Barbeque

believe it or not
not - if I look out the window now
but yes we had a barbeque yesterday
it was sunny and really warm
found some burgers in the freezer
yummy
and now, today
it is snowing
whow..............
what a surprise!!!



I have been waiting , waiting, waiting
and wating
for some fabrics I bought from USA.
Friday I found out that the postoffice have had one of the packages more than 2 weeks
they had forgott to send me a note about it
the same day the other one arrived
but they had found their way to me via the custom at Arlanda




First Cours by Tara Reed and Garden Song by Nancy Halvorssen
I love all fabrics by NH
these come from Rossville Quilts a new shop to me
the Caterwauling prints and the mix come from
Tranquility Quilts and fabric shop also new to me
I can recommend them both

Extreme makeover

not of me
but I feel like I need one
I have now been home from work 5 days
and this cold really make me feel
grey :(
a makeover would be nice

no.....
we have done some makeover
in our bathroom, sauna and laundry room downstairs
today we don´t have any sauna
we have never used it during this 10 years we lived here

so if anybody needs a heating device (bastuaggregat) for a sauna
you are welcome to pick it up for free:)))

instead we have a guesttoilet and a new laundryroom.


Laundryroom

The toilet
the walls are green not grey as it looks on the picture


it is just the final touch left.

last week we started with the bathroom upstairs

Log Cabin Hidden star


is the name of this quilt
I started and finished the top
when I was at Quiltcamp,
november last year
but now finally it´s quilted and finished

I used one jellyroll of the Crazy Eight collection by Sandy Gervais
and fleece on the backside so it´s really warm and cosy

the pattern did I find in the book
Jelly Roll Quilts by the Lintotts
(I like this name because lintotte in Swedish is a little blond child)

it is an "eggwarmer" originally
but I have put some wadding into it

the pattern comes from
DropDesign and their Easter-calendar

Springtime is getting closer

It has been a great weekend
we have finally seen the sun

Inside it lightened me sewing-room
as you can see on my quilttop
being prepared to be quilted



Outside
some of the snow is gone
but there are a lot of it left


Drip, drop, drip, drop........
I love that sound outside my room


When spring is coming

but I choosed yellow and black instead
