I saw snow, snow and snow



and here is the result

Busy weekend

I had a lot to do this weekend
it started with a meeting with my
quiltfriends "Quiltkramarna"
I decided to make a wallhanger
for my office at work
since I work at a diary
I looked for a pattern with a cow
and found an AnnaKa pattern
the original is a tablerunner
I finished it today
and here is the picture



A close-up




Then on Sunday I had a class at Quiltbiten
to learn how to sew this
with crazy curve-templates
very funny to make
and much more easy to make than I thought it would


then rest of the weekend did I spent
cleaning out the bathroom downstairs
we gonna start renovating this week

UFO-focus

Believe it or not!!!
I have started with one of my 2 UFO´s
or was it 20 of them ?? :)))
the disappering 9-patch swap
here is the first block
I haven´t decided yet how to put the blocks together
but I have an idea that I´m gonna try


Then I have been thinking of what project
I´m gonna sew, when my quilting guild
having a meeting on Saturday
no decision yet

My DH also has a hobby
and here is photo of his Poison dart frogs
I don´t remember the latin name
you can see one grown up and at least 3 young ones

Have you seen Annikas ( on Sammanfaller) great giveaway

Friday Night sew in 2

I promised a picture
................. and here it is
my oldest DD´s birthdayquilt
ready to quilt


It´s a pattern from " Tyger och tings " (in english "Fabrics and things") book
"Tyger blir ting" (in english "Fabrics become things")
and I bought a kit from the same store
I made the quilt larger with 1 broad border, to fit a doublebed
This is how it looked Friday night
and today have I done a lot of freehand quilting
now..........
IT`S FINISHED!!! :)
I´m gonna take a new photo tomorrow
when it´s daylight
