beginning of the project we will use a neat little trick to add the baby mushroom at Mathilda's side!

Here is the pattern.

Wee Tomcat

Participants in the cat quilt mission received this pattern as a thank-you. Even in future it will support the homeless cats at the animal shelter. The proceeds from purchase are fully designated for them.

So if you couldn't participate by sending in a cat quilt but would like to help you may do so by purchasing the Wee Tomcat pattern.
