En of July...

I manage to finish my Girlish quilt in the last days of July. It is a result from one of my deep seek in my UFO pile. Made from two BOM's. The Breast of Friends from Homespun and The GG BOM by Red Brolly.And a lot of my "why on earth did I buy this" fabrics.This time I try to use my pink and strange girl fabrics...Kobling
I manage to use a lot on the back of the quilt, but belive it or not I got more... So now I have to stay focus in August too hoping to get ready more of my "secret" UFO's LOL And belive me there are plenty to work on..
At last we got sunshine here too. This beautiful sky happend some days ago. A suggestive end of a horible July here in Norway. So now I hope for a quilet and calm August. At my place it is empty and soooo quilet. My summer guests are safe back at their home and ready for work.
I wonder if they took one of the walls with them.... No one are calling for EMMA... or telling Peder are staying on the toilet... Oh I miss them, but hope to see them all again soon. :-)

Have a great week and stay safe.
Hugs :-)

Thinking and sewing....

This last days has been a time for a lot of thinking about life and dead and happiness and sorrow.I'm so luckey that all from my family stayd safe after all the awful happening in Oslo and Utøya. I feel so blessed,but feel so mutch sorrow for who lost someone. In times like this it is great to have some "not-have-to-think"-work to do.So I does PP and bindings.All my "Snippe-spekulasjoner" blocks are done. Approved by Cyan.
My Calendar Cat Quilt are also done.. It turned out to be a Winter quilt with thick Norwegian wool batting.. So now I'm prepare for cold winter weather, but I need summer first...
This is what I hope to get done soon. Some of them are done-- The Cat quilt .... and a little table runner.... and almost the Girlish quilt...
Here are the table runner,my own idea. The blocks are made from a gift I got, on the last fair we went too, when I work at Little stasjon. So this are a little memory quilt. The small stitchery houses are from a Japanese book. The Runner bring back a lot of great memories.
But now it is back to my bindings.
Have great and safe days untill next time.
Big hugs to you all and stay safe :-)
An extra hug to you who have someone missing or lost during this horrible days.

Focus-focus and more focus....

I'm still focused at all my UFO's. The more I do the more forgotten UFO's get out into the dayligth.. One who suddenly came out from the darkness only miss some leaf on the last block. I realy wonder why I didn't finish it... But now it is the next to be done... I just have to finish this pink girlish quilt... The top are done, I have to make the back ...
I have dig deep into my fabrick pile to find crazy girlish fabrics to make the backing... Still wondering why I realy bought these fabrics... But now I will use them. At last :-)
Yes I'm still focus on A Kittens Tale.. Almost done, I have desided not to do the two last blocks. I need a new quilt on the wall over my sofa.Leannes House need a rest , and Down in my Garden are still a UFO, and going to be one for a long time yet... I hope to start with the oldest UFO's and work me up to the newest...
To morrow I'm going on a Quilt Shop trip. I need only fabrics for the border on A K T and batting , but knowing my self I'm sure I manage to find something I don't know I need...
Wonder what that will be.....

I will show you next time.. Happy UFO hunting to you all, Hugs :-)
