I tried some of the borders on my sewing machine, practised my freemotionquilting. Im not very good yet, but Im getting there. A lot better than this time last year......
The purses were fun to make and went together quite fast. But I think it was a bit difficult getting the ends to look good. Maybe it will be easier when I've made a few more of them :o)
As usual Im not very patient when it comes to start a new project. I know-I know, should have finished the hexagon tablerunner first and not to mention all the quilting I should have done.... But the hexies are done by hand, so thats different - and i havent got enough batting for all the tops, and that a good excuse aswell - so I started my new quilt top :o) And here are lots of strips from 2 jelly rolls.
I just have to show you one of the birthdaypresents I got from one of the girls. She has made it all by herself in secret in my room. She knows how to melt a mothers heart :o) Even if the card stated I had to do the binding myself.....
It was difficult to get a decent photo because of the colours, but I think you get the essence of it :o)

Flotte punger. Flott gave du har fått. Du finner sikkert en flott plass til den. Moro å starte på nye prosjekter også da. Vet veldig godt hvordan det er. Ha en super dag.
Hei Merete: Fine punger du har laget, noen mønster går liksom aldri av mote! Ka du skal lage i kjelleren når du blir kvitt "furu tida" som dominerer? Ekstra hobbyrom? Det er bare SÅ deilig å få det lysere i både vegger og tak. Ha ei fin uke, klem
