Almost Spring ?

I have at last got my first part of the Spring Fling Round Robin ready and send it out in the world. Everybody make so great start blocks so I have a hard time to deside if it would pass or if I should make a new one....but it was my first choice so I let my little darlings out on them self. I hope the one who get them take god care and have fun . I have got a wonderful block from a lady and are thinking what to make next on it.....
Yesterday my husband and I went to Oslo to visit Nemo and her boy friend. Our oldest daugther paid a little visit to. It was a beautifull day. Here are a photo ,taken from the car,of Mjøsa. The biggest lake in Norway. It was so great to see the blue sky, the sun and the ground without snow.
I want to be able to walk outdoors in shoes and not to have to wear ankle boot any more...( snow, snow go away.... ;-)
In Oslo we went to a market. It was a lot of peoples and plenty to look at....I found something I just needed....
I got myself a Chinese box to put next to some of my pincushions.And some smal cups with saucers....So if anyone want a smal cup of coffee, please come. A friend of me say, when I told her,I know a girl who could need sutch a little cup..... She never drink all her coffee... ;-)
I also got myselv a new (old) sewing maskine.Isn't it just great. I have wanted some of these for a long time and now I got one... It is in good shape and have all the sew feets in the little scoop.
I have not tryed it yet, but I will soon.


Last week I got the second parcel from the Christmas Club 2008. A great kit made from a Hatched and Patched pattern. My goal are to make them all when I got them....
I also got a fat quater who I won on Fabrics Mom's blog. It is great and I have to use it for somthing specialy......
I got a wonderfull flower from my friend Lappehøna this weekend. Look how great they are out in the snow. They are outside during the day, but rest inside in the night. I'm afraid it will be to cold.Now you can see why I want to get rid of all the snow. I long to have more flowers....Pouring...pouring...
I must show you the newest member of our family....My oldest daugther's cat, Cyan. She are so sweet...they are coming to stay some days during Easter. It will be so fun and wonder what it will be with Jacob and her. They have not meet yet....A lot of No and Ups I think.....
Now I will be doing some bindings on some quilts. I have been working on some of my WISP's these days ..... I feel so clever... ;-)
I will show you next time. Have a great Easter...

Work in progress

Last weekend I went to a class with Kristin Pollen. We was going to make Star in a Star blocks. Working two and two together, and make two equal quilts. One was sewing and the other was cutting fabrics and ironing. My partner and I manage to make 24 blocs. It was what we want to make....two small quilts for the summer. To use out in the evenings. Here are our blocs with some blocs from some other girls...
Here you can see our blocks on the floor the way we decided it to look. ( If we could manage to remember how it should look) I took this photo, I don't trust my memory.But some time it dosen't help...
Here are the result. I like it, I have to pick some fabrics for the border and I will do that to morrow at the store. So far I have only used from my stash....( I feel so good) But the fabrics has not shrink a bit.( As you can see the photo didn't help. I manage to mix some of the blocs, but who bother? )
I have been able to finish the first block of Truly Scrumptios by Cinderberry Stitches. I have these blocks as a slow work.Only to relax with. I love to stitch and listen to TV.....
Yesterday I found a new BOM .....It is called "Noah's Ark" made by Lynette Andersson. It is free and you can find it on her blog. I will make them all,and get
me a little new stitchery quilt in a year....I love to get more to do. ;-)

Have a great day. I hope to get some fabrics for the border on the summer quilt to morrow.

I think it will be a busy day at work.....we are starting a big sale, with lots of fabrics,books and pattern.
