The patchwork room. A photo session with the quilts.

I knew that my product photographs are rather dull and poor in places. But there is always such a rush that redoing something gets overshadowed by things that are more urgent still.
I took great encouragement from the pictures taken recently with Mathias and Carolin, which I keep looking at with pleasure. And today I decided to make somewhat brighter pictures of the quilts sitting in the Etsy shop. The result surprised even me, and I decided to share these pictures with you as well.
I currently have three large quilts on sale in the Etsy shop, and here are the new photographs.

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.
