Astrid? More like Ast-red.

There's a little bit of red in everything I do. My granddad once told me that every work of art needs a spot of red in it, and I believe that whole-heateredly. And because I can't pull off red lipstick, I wear red trousers.

I've been sewing for about four years, ever since my mother-in-law let me borrow Grendal, the Mean Green Sewing Machine. Grendal has happily been replaced by a machine that can sew in a straight line, and now here I am, in love with patchwork and modern, geometric quilts. Lots of white, limited colour palettes. This year, I've discovered wonky stars and can't get enough.

Thanks for being here -- I hope you'll say hello!
