OPAM update

No sewing this week, as you probably know from latest posts. My fingers are itching to get going again next week. However, I did finish the scissor keeper last week as planned. Now it looks like this.

This is a class project I worked on and finished first days of January. It is a “Beauty Bag” with one front pocket and several pockets inside to fit all those beauty products that come in big bottles. It also fits your extra make up bag, medicines and a few other things that grown up girls needs. I give classes in March at my local Quilt shop, Meretes Ateliér.

Have a nice week end. Enjoy photos of Gizmo and Zappa’s best moments.

I have always been curious how cats can sleep in such awkward positions.

Update

Confession time. I did not keep focus on the planned projects. Started off very good by finishing the Girls Quilt and the redwork stitchery. But than I fell of the wagon.

I had this scrappy top for a boy quilt hanging. So I decided to quilt it since I had the quilting movements in my head. I’m off to Ikea tomorrow to buy frames for the redwork stitcheries and some other stuff.

Enjoy your week end. I look forward to mine. It’s allways nice to visit The big Apple – Oslo.

OPAM and Week 2 focus

This is my first finish in year 2010. I received a kit for this table runner in the Advent calendar from my mom. Precut pieses several December days and the pattern at Christmas Eve. The design i made by Merete and was 2009 Christmas mystery at Quilt-Design's webpage.




I have been good and kept focus! However, I have not completed last week's focus projects. I have just a few stitches left on the redwork. I need to buy frames to complete my Trilogy of framed redwork designed by Leanne Beasley.

The girls quilt is alomst done. A few quilting stitches left at the border and than binding. I'm comfident I will complete both projects this week.

Just to be sure I am ready for more stitching, I have already made plans for my next focus.

Anyone recognize this little scissor keeper? Well it needs to be sewn together. This will be my next hand stitch focus :-)




The Machine sewing project will be sewing toghether this quilt made from one of Rosalie Quinlan Designs. I have already done the stitchery. No I need to sew it all togehter, quilt and bind it. I have decided to use this collection of fabrics.



This evening I have several hours available for sewing. DH is going out for dinner so I'll just wipe up somthing really quick. I'll rather bee quilting than cooking :-)
