First day of class is over

Gail & Helen have taught the first day of their class, and tomorrow April 1st will be their last day, and that's no April fool's joke. The first day was great, and I think the second will be equally wonderful.
The models I chose to stitch was 'Stitch Me Happy' by Gail and 'Sewing Chatelaine' by Helen.
I will be back with more details.

While waiting for Gail & Helen...

I am working on 'Stitched by me' by another Australian designer, Lynette Anderson:

Now, I am doing block #2, the alphabet block. I am not rushing it at all, just stitching when I feel like it. I really enjoy it very much.

During the weekend I will be very busy with either Helen's or Gail's designs, so Lynette will have to take a break. Actually, the first big quilt I made was a wall hanging designed by Lynette, 'Scandinavian Snowball Fun'. The kit was bought at Quiltegården, and below is the result of my stitching and quilting:

Looking forward to stitching the coming weekend

The coming weekend I will attend a two-day class with the Australian designers Gail Pan and Helen Stubbings in Trondheim. I am looking very much forward to inspiring days learning a lot of new things!

A great trailer/caravan project!

I found this recipe in modabakeshop.com and just had to try it out this weekend. It is just the cutest trailer/caravan I have ever seen! I like my version! I did not have a glue stick to put up front, so I had to use a permanent marker on the photo, instead.

No rain today!

It has been raining a lot lately, with resulting floods in the lower areas in the region, but today I woke up to a pretty clear day with no precipitation. For a quilter that means good photo opportunity, so out with the quilt to hang on the porch wall. Nothing beats daylight to show off the colors!

I found a treasure!

A my local thrift store, Fretex, I discovered 9 old issues of Quiltemagasinet that I didn't have from before. A previous (?) quilter must have had a spring clean-up and donated these to charity. The magazines were just as new, and nine of them cost me the same as two issues straight from the press. The issues range from 2008 to 2010, but you know, the quilt designs never go out of style, maybe the color scheme is not your chosen one but that is easy to change. I spent a long time on Saturday looking through these magazines and getting inspired.
This is really a treasure for me!
