Blue and green sunday morning

One hour of sewing this sunday morning, resulted in this quilt-layout.
And some more blocks on the green quilt sewntogether two and two
And the green-pink quyilt-top only needs one more seam.

Hidden treasures

For some days now I have been looking around for a project I started earlier this year - to get rid of some scraps. Finally, today I found it - I had hidden the pieces in this colorful box.





All pieces precut, so I just had to start sewing. I just felt like doing some other colors today after all the green pieces lately.

Back in the sewing-room again

With a stormy weather outsides there is not much else to do on a Saturday than sew.
Originally I had other things I should be working on , but this two projects was on my sewing-table. first one is a big 9-patch, other one is Mary's green 4-patch. I am not sure how to join the blocks - have two settings here, another on on my mind - but camera ran out of battery.

Wednesdays are yellow

Yesterday we headed south - to the Røros-area. Had to do some checking on the cabin being built, and after that we went for a walk. And that for sure gave me a lot of extra work. We came hoe around 9:15 p.m bringing 9 KILO's of chantarelle's. They had grown on sand-bottom - so it seems I will have to wash them before preparing them for the freezer. And since the freezer is FULL we have to go out an buy a new one. We have been talking about that for years - but never gone into action before, it always gets more than full in the autumn, with fish, berries, mushrooms etc, and for sure it is too bad not to have the possibility to take care of these goodies. So there will be no sewing today, have to clean a spot for the new freezer, and also finish preparing the last 4 kilos of chantarelle's
And guess I will have the same dream this nigth as last nigth - Yellow Chantarelle's everywhere....
Have a nice day.

Some more green

A small purse was birth last nigth
as a birthday-gift for a small friend. Except from that - the evening was spendt in the garden - refreshing the flower-beds- getting rid of old plants and taking care of the apple-tree

A weekend full of fish

This weekend we headed up north - app. 5 hours driving from here to visit with relatives. One of them had a fishing-boad - and took us fishing twice. That was so fun and we got a lot of nice fish - which are now prepared for dinner, resting in my freezer. We had cod today, from the big one I am holding in first photo. Sorry to say- but I did not catch that one. Photo no 3 is the smallest fish i got - had to release that one. And in hte middle of the box is "a holy mackrel"

On our way north we stopped at Bunadsaum in Inderøy , to look for a national costume for DH. He havent decided about it yet- it's pure wool, handmade by tailors, and costs a fortune. Isn't he handsome in this costume?

Tuesday's maybe red

Or pink or yellow or orange - I don't know for sure. Only thing I know is I finally finished this top

Monday's might be blue

Just like this quilt - Monday's might be blue. This one is made of some leftover bow-tie-blocks, a lot of 4-patches made from my precutted scraps, and some tan 6.5" fabrics from a swap. So now I just wonder - what will be the color of tomorrow?

Today was green

This morning - before I had to go to work I joined some pieces from my green box. Insired by Bonnie Hunters many scrap-quilts, and Mary's green quilt

And now - late afternoon, I have prepared some more blocks for my pink/green quilt, only two more needs to be made up. after that I am ready to start putting the blocks together

Friday we all went to Surnadal - to pick up DD2 at a summercamp for TaeKwon-Do
And we had dinner together with Ildri and Hanne and her family afterwards.

Yesterday I met with a quilt-buddie from sweeden

Huff da

First I once again have to show my favorite flowers, just like I remember them from my grandmothers garden



Sorry to say - I fell off the waggon again, on my way home yesterday I dropped into the quiltshop to take a photo, and when I was on my way out again, my eyes spottet a basket full of scrap-bags. Some of them really cheap and very interesting. So 5 of those came home with me - 2.7 kilos of fabric, that should be app 25 meters. They are now all washed, and ironed and some are cut int proper widths for my scrap-boxes, a lot of greens are in one bag - waiting to be a table-runner - something like the hen-tablecloth.

And here is my mysteri-quilt - waiting for it's binding-fabric to come from Denmark -Thanks Anna Marie for helping me. And the batic'quilt, waiting for some more borders.
