..all I want to do



It's been a while....and there hasn't been any time in my studio the last two weeks.
All of you who makes stunning quilts 
one after another....how do you find the time?

I find the spring quite stressful......but WONDERFUL at the same time!

  Dirty windows, dust,washing winter clothes :( 
planting, birthdays, running, flowers, birds singing :)... and.....

Well...today I closed my eyes....didn't see all unfinished work...!

I started up sewing my Kaffe Fasset quilt together......feels good!
It looks like a color cascade....it makes me smiling!
Colors do that to people!




Oh...my plants makes me smile too!

My plants are growing and thrivingin in the heat and light in the conservatory.




All I want to do.....?
New plans?.......Yes, I would like to make a stitchery....but what?
 Any suggestions?


Love Margreth

A princess quilt



Every finished quilt makes me happy!

 I started this one last summer during the Royal wedding when Victoria married Daniel.
Yes... I looked and was inspired to stitch some crowns.
I choosed  a warm color palette and added blue crowns and stripes to cool the impression






I quilted it today in wild circles all over the surface with orange thread....
It isn't easy to choose how to quilt. It requires a lot of planning and....a lot of patience.
.... and hopefully..... no one will hear when things go bad. :(

My mother and father visited us on saturday bringing a lovely,
lovely bouquet of flowers.
It matches my quilt Red cottages so nice!

Happy again! :)

 
 
 
.... at full speed....... running..and sewing.....:)
