In a Minute Ago
Blog post originally in Swedish, translated later when I decided to blog only in English here.
Learn Embroidery Stitches
At Sharon B’s In a minute ago you can find her blog and a very crazy page with a lot of embroidery stitcheslisted. In alphabetical order you can find all the most useful embroidery stitches, all linked to more information with a step-by-step-tutorial on how to sew them. Photos included, so there is a lot of inspiration there.
I want to learn all of these!
Updated link: Stitch Dictionary – in alphabetical order and with lots of images
Crazy Quilting
There you can also find Sharon’s quilt for Y2K (year 2000) called I dropped the Button Box. It is a crazy quilt with close up photography of all the 2001 blocks, filled with lace, buttons and all kinds of textile decoration. It is such a thrill to look at. I haven’t had time to look at all of the quilt blocks yet, but I know I will return to this site to enjoy it several times more. There’s also some more crazy quilting there too – a whole gallery of inspiration and embroidery with a lot of colors and different stitches! Yum!
I found another quilt site, this one from a woman in Germany called Claudia Hasenbach, who blog and whose handicraft I really like. She has, if I understood it right, designed fun patterns like one called Springtree – so beautiful! I would love to be able to sew something like that. Well, her entire page about spring is to my fancy. She is kind enough to share her patterns online, and a page where those that are using her patterns can share what they’ve made from her patterns, which seam like a smart idea to inspire others.

Do you have any tips for other craft sites or blogs feel free to let me know – I’m always looking for inspiration!
Det var hemskt roligt att titta p? alla bilderna vad fint det ser ut, nu blir man ju sugen att g?ra n?t nytt tokigt igen, vi f?r se vad det blir. Vart ska jag leta efter damen med de 200 bilderna p? sitt tokt?cke. Jag vill se dom ocks?.
Man blir verkligen inspirerad, forts?tt jobba Hanna
