To day there where a big swarm of birds stoped in my garden on their way back from warmer area. If they hoped to find some food , I belive they was disappointed, there are not summer yet. No green grass and no flowers, just cold and snow and rain...
The only flowers I got are these in doors. - There are a few small spring flowers in my garden but I belive they are realy cold....
Here you can see how it looks outside when the snowshower goes by.Not a great time to be travelling bird .....
My friend Lisbeth has been travelling.... to the sun on a cruise. And she had thimles with her back as a gift for me ;-) One from Jamaica and one from Coamel. Thank you Lisbeth , great gifts from a great friend.
This last weeks I have been playing with my sewing machine. I have done a lot , but can't show you every thing yet.( I have been doing some gifts..... I will show you them next time .. )
I have been making me some new bags, but I did not have time to do all the bags I had on my mind. This is the kit of the third bag from the
Bagaliciocs club. A sweet little bag made by Janelle Wind. This will be my new bag for sunny days, - if there will be summer sometimes ;-) Great pattern and beautifull fabrics. So diffrent from the bags I use to make .
I have been playing and tryed some ideas I have had on my mind for a while.... The first are this little purse. I found it in a Japanece book. Easy and fast to make - great for coins when I don't bring a bag.
The second bag are a BIG one .... a weekend bag. All made of fabrics from my stash...Old Thimbelberry fabrics, left-over from differnt TB clubs. The crazy quilt fabrics are great - but now it is gone... The pattern are Norwegian - a Peggy pattern . She have a lot of great pattern for bags.
This is a Peggy pattern too. A great little bag fun to make and a little diffrent. The fabrics on the front remember me of the "happy"-70 and The Beatles. You will find a lot of Peggys pattern here at
Quilteliv. This was the shop who was at
Elverum quiltelag on our last meeting.
So now I got me some new bags on my next trip to vistit Emma and Peder... ;-)
A girl can newer get to many bags--- I belive ;-)
Have a great week , I will soon be back to show more of my sewing machine- playing.
Have fun and tacke care. ;-)
I love the colours of summer ..... To day has been a great sunny day: the sun didn't go "to bed" untill almos 23 o'clock. I took this photo when it coloured the clouds red.So now I hope the old saying tell the true..... "Evening red make the mornig bright"(aften røde gir morgen søde)
All thing grew fast in summertime - The children also it seems. Look how big Emma and Peder are. It is so fun to be able to meet them and be a part of theyr life.... :-)
I went to Oslo for some days and when I got home this beautifull parcel was waiting for me. I need more Cosmo floss for my Down in the Garden BOM so I ordred it from Sarah at QFD and there was some new fabrics who wanted to come al the way to Norway. LOL Every parcel I got from QFD are soooo beautifull wrap up so I always want more.... I think Sarah realy know how to get me hooked... ;-)
Here are some flower photos from my trip. Beautifull flowers in the town. I dont know the name of the bush.... But it was great..
And so was this Lilac too -- not to forget the couple in front of it LOL.
But I have manage to do some Quilt work too.... more bags. ;-) Just what I needed... This is a "Broderusk" from Nothern Quilts.Named " Duft av roser" ( smell of roses) . Look at the great button who was in the kit.It is from "Snella og Petronella" Take a look - and have fun ;-)
I have also made my third of the bags from the Bagalicious club. A sweet little bag named "girl friday" by the Janelle Wind collection. It is a bag with glasses case in great Cosmo fabrics.Quess who study the pattern so I could cut the fabrics and get leftovers..... This is another great kit from Sarah at QFD.... And luckey me got 5 more bag kit to rejoice at before the fun is over...;-)
