Several ways of finishing

All though there is lots to be finished before Christmas, I have completed two major tasks this week which allows me to lower my shoulders a bit :). I made it through my exam in project management -  and I was rewarded with an

A!!!!

The result is very inspiering (forgetting all the frustration), and I might just take another subject next year.

I have also finished the Goodbye Quilt for my colleague. I forced myself to free motion quilt it, and it turned out quite nice if I may say.

I am no professional free motion quilter, so I need a lot more practise but at least I am on my way!

I am soon hosting another give away, so stay tuned!

Have fun sewing!

Busy weekend

This weekend has been really busy! It started on Friday watching the latest Twilight movie at the cinema. Yesterday and today I have painted half our hallway white (my sholder is sore) and I have managed to baste the Goodbye quilt. And almost finished the first book in the Twilight serie! Now I am eager to get to the gym, as soon as my husband and one of my sons get back from their fishing trip.

Have fun sewing!

Still working

Today I finished the top I started on last weekend. I have decided that this will be the Goodbye Quilt for our dear colleague. Tomorrow I will start collecting signatures from my other colleagues, and I will put these on the back of the quilt.

(Can you see the little doggie butt??) There will be no side borders on the quilt. I hope to start making the sandwich early next weekend, and maybe finish the quilting within next Sunday. I have a heep of other projects to finish before Christmas, so I better get on with it.

Have fun sewing!

Opening that layer cake

Yesterday I opened my newest layer cake, the Panier de Fleurs by French General. I am making a quilt from a pattern I found in  one of my recent book purchases (will show you later). As you know I am making another Goodbye Quilt for a dear colleague that is soon to retire. And I might just change my mind and give her this quilt instead. Time will tell.

Here you see one of the first blocks finished. The pattern is fun and easy. I will keep you posted about the progress.

Have fun sewing!
