Been sewing this weekend


I got to spend a lot of time in my sewing room this weekend. The quilt I'm working on is almost finished, and I love these happy colors. I'm a big fan of "dusty" prints, but I love to make some quilts with brighter fabrics now and then. Reminds me of the Summer we are soon about to welcome :o) The "Bliss" line from Moda is just gorgous, and since I had so much fabric left after making the block for my Schnibble quilt some months ago, I figured I should make a Summer quilt. I got to see a beautiful quilt made by Merete a while ago, and started cutting fabrics after I got home from Quiltegården on Tuesday. I got to buy the white fabric for background that day, and I love how it's turning out! 
Since I had to pick it up from the floor so I could clean up some of the threads and dust from the floor, I only got to take a photo while the rows are folded together tonight. I'm half way to a finished top, so I'll take a photo of the whole thing in a few days. This quilt are really a stashbuster :o)


I also started a couple of  Easter projects like the hearts in my previous post. Just love these cuties :o)
I'm pretty tired and ready to jump to bed, so they have to wait till tomorrow, so I can finish them up.


Wish you all a great and creative new week, 
Laila

Så godt å ha fri hele påsken, så det skal nok bli en del sying på meg også disse dagene. Og hvis det blir sol og varmt på verandaen blir det nok litt EPP der ute :)

Hei Laila. Du inspirerte meg til å få ferdig en Tilda påskehare og sy det samme hjertet med hare motiv som du har laget. har tenkt på det lenge, men liksom ikke kommet i gang. takk skal du ha. Jeg er spent på å se hva det blir av stitchery/applikasjonen du er i gang med nå. Jeg har også kjøpt boken med selbuvottene, tror jeg venter til, ovver sommeren med å begynne å strikke votter, har en jakke jeg må gjøre ferdig først... Ønsker deg en riktig god påske. Hege

Spreke farger opp imot hvitt er jo bare så nydelig kombinasjon! Har fått i hus hvitt stoff, så med tid og stunder må jeg nok teste ut litt jeg også.

Ønsker deg og dine ei flott og solrik påske med mye kos og glede. Påskeklem :)

Sweet little stitcheries, Laila!

And I love your work in progress, as usual. ;) It's so fun to change things up a bit, isn't it.

Hope you had a lovely weekend. Hugs to you, sweet girl. ;)
