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!

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 :-)
