At last all my fabrics and supplies are out in the open after three years in a dark closet. Welcome to my new sewingroom!! I am tickled pink! These pictures were taken a while back, before my huge elevating sewingtable were in place.<br />

The old cupboard are in place. It was pure joy placing all my almost forgotten supplies back in it. By the way, the room is tidy now. Well, as tidy as a sewing room should be.<br />

I spent a whole weekend just feeling the fabric, working out in my head what to sew. I have ordered white fabric, now I just have to find time for some serious cutting. Daisy (my sewing machine) is eager to get started, she need a work out pretty soon!<br />

My plan is to make a Christmas cushion, so today I went shopping for the inside filling (what is it called in English I wonder?). I want to make a border, and as I have forbidden myself from buying any more fabric for a while it ment going through my own stash. Not the easiest job since my sewingroom is stuffed into one double closet.<br />

On our way down we had to make a pit stop, which I gladely suggested we did at Brokelandsheia. As I am the only quilter in the family no one else knew that Quilteloftet is situatede between gas stations and cafeterias on this tiny spot next to the E18. This nice lady helped me with a much needed vacation project. I bought Christmas Treasures Wreath from Rosalie Quinlan, and the lady in the shop kindly cut and ironed on the fusible interfacing.<br />

In between bathing, excursions and eating with dear kids and darling J. I found time to do some stitching, testing out my new glasses (yes, I have reached the age where I find it difficult to thread the needle, there you have it :)<br />

Have fun sewing!<br />

The last few weeks I`ve got the urge to get on with this project again, and now I have only four tiny hearts to applique before all the nine blocks are ready to be sewn together! I prefer to use freezing paper. This quilt shows my journey as a quilter. As the years went by my tecniques got way better. I hope to get the top done this weekend.<br />

<br />I found this little treasure at a fleamarked a while back. A lovely tablecloth, lying on the ground under a table, waiting for a trained quilters eye to spot it :) The border was a thick furniturefabric or curtain. Useless as borderfabric, so off it went. There was no batting inside either. I hope to find a borderfabric that goes with the other fabrics. I am thinking something floral with a white background. Any ideas?<br />

During my vacation this summer I went through some of my quilt stash, now stored in big plastic boxes in a dark closet (I really miss having a sewingroom). Hidden away amongst other numerous UFO`s I found this top that I made oh so many years ago. My plan is to complete the quilt, starting this weekend. I wanted to start earlier, but my knees are just about painfree after running the Oslo Marathon (42 km, yup, I did it!) last month.<br />
<br />
The quilt is for my youngest, he wants a new quilt and has wanted one for some time :)<br />
<br />
Have fun quilting!<br />

I haven`t done a lot of sewing lately, but I am learning how to knit (believe it or not). I have just finished my first ever sweather, now I just have to sew it together. How hard can that be?<br />

Have fun sewing!<br />
