And today in front of the news on TV I finished this one

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.

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.

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.
