Sunflower quilt and mailbox surprise

Finally - the sunflower quilt is DONE!. Started back in september 2005 - pattern form this magazine's september number
Seems it's still available as a back-issue

Endelig ble solsikkequilten ferdig. Håndapplikert etter mønster i ovennevnte blad - septembernr. Den ble pågeynt i september 2005 og har vært en skikkelig "seig en" å få has på.

I won! Wow - look what I got in the mail today - a giweaway at LEKAquilt a few days ago. Thank you so much Lena!

Jeg vant! Se på de nydelige stoffene jeg fikk i posten fra Lena på LEKA-quilt i dag. Hun hadde en giweaway for noen få dager siden. Tusen takk Lena!
And some goodies I ordered fraom Desiree's Lappeteknikk a few days ago.
Og så litt godteri som jeg bestilte med fra Desiree's Lappeteknikk for ett par dager siden.

What I have been doing lately

I have quilted an oldie, and done some sewing on the angel's basket BOM
and washed some fabrics.

And - OBS: - this fabric wouldn't stop bleeding -take a look at the waters color - the fabric is black!


By the way - Julie is having a nice giveavay - so pop over and say hello to her.

Inspiration?

Can you get some inspiration of a picture and a few napkins'? I belive so.
Kan man få inspirasjon av ett bilde og noen servietter? Jeg tror det.

Angel sewing basket - planning

After stitching two of the blocks - I found out it was time to start planning which fabrics to use. I digged out all my japanese fabrics , and came out with these color suggestions

Mail-surprise

In my mailboks a few days ago I found this lovely little goodies. Thanks a lot Wenche.

I posten for ett par dager siden fant jeg denne flotte UFOpremien. Tusen takk Wenche. Vi har hatt UFO'sying på Quiltskandinavia i årest fire første måneder, og her er premien min. Gleder meg til å lage noe med den flotte "gule" damen - må bare få ferdig ett par UFO'er til først.

Pot-holders

I made these potholders for my brothers new kitchen. It is in "caffe latte" and red. He was very pleased with the result.

Jeg lagde disse gryteklutene til min brors nye kjøkken. Det er malt rødt og caffe latte. Han ble veldig fornøyd med resultatet.

Time to do some clean up - på tide å rydde litt?
I appliqued these flowers on a really old ufo yesterday. Now it's ready for quilting.

Jeg applikerte disse to blomstene i går - frysepapirmetoden. Jeg synes det gir mye mere liv til arbeidene med slik applikasjon enn med knapphullsapplikasjon, selv om det er den siste metoden jeg har brukt mest de seneste årene. Nå er denne eldgamle ufo'en klar for quilting

Huge "stitching" project

Think I will have to slow down on my patchworking for a while - if i shall be able to finish this huge stitching project before february next year.


After three hours of sewing...

after three long evenings - all done at the cabin during easter time.

Uff da!

I was only supposed to buy some snap fasternes( trykk-knapper) and some hooks (hekter) for my dd2's bunad. And wops - a lot of fabrics jumped into my shopping basket!

A small one

After all this finishes lately, and a lof of quilting on other peoples quilts, it's time to do something else. So yesterday I cleaned up my sewing-room, stacked a lot of "homemade" kits into my cupboard and found a bag of 1.5" strips.




So today - log cabin....

Last finishes for April

After reading May-Britts blog i remembered I had to show the last finishes for april
well here they are - two of them finished last nigth the other one a few days ago. Both quilts are for charity -
