The patchwork room. A photo session with Mathias

Picture

Yesterday the little man had a two hour photo session with my patchwork, the wall hangings made for children that have been waiting on the shelf since the winter to be photographed and listed in the Etsy shop.
For 2 hours the boy did not leave the wall where I was setting up the quilts one after another and clicking away. He simply found it so exciting.
A few more days until the product descriptions are translated, and then I will upload the pictures as well.

The quilts are splendid, and the little man playing with them even more so.
For now, though, it is still aprons and kannel bags under the machine.
Pictures of the "7 suns" wall hangings can be seen on the page "Portfolio, patchwork hangings and sets".
The quilts are on sale in this site's Liisula web shop and also in my Etsy shop.

Violin case repair

Last school year, I repaired my grandchild's violin case. The loops meant for attaching the backpack straps had torn off. She cycles to school, and it’s impossible to ride while holding the violin in your hand. Naturally, the violin and case—which belonged to the school—went back at the start of the summer. Now that the new school year has begun, she has been issued a school violin and case again, but this one is in even worse condition than last year's. So, I undertook the repair once more. This time, I decided to replace the entire back panel—including the piping—and cover the torn section at the end of the case with a leather patch. I used reflective tape for the top layer of the piping. The video condenses six hours of work into three minutes. If anyone finds themselves in need of a similar repair, I will be able to take on a few jobs starting in February 2027, and I can handle a few at a time during the summer break.
