Someone is getting breadbaskets

Gots lots more on the way.

It is all happening this weekend

Tomorrow I will have a talk about my life as a quilter at my loqal quiltshop quiltegaarden.blogspot.no.

This my first quilt. It lives in my mom`s house. Borrowed on a promise to take good care of it.

It has a lot of designs from Debbie Mum in it.

Fabrics used are all kinds, from second hand mens shirts to designer fabrics.

Techniques used are all from handpiecing, foundationpaperpiecing, mashinepiecing and of course handquilting.

And also tomorrow I will pick up my new sofa. There will be no time this weekend to enjoy it!

Pimp my ride....

.... nope!

 I have been pimping a appron. DD has cookingclass at school this year, and was told she need a appron. We planed to make one from scratch, but then I found this old one hidden in a bag.

It had seen better days. Pocket where almost torn off.
We decided we could work something out of it.
I found some fabric and ribbons in my stash, and started cutting and sewing.
Here it is all pimped and looking much better.

And I have a very happy girl looking forward to school tomorrow.
