Kit-making

A few days ago I bougth a new pattern for AnnAKa

And yesterday I digged out a lot of my japanese fabrics

Today I have cutted a lot if 2" strips, and a few squares

And made myself a "ready to go" kit for this lovely wall-hanging.

Ny BOM

Bloggers "Block of the month" started just a few days ago, so it is not too late to join - come and play along. Link to the BOM here.

For noen få dager siden startet bloggeres "blocks of the month" en ny blokk hver mnd, ny designer hver mnd. Se mere info her. Det er ikke for seint å slenge seg med.

Her er stoffene jeg har valgt + min blokk nr 1, hadde ikke noe lyst stoff fra Kaffe Fasett som passet til bakgrunn, så jeg tok ett annet jeg hadde i hylla mi. Spent på fortsettelsen, tror blokkene kommer rundt den 20 hver mnd om jeg ikke husker feil. Kom å bli med på leken da vel.

Mill girls challenge.

Pretty soon there will start another challenge in the yahoo-group called SBS and other Elm c

Creek quilts. Anne-Ida is hosting this one, se more in her blog

If you want to join the adress for the yahoo-group is here:

Here is my choice of fabrics. The quilt is called Mills Girls and is from one of the Elm Creek books. I am going to have white as my background fabric.

Sopptid-2

This is one of the original placemats from some years back - seems I got the new ones in the past post pretty much the same.

Last picking of Chanterelles? Some of them was broke due to frost so I guess the season is over.

Did sone quilting on a charityquilt for a friend of mine.


And some puzzeling on one of my own charity-quilts.

Sopptid

It is the time of year to pick mushrooms, or to sew them. I made some placemats for my mother, and now she wished for some more for her birthday. Luckily I found almost all the same fabrics as I used last time. So happy birthday mother

Det er tida for å plukke sopp, eller for å sy sopp. For noen år siden lagde jeg noen kuvertbrikker til min mor, og nå ønsket hun seg noen flere til bursdagen sin. Gratulerer med dagen mor!

Hvis mønsteret ser litt kjent ut så stemmer det. Bakgrunnen er sydd etter AnnAKa sitt mønster Senja som kom ut for mange år siden, jeg har bare bytta ut seilbåten med ett tre, og fiskene med sopp.

Tusen plommer

Tusen plommer er ferdig plukka, eller i hvert fall sydd,
og Røros-ufo#2 er ferdig
.
I just finished the purse from last post.


En venninne av meg leter etter dette stoffet, Nancy Halvorsen design , ca 2 år gammelt.

kan du hjelpe så sende meg en mail på " sa krøllalfa deneb.no "

Min bror har kjøpt seg broderimaskin,

her er bursdagsgaven min mellomste fikk for ett par dager siden.

Så gjenstår å se om hun tør gå på skolen i den.

My brother has got himself an embroidery-machine, and made the text on this sweatshirt for my daugthers birthday. The text says something like "mammys to be architect"

UFO-digging

I digged out a lot of UFO's the other day - 13 if I don't remember wrong.
On this one the only thing done was the ambroidery - now it's a step closer to beeing finished


Joined a lot of Debbie-Mumms to make a backing, taped it to the floor to make a sandwich

Ready to be quilted

Joined some more Debbie Mumms for another backing


And made a sandwichh of that one too

Layed out this one to see how many blocks I had to sew - well only one, and it is now done.

I love this UFO-challenges, gives me a really kick to finish some oldies..

And wile cleaning up my sewingroom yesterday I found some more - more about that in another post.

Quilt-meeting in Røros

Yesterday I attended a quilt-meeting in Røros for the first time. There was a lot of UFO's coming out of bags to be signed for the competition. I had only 13 here at the cabin.... By the one this one and the next one are not mine.


I går var jeg på quiltemøte på Røros for første gang. Kanskje på tide siden jeg har vært medlem i to år nå. Kveldens tema var UFO'er - jeg hadde BARE 13 stk her på hytta som jeg meldte på i konkurransen. Dette blågule (100 blokker) la vi sammen i løpet av kvelden. Dette og det over her er ikke mine.

Her er ett aksjonsteppe som jeg jobba med. Tror nok jeg skal fylle på mmed off-white innimellom pinwheel-blokkene - hvis ikke noen har ett bedre forslag da. Det ble alt for "bråkete" å sette dem helt inntil hverandre.

This is a charityquilt I am working on.

Rigth now I am working on a patched backing for one of my quilts.
Have digged out a lot of old Debbie Mumm-fabrics for this one.

Hope to make a sandwich this weekend.

I dag har jeg holdt på med ett bakstykke til ett av mine tepper. Her har jeg gravd fram masse gamle (ca 15 år?) DebbieMumm stoffer
