Not much

sewing the last weeks.





I have been painting walls and roofs in the kitchen and livingroom.

Yesterday I visited a quilt show just down the road from where I live. It is Vikhammer Quilt Guild celebrating their 15 years together.

Lots of great quilts to see. And fun to meet friends.








This was just a small celection of what they were showing.

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.

Jacobs ladder top is finished.

It was finished last sunday, but I have been too busy to make a post about it.

So here are the top. It is 72" x 90". I am planing to handquilt it.


Now I need to get  backing fabric and batting.


Have also been working on another top.
I bought this book earlier this summer, love everything about it. Just had to start on one of the projects in it.


One of my favorite blocks is log cabin. And this was so fun to make. I used Marti Michell ruler for log cabin. It made the block easy to make.




This one is nearly done, I have about five rows left to put together.

So back to the sewing machine for me.

Progress

I am slowly getting these blocks sorted out. It has been a longer road than attended, because I have been making all sort of mistakes.


I have been cutting wrong, putting the pieces together wrong. Ended up laying this project to the side a couple of months.













Now they are all layed out on the floor, ready to be sewn together to a top.
Better get to it!
