What's up?

I just wonder
What is happening in my sewing-room
Look in my sink - this morning I found some cut'offs








And by my sewing-machine - some red,brown and cream fabrics already cutted into 3.5"










And on my cutting table
a whole bunch om prepared pieces








I just wonder
What is this going to be?






Something you have seen before?



Maybe...

A sheep turned up

A sheep turned up in my UFO'box the other day - telling me he wanted some green grass around him - well I had to do something aobut that and here he is.


In my garden rigth now:

You Belong in Spring

Optimistic, lively, and almost always happy with the world... You can truly appreciate the blooming nature of spring. Whether you're planting flowers or dyeing Easter eggs, spring is definitely your season!

What Season Are You?

Block of today

Just had to do some more on the new project
made up a few blocks to see how the result will be

Sewing all weekend

When you sew all weekend it is so nice to finish something, and also to start a new project.
I just couldn't keep my sewing-machine avay for these fabrics, had to start rigth away.

I finished this tablerunner and the two small purses today.

Visitors

This week has been a quilty week, with visitors from 560 km further south. It seems Trondheim has the best (and most) quiltshops in this country - so of course we had to go shopping. My guests managed to visit three shops down-town - me only two. Sorry I do not have any photos from the shop - they were on Hanne's camera

Hanne also wanted to try my mega-quilter, and Sigrun was pushed to try it. And then they pushed me to do a phanto-pattern for my first time.

stash-shopping

I have shopped my stash for this lovely fabrics - migth be someone could use a quilt in these colors some time.

And when looking through a magazine from last year I found some more inspiration, and had to pick another bunch of fabric - yes a few of them are leftovrs from the kit above

And some guessing about the rest




solved the clue

Finished and gave my father his lap_quilt the other day

I found this lovely flowers in my kitchen when I came home today - thanks a lot to Sigrun, Marit and Hanne - did you know sunflowers are my favorite?


And my guests made me do my first pantho on the mega-quilter the other day too




This weekend I am participating a mysteri-quilt at stashbusters - these are my fabrics for this one.

Back from vacation

After almost two weeks of rain, it is so good to be back home.
I visited 7 quiltshops during out trip - but didn't buy much. A few quilt-stencils, thread, a few fabrics, and some patterns and magazines, and a nice knitted scarf in wool.

We have used this last few days to do some gardening and painting outsides. Now I am all by myself - and back in the quilting-business.
I have loaded the red-brown-cream lap-quilt into my inspira-frame today (finished the top yesterday, pattern Lise Bergene)


The owl-table-runner (pattern AnnAKa) is now quilted - still lacks some leaves and embroidery




And two table-toppers are on their way towards the end.
Here is one of them, I had to make it a bit bigger than the pattern.



And the original, pattern bougth at "Syskrinet Heimdal"

Weekend retreat

There is a virtual retreat going on on stashbuster this weekend. I decided to go on with the red-cream-brown quilt from last post, it has now grown, and will be bigger than I first intended it to be - a table-cloth - now it's going to be a lap-quilt, and I had to cut some more red's this morning.a whole box full of red and cream precuts (size 3.5") is almost to its end. And that feels so good.


I have also prepared some hand-applique to bring with me outsides now in the summer. The pattern is from the norwegian designer AnnAKa
