Carpe Diem Mini Art Quilt |
She adds, “My name is Kajsa Wikman, I am a mother of two and I run a small business called syko (based in Turku, Finland). I sell my creations in my etsy shop http://syko.etsy.com. I have gone through a long process of allowing myself to change careers to become a full-time crafter, a long-time dream. The bird quilts (I made a few in the same spirit) are reflections of this. But I guess most of us need to remind ourselves every now and then to seize the day.”

She always does such creative mini-quilts!
Really cool. I’m not very into quilts myself, but this spin off really speaks to me.
So fun!
I love the white on white.
Love, love, LOVE this one!
This quilt is so cute.
Wow.. another beautiful mini- quilt to fall in love with!
It’s stunning, but all Kajsa’s work is. I’ve been reading her blog for a while and it’s always full of wonderful crafting.

I love all her work. Glad to see her featured!

Really beautiful! She must have some talent to write freehand with the machine!!

Oh my gosh, this is one of my favorite things EVER. It’s wonderful. I can’t wait to spend some time looking at more of her work.
Tooo cute!
I love the quilting on this one! Tells the whole story.
Very sweet bird. I like the interview with her, esp. her appreciation for vintage textiles.
This is such an adorable quilt! i love the idea of making small pieces, this is so great!
Just delightful!
“…I guess most of us need to remind ourselves every now and then to seize the day.” Very True!
Absolutely remarkable. Wish this one was in the shop!
I think this is my favorite quilt posted so far! Love it!!
This is a beautiful piece! I do so love that you work with things that had a former life and give them a new one-I tend to do that a lot, too. So happy that you are successful in being a fulltime crafter-you encourage me!
What a cute quilt! The bird is adorable.
Different whimsical quilt – love the little red birdie.
Very cute!
Wow! So many beautiful quilts
i can’t believe she sewed the cage by machine!
Not only talented, but also a smart woman!
So cute! Love the little birdie and the newsprint fabric. And the freehand stitching…Wow…I’ve tried that before and it’s not easy to do! Very impressive.
What a great quilt! I love to see how the art form of quilting has changed.
that is soooo cool! i love the written fabric and love love love how the quilting looks like the path of a bird flying. Love this one!
I love the little birdy!!
Kajsa’s blog is inspirational, I check it frequently. I am so glad that you featured some of her work here. She is extremely talented!
So sweet!
Just beautiful.
Love all the mixing of techniques…embroidery, quilting, etc. so neat.
Lovely red bird!
Oh how lovely! One of my favourites so far!!
Your work is wonderful. I checked your blog also. thanks for sharing.
This is such a creative little quilt. Love it! Thanks so much for sharing.
It’s delightful! I love that bird – and to think that you did so much of it freehand. That’s a gift!
So fantastic!! And do check out her blog: such fun & wonderful work!!
So creative and so talented!
This is really beautiful. I love it.
Beautiful!
I had experimented in the past with freehand writing, but this little quilt is fabulous. I suppose it takes a lot of practice to write with your machine ;o)
Great quilt!
This is absolutely stunning. So inspiring!
Thank you for sharing with us. I love your bird quilts. So sweet. I also love the fabric in the bottom left corner of Carpe Diem. Collecting fabric with text is a hobby of mine, but I never know how to use it in a quilt.
This is absolutely lovely!
what a cute little bird! its always refreshing for me to be reminded that quilting doesn’t have to be just straight lines…
I’m totally in love with Kajsa’s work! Wonderful to see it on your blog today!
Love the little bird!
Wow — Beautiful quilt! I love art quilts, and your’s is simply wonderful — I may have to try one like it!
“The cage and text is done freehand by machine” WOW! Talk about talent! I think if I tried to freehand anything with my machine, it would turn into a mess of crooked lines that resembled… well, a mess of crooked lines. Gorgeous- love her idea here with the free bird.
Quilting gone “green”…everyday I am being inspired to think outside the box…Thanks!
Beautiful…I love the items in her shop!
WOW! I’m amzed that the cage and words are done freehand by machine. Adorable!
I love the idea of using vintage linens and the birdie is too adorable.
So simple and so elegant! I love it! Happy Valentine’s Day!
I love(!!) this one!
