Shopping my stash

I was just thinking of buying some more brigth red's when I remembered my stash under my DD's bed. Well - I went upstairs - and look what I found - just what I needed for my next black/white quilt, and the reds I thougth I was out of.




I still have way to many dark reds - if somebody had a good idea about how to use them up - please tell me.

And the red/beige stripes are almost to an end - and I am kind of bored about them now.

In the middle of the nigth

I couldn't sleep - so went downstairs and cutted some fabrics for the red table-runner

Scrap-reducing

My scrap boxes of 1.5 inches wide and 2" wide strips were more than full - lids difficult to put on. So I had to do something about it. Yesterday I made this top -

and today I have started on the wider red stipes

Jungle mambo 1 and 2

Just finished two class models from a class I gave many years ago - teaching Ricky Timms way of cutting and sewing. Finally got borders on, and quilted and bind these two during the last week.









I also quilted a small charity blanket for a friend




and finished the last two of the four snowman-tablemats

Super-bowl mystery quilt

Two weeks abo I participated in a mystery-quilt. And here comes the result.
My time it started 4.pm so it became a late nigth. The lucky girls over there got it from the morning the same sunday.
I didn't follow the fabric requested, only used already cutted strips og fabrics. After I finished all the blocks I figured out they would look nicer with an extra round added - so I did. the following pictures show the original layout, and my finished quilt-top in the last one, with some samples of layout in the middle.

in progress

I had a nice sewingday together with a friend yesterday, and we both started working on strawberry-tablerunners. After she left I even picked fabrics for another one - in only greens.



We took a look at a bed-quilt I am making, an thet lead me into trying to get a step further on that one today. I finished a few blocks and laid them out on my floor. Better put them together before anybody mixes them ut for me.



Last nigth I finished the hand-work on a block for the BOM "angels among us"




A few days ago I finished this sheep-stitchery - don't know what it is going to be yet.

Jungle all over

I discovered this ufo a few days ago - and now I have putted borders on it
and made it ready for quilting.

And the two first (of 4) snowman-tablemats are done. hand applique, shell buttons and machine quilted. Pattern by AnnAKa.

Finished my Advent table topper a few days ago.

A step forward again

Well - havent been sewing much lately - rather showeling snow.
This years first finish is a bag made from two leftower block for another bag - started app 2001.

Some of my UFO's has got some stitches
the BOM is almost finished, handquilting around the flowers on the middle part is still left to do.


The snowman placemats - two are quilted and ready to bind, the last two still has a lot off applique left.

And today I found an oldie in a drawer, and made some pinwheel-borders on it to change the format from landscape to portrait.

Mega Quilter II

Just had to share some more pictures. I quilted my woopsie-daisy-quilt today - only the backgrounds in the middle, the borders I will hand-quilt.

happy new year

It is now 2007 - the year of the possibilities - to do all the things we want to do.
So I have started teaching myself to use my new mega-quilter


Also have to share with you the most beautiful "wrong side" of a quilt I have ever seen - made of an elderly lady for charity.

And I have finally joined the parts of the woopsie-daysy-quilt - some more applique and embroidery to do before quilting
