Meeting Leanne

I went downtown this afternoon - to meet Leanne and hear her "trunkshow". Sure got a lot of vitamin Q's. It it getting late - so only a few pictures for today.

Santa Trio - 2.nd version

In this one I have combined the Santa from this pattern with the wall-hanging idea from this pattern - both of them from Disa Design

Christmas is coming closer

Class inspiration

After the class I gave last week I just had to start another quilt in the same pattern. I have tried out two different backgrounds for the same blocks.

October progress

Did some clean-up in my box of embroidery-floss












Second out of three stitcheries finished.










Preparing for mounting first stitchery







And first block out of three finished - only lacks some embellisments - which have to wait until after quilting.

On the snowman collector i have made all 16 threes, cutted fabric for borders, and appliqued 5 out of 19 letters

Preparing for x-mas

I found two new patterns the other day , and had to start one of them right away. Three penguins...


On the snowman quilt I have made a few more trees, and sewed around 4 lettera all together. Many to go...

No sewing yesterday

Yesterday I had some errands to do, and did start prepare the garden for the winter. We had a lovely weather - so had to take advantage of that. Look what I found outsides - and it is October! First picture taken on sunday - in front of my house

Second one Tuesday - same three - poor little thing - lost all it's leaves.


A very few flowers still alive.



And Stravberries - wild ones - and the were really sweet and much bigger than I ever saw them before.

In the evening I gave a quilt class - here is my model:

So I supposed most of the ladies wanted this color combination too - but look what happened:


This is only half of them - and only one made it in red. I look forward to meet them next time and look how this journey goes on. Hopefully I will remember to bring my camera then too.

Projects for October

Inspired from Hanne I have noe digged out 5 projects to work on in October.
I have the same old snowman collector as her to work on,






some stitcheries


one quilt to be quilted - this one
one new project - a birthday-gift - secret one....


and the brown x-mas quilt.

Just started a few hours ago - so now I have gotten the snowmen out of the drawer and started to cut borders for them, and letters, and made one tree (out of 15)

Bag-sewing weekend

I took a class this weekend , and made two bags. The first one is the biggest and most complicated one. I used the whole saturday to make all the pockets for that one - stitchery was made long ago. And the teacher was Anne Pia Godske Rasmussen from Denmark. She is a very good teacher, and I think all we ladies (19 of us) learned a lot.
