Pink Lemonade

I am following a quilt-a-long organized by Lori at humblequilts.blogspot.com. This is a re-doing of a antique crib quilt that she has.
Got a pink reproduction that I liked, and used scraps for the blues, reds and browns.
Step 1 is now done.
This is really fun. Now I have to dive in to my boxes of stash and find a yellow fabric that fits.

This week is looking better already

More from christmas 2011

I promised more photos of the quilts for the kids. I used wool batting in both quilts.
Here is some closeups

And some presents I made for other family members

These were for my sister and brothers.

Best boy (young man) in the world

That is my 17 year old son.
He got me a giftvoucher at my local quiltshop for christmas.
And today I traided this for the voucher

How cute is this?

I love these japanese books. Find so much inspiration just by looking at the photos.
Got to make some of these one day soon, I think.

Handmade presents

I made a quilt each for my kids, did`nt have enough time to finish the binding, so that is being done now.

This one was for my daughter. I used the Le Moyne Star in lots of differnt pinks, greens, blues and purples.

This one my son got. I used lots of blues, browns, greys, blacks and some tans. The same star is used here. This was a BOM from lappemakeriet.no.

Both are made with english paperpiecing tecnique by hand. Stars, sashing, cornerstones and border are put together by maschine.

I had both profesionally longarm quilted in a pattern called Bishop`s fan.

Will show some more photos later. Time to get the bus to go to work now.
