I had a wonderful weekend together with quilting friends. Always lots of inspirations such days. Lovely bags, table runners and cushions were made. Some finished their work, others made a good progress. I'm very satisfied - the number of blocks has increased - but there's still many more to make. Saturday I got a mini Round Robin back. My block is in the upper left corner. I asked my friends "to give" me a flower, and here you can see the result. They have even made a fence in front of "my garden". Thanks a lot for the lovely work you all have done! Now I'll put on a border before quilting.April is almost at the end, and I haven't any finishes yet! This evening I have to find a little UFO which I hope to finish during the week.
Happy Quilting!

Meeting friends

I'm ready for meeting some quilting friends. We are going to sew together in an old school in the near. I haven't done a stitch since Monday, so my plan for the day is to make more Log Cabin blocks. Talk to you later :-) Have a nice, creative Saturday!

"Pay it forward"

It's a week since I posted about "Pay it forward"
Thank you very much to the three who wanted to participate:
Elyte
Laila
Dawn
Within 365 days you will have a little package from me in your letter box, so please send me your snail mail address.

The first blocks

for the Log Cabin quilt were done yesterday. I think I will get some sewing time today too. Have a nice day!

Sewing Saturday

The photo below tells that it wasn't much done last night. I was too tired after a long day. But today I'll make the first Log Cabin blocks. Many of the brown and cream fabrics are from my stash. I have joined the Stash Manicure Challenge, so I look forward to all the good advice reducing the piles. Back to the sewing machine.
Have a creative Saturday!

Friday Night Sew-in

I have been away the whole day, but now I'm ready for Friday Night Sew-in. I'm going to cut a lot of strips for a Log Cabin quilt. May be I'm able to start sewing a few blocks too. I look forward to see what everyone is working on.
Happy Quilting!

"Pay it forward"

Tidligere i vinter ble jeg trekt ut til å være med i "Pay it forward". Denne gang var det Sonja som skulle gi bort gaver. For noen dager siden lå det en spennende pakke i posten. Innholdet ser dere nedenfor; en morsom kanin med q-tips og flotte sokker. Tusen takk Sonja!

Earlier this winter Sonja had a "Pay it forward". A few days ago I received the package. Below you can see what I got. A cute rabbit and lovely socks. Thank you very much Sonja!

Nå er det min tur til å gi bort gaver. Av de som gir en kommentar på dette innlegget - og som er villige til å være med på "leken" - trekker jeg ut 3 stykker om ei uke. Jeg har 365 dager på meg til å sende avgårde pakke, men dere skal nok slippe å vente så lenge :-)

Now it's my turn to give away something. From those who give a comment on this post - and are willing to play the "game" - I will draw 3 names in a week. I have to send it before a year, but be sure - you won't have to wait that long :-)

Vinnerne / the winners

Det er tid for å avsløre hvem som vant i forbindelse med 2 års blogging. Jeg hadde alle navnene i en skål, og min mann fikk jobben med å trekke de 2 lappene.

It's time to tell who the winners of the give away are. I put all the names in a bowl, and DH picked the 2 paper pieces.Den første ble Quilt Hollow.

The first one was Quilt Hollow.Den hemmeige gaven går til Elin Synnøve.

The secret gift goes to Elin Synnøve.

Vinnerne må sende meg sin postadresse. Tusen takk til alle som deltok!

The winners have to send their snail mail adress. Thank you very much to all who participated!

Give away - no joke

The calender shows April 1st, but this is not an April's fool. If you have read my last post you know that I'm having a give away. Below is a sneak peak of one of the gifts. The other one is still a secret.

The drawing will take place Tuesday April 6th, so you still have plenty of time to join.

Happy Easter!
