What to call this post.... :o)

Im lousy with titles, I know - I try my best but sometimes its just not possible to come up with something interesting and catching. Like today, but heres the post all the same - title or not :o)

I have finished the center of the Bella Parade Quilt. This is a fun miniquilt to make and its quite fast, but now I have to wait for the next steps next week. This is 12" x 12".

I have also made the last blocks of my P2 Modern Solids Quilt. So next is the sashing and then the top is finished.

This is how the blocks looks together on my designwall. Yeah, looks nice :o)

This is what I had to show this time, so long :o) And have a wonderful Sunday!

Makings from Easter

Even though my elbow doesn't allow me to quilt the big tops I've lying around giving me a hard time because I really want to finish them, I had to make something during Easter. So I found a pattern for a tablerunner I have wanted to make for a long time. Originally it was made as a Christmas runner, but I had some greens that I wanted to use.

( As you can see I had to take a break before I got to the binding...)

Its easy to make, but one of the reasons I wanted to do it was because of the quilting. Its just straight lines, but I like the effect the pattern gives.

You can see it even better on the back.

I also made the two next blocks in the Modern Solids QAL. Only four more blocks to go, so this will be a quick one.....

(The colours are not good on this last one, they are darker like the first)

Dont forget my giveaway, still some days left to join if you want :o) Here's the link.

A wonderful evening to you all!

Ny quilt along og en strikkeveske/ New Quilt Along and a knittingbag

Jeg hadde egentlig bestemt meg for at jeg skulle ikke være med på flere QA akkurat nå. Men så kom jeg over denne da... Og den så litt spennende ut, bare ensfargete stoff. Det er Charlie og Ryan ( ja - to menn, som jo også er litt uvanlig men artig :o)) som arrangerer. Se link til høyre for mer info.

I had decided not to participate in more QA at the moment. But that was before I saw this... I looks exciting, its only solids and I'd like to try that. Its Charlie and Ryan (yes - two men, which is also a bit unusual but fun :o)) who is hosting this. For more info use the link on the right.

Visste noenlunde hvilke farger jeg ville ha, men hadde problemer med å velge mellom 2 farger. Bestemte meg for den siste kombinasjonen. Så imorgen skal jeg sy den første blokken.

I knew which kind of colours I wanted, but I had difficulties choosing between two of the colours. At last I decided to go for the last combination. So tomorrow I will make the first block.

Jeg har lenge hatt lyst å prøve å sy en strikkeveske. Etter at Quiltefia la ut mønster på Tåsen Quiltelags blogg, har jeg endelig gjort det.

For a long time I have wanted to try to make a knittingbag. After Quiltefia posted a pattern, I finally did.

Jeg gjorde det litt annerledes med glidelåsen slik at den ble skjult inni vesken.

I changed a bit, so that the zipper got hidden inside the bag.

Og tenk, idag blir syrommet mitt ferdig!!! Kun å henge opp en lampe, så er det bare å flytte inn i et helt tomt rom som skal fylles med stoff og tråder og sybord og kuttebord og nytt strykejern og bøker og blader - ååååå hvilken glede :o))

Today my new sewing room will be finished, only one lamp to be hung up :o) One empty room to be filled with fabrics and threads and sewing table and cuttingtable and my new iron and magasines and books - ooohhhh what a joy :o))

En ting som skal få æresplassen over sybordet mitt er en liten quilt (20" x 16") som jeg har kjøpt av mamacjt ( hun har laget den til meg), den er på vei til meg!! Er den ikke supersøt? Har dere ikke vært på bloggen hennes, så anbefaler jeg sterkt et besøk - hun er utrolig kreativ og flink. Jeg elsker alt hun lager!!

This is going to have the place of honor at the wall over my sewing table. Mamacjt made it for me ( I bought it) and now its on its way to me!! Isnt it cute? If you havent visited her blog, I strongly recommend it - she is incredible creative and makes the most wonderful things. I love her work!!

Så - nå middagslaging og etterpå flytte flytte flytte :o)) Ha en flott kveld!!

So - now on to making dinner and then move move move :o)) Have a wonderful day!!
