Easter stitching.....

It has been strange to do Christmas stitchery at Easter....

I`m a SLOW stitcher ...and it has taken me all of the holiday to stitch this:

Cat stitchery Still needs satin stitch in nose, middle of bow,

harts and in the middle of flowers.

Baby birds are all done.

Wish stitchery is one of the large ones. I`m really happy about getting this far...

Birthday gift for mom.

Back in October 2009, Lynette Anderson came to visit Norway. She gave a class for Kathrines Quiltestue ( I would have loved to be a part of that) in Oslo, then she had a very short visit in Trondheim before she and her husband traveled further with Hurtigruten (a Norwegian cruse chip). Lynette visited Quiltegården for a small hour and two the evening they spent here, and I got to meet her! Yey.....

I showed her my "Christmas with friends", "An angel table runner" without face and hair! and what I was making for my mother for Christmas. Well my mom did not get the gift for Christmas, I gave here something else 

(she was very happy for what she got :oD ).

My mother got her birthday present when she visited us 2 week ago (all ready!).......

I made her a Cottage scissor keeper, I`m making one for me too, but mine is not done yet 

(I`m working on it!!!! ha ha ha).

My angel garden is done

I finished my angel garden yesterday. 

I have quilted around the stitched circle and I have chosen not to add the green circle in the middle.

My happy little angels...

My Angel Garden by Hatched and Patched.

 This is what I`m working on these days....

I finished stitching this one 1 1/2 year ago! Now I have finally made the templates I needed and I`m appliqueing the stitchery onto the scallop borders.
Then I`m going to hand quilt around the circle. 

The pattern says: Applique a small green circle to the center of the stitchery flowers....
But I don`t know....

Spring mystery is all done

I`m happy as can be, I`m done with my Spring mystery. 

The Ladybugs kept me busy several hours yesterday....... 

.....when I finally got to the binding it only took about 20 minutes to sew it on by the machine......

Stitching the binding on the back took the rest of the evening and an hour this morning.

 I thought I was done, but I had forgotton ......

....the Ladybugs trails......

And here is the finished Spring mystery

The Ladybugs trails do not show at the large photo........

.....so some closeups:

And pretty on the back......

I would like to thank 9na for making a wonderful Spring mystery and all the ladies that participated. It has really been fun, and I liked the thought of sewing together.

All well to you all.

The quilting is done....

Dear Berit...

I do not know how you managed it, but you did teach me something at the machin-quilting-class in February!

Today I did what you told us to do:

# Draw first.....

# Sew a test cloth.....

# Round movements...

# Smile when you sew....

# Do not panic....

The list goes on.... ha ha ha

I drew several pages in my book

I sewed a test cloth, it took a while, but I was determent to finish it...

Yes, it is a whole 30cm x the width of fabric.

I managed to sew my gloves onto both the test cloth and the quilt!

Go girl....ha ha

Siw? I need new gloves..... ha ha ha

Then I quilted the Spring mystery...

It is the nicest piece of free-hand-machine-quilting I have ever sewn.

Honest!

Yes there are several ops! and arght#! but still the nicest...

Thank you Berit, a hug for you.

I`ll be doing the Ladybugs tomorrow....

The battle of the 100 squares......

I had a good look at 9nas photos and went into the battle of the 100 squares......

I think I lost! ha ha ha

There were so many of them and they all wanted to join in! 

I could make my table runner longer, I usually do! 

I end up with something a lot larger than the pattern!

So this is what I ended up with.

It started with something like 9nas and ended up with free flow in the middle!

I need to think and walk by it a while before I sew it together.....

Do leave a comment, an honest one! pleace..... :oD

I might not sew this together until tomorrow.... (3 children....)

Spring mystery - Ladybugs and 100 squares!

Well, I had quite a challenge to copy the ladybug from 9nas spring mystery... but I did it! 

YEY.... ha ha ha

The Ladybugs are now resting on top of my a lot more than 100 squares....! 

Can you ever believe it? I have lost the ability to count!... I just cut, cut, cut.......  :oD

I`m having fun and I`m looking forward to tomorrows new step. I`ve had a look on how the other ladies have done, and it`s looking great. I especially liked Vibekes colors, purple and others.
