The launch of the Patchwork Quilt 100 publication

The album "Patchwork Quilt 100. My Estonia today" was launched at the University of Tartu Library, with all 100 panels and their makers inside.

A homemade quilt frame

My quilts and a quilt frame I made myself, begun at an adult woodwork class: knobs turned one by one, slots cut and everything sanded by hand.

A present for the shelter dogs

The grandchildren's nursery is collecting Christmas presents for shelter dogs, so we sewed mats from fabric scraps together. Mathias chose the colours and cut the edges.

A portable changing mat. Plastic or cotton?

Every changing mat on offer is plastic, nylon or PVC and can only be wiped. So I made a washable one in linen, cotton wadding and flannel, with five pockets.

Who is the real beneficiary of a craft business?

A letter demanding data on my company's "real beneficiary". A micro business with one board member and no employees, so who exactly benefits here?

A waist bag for children

Why are children's waist bags on sale so big and bulky? A new model just large enough for money, a bank card and a phone, with a belt to go with it.

When a pet is bored, or mending horse rugs

What does your pet do when it is bored? Mine are hens. My daughter's horse, though, practises wriggling out of his rugs, so another pile of them came in for repair.

Baby quilts with bears

Another working day behind the machine gone before I noticed. No pattern would come, so it became small squares. How do you like a quilt this colourful?

Natural or synthetic material?

How far do you prefer natural materials? I cannot wear synthetics at all, which is why I put so much emphasis on the materials in my quilts.

A patchwork skirt and quilt from dress shirts (part 2)

Now the quilt: 240x240 cm to lay out so that every size of piece stretches and no two neighbouring colours quarrel. A memory quilt of the client's father.

A patchwork skirt and quilt from dress shirts (part 1)

A big bag of a client's dress shirts to become one skirt and one quilt. Step by step through the skirt: cutting, tapered panels, gathering and four hidden pockets.

Notebook covers, a special order

A wife wanted notebook covers for her husband's 9th wedding anniversary, with embroidery she commissioned herself. She measured his notebook in secret.
