Finished a X-mas present.....

from last X-mas :o) I only managed to finish the top in time for x-mas, wrapped it in nice x-mas paper and gave it away with a little note saying I had to get it back for quilting.

But then, my elbow started hurting :o/ I waited and waited, hoping it would be better so I could quilt the top. Its quilt big, so it would be heavy working with it.

I had it all in my head, how I should quilt it. But at last I had to face the fact that the elbow would take some time to heal. So I sent the top to a quilter who did the job for me. Got it back a couple of days ago. The quilter (Kaktus Quilts in Tananger) did a terrific job, quilting and binding it in under a week - amazing!!

It turned out a bit different than in my mind, but Im very pleased with it. And Im sure the new 'owners' will be aswell. Its on its way to them :o)

Some time ago I got a wallhanging from mamacjt (Carol), really cute. My 'little' one Oda (which is 13 and not so little anymore...) was very fascinated and wanted to try to applicate. I was only allowed to show her the techniques, she locked the door to my sewing room when she was working with it :o) Of course, I was very curious, and two days ago she was finished.

Im super-impressed! And she did it all by herself, the cutting, ironing, sewing - all of it!

Wishing you all a super-sunny, warm and relaxing holidays :o)  My blogging will be a bit on and off the next couple of weeks.

Jeg tar sjansen.... / Im pretty sure....

på at mottakeren av dette teppet ikke finner på å lese bloggen min, har ikke gjort det før ihvertfall...... Niesen min ønsket seg et teppe til den nye leiligheten deres, og valgte stoff, men ellers har jeg hatt frie tøyler :o) Blir nok en julepresang. Må bare få quiltet det, hun liker mye quilting så jeg får se hva jeg finner på. Cora ligger på yndlingsplassen sin, i vinduskarmen, hvor hun har utsikt utover hele Bergensdalen og helt til Askøy - full kontroll !!!

that the receiver of this quilt wont read my blog, or I really hope so - she usually dont..... My niece wanted a quilt for their new appartement, chose what fabrics to be used and the rest was up to me :o) Hope they will be happy when they get it for x-mas. I just have to quilt it. In the background Cora is in her favourite place, where she has full controll of what is happening outside !!


Så var og ventetiden på blokk nr 2 på LCQA over, og den ble slik, i to varianter. På den øverste har jeg snudd de mørke stoffene inn mot midten for de andre ble rett og slett for lik, men jeg tror ikke det gjør noe.

And finally the waiting for block no 2 in LCQA is over. This is how they look. I have changed the block on the top a bit, the dark colours are in the middle, because the other were too similar. But I dont think it matters.

Ha en flott dag, alle sammen! / Wishing you a wonderful day!
