Snømann i august / Snowman in August
Har hatt sytørke ei stund, men fredag tok jeg turen inn på syrommet. Der fant jeg fram gamle quilteblad. Mange mønster som frista, men måtte finne noe som ikke tokalt for lang tid. Det endte opp med Wenche Martinsens snømann fra et Quiltemagasin årgang 2006. Fargene er klarere enn bildet viser. Det vesle veggteppet er mitt augustbidrag i Narelles utfordring, og klart for å legges i julegaveboksen.
Friday I was looking through many old quilting magazine because I wanted to find a pattern that didn't take too long to make. In a Norwegian magazine from 2006 I found this snowman - designed by Wenche Martinsen. Tonight I have done the last stitches just in time for this month - Narelle's challenge. The colours of the photo isn't the best. The little wall hanging will now be in the "Christmas box" for some time.

To like / Two of the same
Lysten til å sy er fraværende for øyeblikket, derfor blir det strikking i stedet. Tenkte det kunne være kjekt at brødrene kunne ha på seg like gensere en gang i blant. Garnet er en blanding av 52% ull og 48% bomull - godt og mjukt å strikke av. Str. 2 og 4 år.
At the moment I don't find pleasure in sewing, so I'm knitting instead. Thought it might be nice for the two little boys to wear the same sweaters now and then. The yarn is a mix of wool and cotton, and it was very soft. Size 2 and 4 years.
Hope you all are fine!

Round Robin
Ting tar tid - i alle fall her i huset! I 2004 ble jeg med i ei Round Robin-gruppe med 6 deltakere fra Norge og Finland. Jeg sydde midtblokka og sendte den av gårde til den neste på lista. Å være med på slikt er jo både utfordrende og spennende. Quiltene til de som deltok var ulike både i farger og mønster.
Høsten 2005 kom pakken min tilbake, og spenningen var stor da jeg åpnet den. Jeg var veldig godt fornøyd med sluttresultatet! Da gjensto bare quilting og lukkekant. Vel, som dere skjønner ble den liggende i UFO-bunken :-(
Det ble Anne på Quiltestallen som quiltet den, og endelig har den funnet plassen sin på veggen!
Takk til dere som sydde!
In 2004 I joined a Round Robin group. We were 6 participants from Finland and Norway. I made my center block annd sent it to the next person of the list. The quilts were very different both in colours and patterns. So it's both challenging and exciting to do a RR.
In the Autumn 2005 I got my quilt top back, and I was very satisfied with the result. Now it was only to get the quilting and binding done.
Well, as you may have guessed - it has been in the pile of UFOs until recently :-(
The quilting is done by Anne at Quiltestallen. Finally the RR is on the wall!
Thank you to the ladies !
Ha en finfin dag! Have a nice day!

Småting / A few little things
Vi er kommet til siste dag i denne måneden. Juliværet har vært varierende, men har likevel hatt flotte dager sammen med barn, barnebarn og andre sommergjester. På handarbeidsfronten har det ikke vært så stor aktivitet, men noen småting er blitt strikket/sydd.
It's the last day of July. The weather this month has been variably, but I have enjoyed to have family and friends around. There hasn't been much time for handicrafts, only a few little things done which you can see from the pictures. I'm linking up with Barbara's NewFo Challenge.
Hope you all have a wonderful time!
Fortsatt god sommer!

Juli / July
Den første dagen i juli har vært fantastisk - solskinn, speilblank fjord og 25/26 gr.! Ettermiddagen er tilbrakt på terrassen med strikketøyet. Herlig!
The first day of July has been wonderful - sunshine, the fjord smooth as a mirror and 25/26 degrees Celcius ( 77 / 78 Fahrenheit). I have spent the afternoon on the terrace knitting. Great!

Hukommelse / Memory
Tror jeg begynner å bli gammel :-( Glemte jo at det grå/rosa teppet fikk lukkekant på og ble ferdig i begynnelsen av måneden. Bør jeg bli bekymret?!!
I think I'm getting old :-( In my last post I forgot that the grey/pink quilt got the binding on in the beginning of the month. So one bigger project on the June list. Do I need to be worried?!

Hvor ble det av juni? / The end of June already?
For meg har sommeren aldri vært tida for de store sømprosjekter, ei heller dette året. Nå er juni ved veis ende, og jeg kan bare vise til noe småtteri som er blitt sydd. Å sy krusbrikker er overkommelig - det samme med den lille korga. I tillegg til mobiletuiet fra forrige innlegg, er dette alt jeg kan skilte med denne måneden. Har brukt mye mer tid i selskap med strikkepinnene, men har ikke noe ferdig å vise til.
Summer is not the part of the year I sew much; no exception for this month. June is at the end, and the only items I can show are 3 mug rugs and a little basket - in addition to the mobile case in the last post.
I have spent much more time in company with the knitting needles, but nothing to show yet.
These little items are my contribute for Barbara's 2013 NewFo Challenge and Di's challenge "Cotton" for May/June.
