Orange Crush

Almost a year ago Bonnie
at www.quiltville.com
organized a mysterie quilt.
The mysterie was
called Orange Crush, and
as always her quilts give
you a chance to use scraps.
I thought this was a good
opportunity to reduce my

pile of scraps and old fabrics.
I manage to keep up with this
mysterie quilt until step 4,
but after that life intervened
and I fell behind!
Last Sunday I pulled it out from
the pile of UFOs, and am now trying
to get my head around it again.
But due to illness and work commitments,
I haven't made much progress since then. Now I will make
another attempt and on that note I'll get started.

Yippii

Yes, I did it.

I reached my goal for today :-)

I have yet to decide what my

next project will be. All I know

is that I have plenty of

UFOs/WISPs to choose from!

Saturday morning

Yesterday I found these
table runners among my
Ufos. This is a mystery
from 2005 on a list I'm
a member of and I think
the designer is Merete.
I think I first thought
to make 4 place mats,
but in the end I ended up
making 2 table runners instead. It's actually not that
much work left; I just have to decide how to quilt them
and choose the of colour of the binding.
Hopefully, I'll be able cross them off my UFO list
by the end of today :-)

#4

This square has been in the
cupboard for years. I think it
was meant as a start for a
wallhanging.
A few days ago I decided to
use it for a baby quilt instead.



Here is the result and UFO # 4 is
done. Finally! :-)

Two UFOs finished

In 2007 I bought fabrics

and pattern for a

tablecloth and a table

runner from

Quiltekroken.

Kari R. Ytterdal has design

it. The pattern is simple, but

I felt in love with the spring

colours.The table cloth top was sewn

more than a year ago, and the

pieces for the table runner were all cut.

Now it's done, and I'll find

another UFO to work on.

Have a nice weekend!

Sigrun is having a challenge.

WISP #1 finished

One WISP done.
The cushion didn't take too
long to finish. I have used
variegated coloured tread for the
embroidery; not so easy to see
the stitches with the lightest
colour on the photo.

UFOs / WISPs

Yesterday I picked up some
of my UFOs and WISPs that
I hope to finish during the
coming months.
The Tilda Stitchery is hardly
started.

This embroidery I started
at Christmas. May be this
will be the first project I'll
finish.

The last photo shows:
A little wallhanging that
only needs a butterfly to
be appliqued before quilting.
A finished table cloth top,
and some blue squares that
have been in the cupboard
for years.
I guess I just should get
started now :-)

Challenge

I have just signed up for a
"One Project a Month Challenge"
that May Britt and Kris are hosting.

I have many UFOs, WISPs and
"old" patterns/kits, so I hope this
challenge will motivate me to reduce
the number.
Now I have to decide
which one to start with.

Have a nice day!

Giveaway

Elin is having a Giveaway, so take a look at her blog.

2009

Happy New Year!

I have started the new year by joining

"Pay It Forward ! with Marc

I guess many of you know the rules;

anyway I have to write them here.

Three people join in my PIF.
I must send a hand made gift to the 3 people

on my list within 365 days.
In turn, the 3 people who have joined my

PIF must also host their own and ask for

3 people to join. They too have to send a

handmade gift to the three players within a year.
There is no set time to send the gifts,

so long as they are sent within 365 days of hosting your PIF.
Please leave me a comment if you'd be interested in playing.
