More UFO's.

I'm still digging in my UFO box, and yesterday I finished these two.

I had the squares made out of strips, so I sewed them together and put on a border. I thought it was a little boring, so I added the hearts with raw edge appliqué.

Here is a closeup of the quilting. I am practicing feather borders at the moment. It's so much fun, I am finally getting better at the freemotion quilting. My stitches are still a little uneven, but with a lot of practice I think it will be better.

These stitcheries is from a great BOM over at Gail Pan Designs, and they are free! I made these three, but then I decided to use another fabric for the background, and different threads. So the three stitcheries in this wallhanging ended up in the box. But now I finally finished them! I think it got cute with the bright green and red.

I still have a lot of UFO's to finish, but I need to start some new projects too:-) Next up is my pillow for my secret swap-partner! That will be a fun project:-)

Winter mini quilt swap!

I made this for Betsy Lynn in North Carolina, USA!

I had news that she got it, so now I can show it to you!

Sorry about the bad photo...

A little early for this, but...

..I took a dive in my UFO box, and this is one of the tings I finished yesterday! I had this stitchery done before Christmas, but it ended up in the box somehow.

I used ricrac together with the border, and I think it gave the wallhanging a nice effect. Solid red for the binding.

I freemotion quilted it, still practicing on that! But I am getting better...

At last, a photo from my garden, spring is finally here! I love it when the first flowers are blooming:-)

Have a nice weekend!

I'm in heaven!

...Fabric heaven, that is...

I went a little "bananas" when these fabrics was on sale in my favorite online quilt-shop... At first, I ordered one bundle of fat-quarters, but I soon found out that I needed more! And ended up with four different fat-quarter bundles and some yardage.

Oh, all the things I can make with them! But I have to admire them a little more before I cut into them:-) And prewash, of course...

Pretty, huh? I guess I'm a fabriholic...

(Fabric line is Minny Muu from Lecien)

Project Pillow Swap.

I joined a swap today, this will be exciting!

It's still time for you to join, if you go to Modified Mix to sign up.

A little surprise...

...For someone...

Hope she likes it!

Winter Mini Quilt Swap.

It seems things are taking a long time to get on my blog lately, but here it is...

I got this lovely quilt about two weeks ago, and I adore it! Love the snowflakes and the fabrics in it and the colors. And it is just the right size for a small tabletopper!

Thank you to you, Jennifer!

Now I'm waiting to hear from the reciever of the quilt I made for the swap. I'm a bit nervous something went wrong... The quilt was sent about a month ago, and I have not heard anything yet. Crossing my fingers that it's just caught up in customs or something.

Do you need some inspiration?

...To use fabric from your stash? Rae Ann at Cutie Pinwheel has started a new blog to give us all some help and inspiration! Check out Stash Manicure and become a follower! I'm sure there will be a lot of great ideas and inspiration to be found there.

I sure need to use some of my stash, so I can feel better about buying new fabric:-)

Giveaway!

Just a quick post to tell you about a giveaway going on over at "Adventures in Alice Land" Go over and check it out!

I'm back!

I'm sorry about my long brake from blogging!

I hve not been sewing a lot, I guess I needed a brake.

In the meantime I have been re-organizing my sewing room, buying some new storage and shelves. I am very happy with the result! It still looks a bit messy, but now the mess is in system:-)

New bookshelf, with all my books, magazines and prints from the internet... I put some things on display there as well, from different swaps

( Cat's food station stands there as well, as he lives in my sewing-room ).

My working table, and new storage for all my fabric.

And this fabrics are for a mystery-quilt I decided to make, all batiks combined with solid black.
I started sewing from them, but havent taken any pictures yet.

I recieved a gorgeous mini-quilt from the winter time mini quilt swap too, I will take pictures and make a post about that one soon...

Until next time, happy sewing!
