It hasn't been much quilting lately. On saturday i participated in a marked here in town, but didn't have any luck in trying to sell anything
On sunday we went for a nice walk in the forest, had pretty good weather, and a nice grilled dinner on the veranda (2.this year)
worked till almost tvelve in the nigth. monday just disappeared - well i biked to work and back, had a lot of trim, and went to a quiltmeeting, and some shopping afterwards. Today - pretty good weather - heavy day at work, some gardening, driving kids and shopping and for now some work to be done.
When will i find time to quilt again? for sure i will pack a stitchery in my suitcase for the vacation, but i am not sure if i will need it....
Have a nice day - sorry for no pictures today

Tuesday
Think I will need some help with this one. The pattern is for a small wall-hanging - with only a border around. I want to make it bigger.
Trenger litt hjelp med denne - mønsteret er til ett lite veggbilde, med kun en brun kant rundt. Jeg lurer litt på å lage trekanter av de stoffene jeg har funnet fram, og så sette dem på oppe og nede så det blir stort nok til ett vognteppe. Andre forslag mottas med takk
This flower is from my grandmas garden,
and has stayed with me for app 10 years,
remaining me of her.
Løyntnantshjerter fra min mormors hage,
disse lever nå i beste velgående hos meg,på tiende året.
Started this day on the bike, and of cause had to take the same ride up all the hills on the way back home. After that I did some gardening for 2 hours, had dinner, and now I have started another cat. I have also cleaned up a bit in my sewing room. Sitting here waiting for blogger to upload pictures, having a nice glass of wine.
The apple tree is in full bloom now, just wanted to share a picture

will try in english this time
Long time - no writing. Has been a busy week , long days at work, and a lot of meetings in the afternoons ===> no sewing. Today it is saturday, and nice sewing weather (cold and raining outsides)
I have been doing some re-sewing , had to take off the border fabric on this one and add another one that i found in a drawer yesterday. It just looked so much better.I have also worked a bit more on my appliqué and on my lemon -tablerunner. The one with the apples was finished yesterday.

ny runde utendørs
Sønnen kom hjem i dag, så da fikk jeg overtalt ham til en times tid ute i hagen. Vi driver med ett byggeprosjekt, men byggherren måtte reise på jobb rett etter at grunnmuren var kommet opp. Så nå er jobben til oss hjemmeværende (mest meg) å fylle inntil muren. Bare så dumt at gravemaskina hadde planert all jorda utover, og langt ned på naboens plen, og deretter stampa den godt fast. Så nå har vi hakka og spadd og lempa stein og kommet ganske langt nedpå muren.

vasking av stoff?
Bare ett lite bilde for å vise at også quiltestoffer avgir farve. Alle de gule stoffene , og bakstykket, er vasket på forhånd Men de små restebitene som 4-patchene er sydd av var nok for det meste uvaska. Så putta jeg hele teppet i maskina i går, på 40 grader, i lag med den color-catcheren som ligger under her på bildet. Den var hvit på forhånd. Så jeg kommmer nok til å fortsette med å vaske stoffene på forhånd, samt å hive med en color-catcher i vasken på nye quilter.
Color catcher washed together with the quilt shown below the quilt. Almost all fabrics were pre-washed, except the small parts in the 4-patches
syplaner framover
