Color Explosion part one

Today I finished sewing together the blocks for the Color Explosion Quilt. I never stop wondering how it is that even though I am as thorough as can be, the sizes of the blocks always varies a bit. Hm!!


( I need a better camera, time to upgrade my phone I guess). Well, the top is off to meet the magic hands of LeKaQuilt, I can't wait for part two of this project! 

Have fun sewing!

Color Explosion

This is a project I am sewing together with my sister in spirit, LeKa Quilt. The quilt is a gift to handicaped children living at Austjord (a institution in our community). 


The quilt is a explosion of colors and contrasts. Finally I found a use for my old Jinny Beyer fabrics.


The accent fabric is black. This is a rehearsel in using fabrics way out of my comfort zone, I need to sew something really cute and pretty after this quilt lol.

Have fun sewing!

Twin table runner

My darling J and myself enjoy making our new home together, and painting old pine furniture is one of many tasks on our agenda. 


It is amazing what paint can do, don't you think? J asked me the other day "wouldn't it be nice if you made some table runners?" Who am I to say no??? 


I don't have much time to quilt these days, but I managed to make two small tablerunners using a very simple pattern. And now that I have learned not to hose down the fabric I am getting really into glue basting.

Have fun sewing!

A cute little finish

I really wanted to get started on three table clothes today, but my head and body was not up for it after getting almost no sleep last night due to tummy ache.



I found a little handsewed block in my UFO pile that I made years ago. I made this little quilt in no time, is it not cute? It makes me want to put on a cute repro apron (don't have it) and start making some cup cakes!

Have fun sewing!

The Vases of Flowers Wall Quilt

Finally the summer has arrived, and we are enjoing the sun and hot temparatures. We are doing a makeover in our gardenroom (is that the correct name for it?)


I plan to fill one of the walls with this gorgeous wall quilt from the book Floral Bouquet Quilts by Yoko Saito. I am working on the Januar block. Every stitch will be by hand.

 
This is the wiew I woke up to early this morning. Beautiful sky and the birds singing.

Have fun sewing!
