Some quilty things....

Remember OC scrap quilt mystery at Bonnie Hunters page some time ago? I startet and kept up with the progress untill last couple of steps. I was not pleased with my choices so the hole lot ended up in a box of UFOs. Lately I picked it up again and decided to make two quilt tops for charity from the finished blocks. This is the first one. My plan is to make a blue or offwhite 2 inch border but than what? Any suggestions??



The second top have blocks set on point with grey sashing and I used the half blocks I allready made. This top is smaller that the first one and need to grow to be a desent size lap quilt. What about a red 2 inch border, then a row of four patches and a border about four inches to finish? Please help me out! My scrap bin is full so I can make any scrappy border.


I love to spend time in my sewingroom. But sometime it's nice to sit in the couch in the livingroom toghether with DH or friends. I love to have some handstitching to do. I love the couch caddy from Helen (Stitcher's Angel project). When handstitching I allways get all this small thread ends that end up on my carpet and DH's socks. So I made a small thread catcher to hang on the caddy. I found this a very neet idea.

Take care and enjoy life.

Long time - no see. SMILE

Things are happening in my life and I need to take it easy to have a good life. And, life is good! Last week end DH and I went to visit DS1 and DIL. They bought this house i July. The naborhood is nice and quiet. Still a few things left to do, like some painting and curtains.



DS and DIL cooking in the kitchen. She made fish'n chips and pumpkinpie from scratch. Delicious. DIL is a good cook.

Time to relax in the sofa corner. They have some beautifull fantasy art on the wall.


I wish them all the best in their new home.

My latest completed projects

Time to think about Christmas Gifts. This is some of the things I've made for somebody for Christmas. The Sofa Caddy is made from Helens pattern (Hugs'n Kisses). You can find a tutorial at my sidebar for how to make the hearts. I love the smell from the cinnamon stick on the hearts. Reminds me of making Christmas cookies.

Stay in touch. There will be a give-away in November.
