Happy Halloween!!

Our little vampire-daughter today at one of the highlights of her year: Halloween. She loves to plan her costume, (get me to sew it...), get her face painted and go out to "trick or treat" in our neighbourhood.
Oktober er også min mors fødselsdagsmåned, og i år syede jeg denne løber til hende. Den er lavet af en Thimbleberries charm pack fra quilteshoppen i Juelsminde (gevinst fra træffet i Roskilde sidste år) og noget lækkert hørstof fra Quilt My Design

Ny virus??
I think I caught a new bug... Can't think straight al all, just keep seeing strips and clothes-line everywhere. It's all about these:

Jeg tror jeg fik virussen her. Men PAS PÅ - den smitter temmelig vildt!!!
I think I got it here. But WATCH OUT - it's very contagious!!!

Alt for længe siden!
I juni havde min søster og svoger sølvbryllup, og de fik et lille vægophæng af en mended heart blok:

Oh boy, I just discovered a lovely give away Jenny of Elefantz is having. Click on the picture below for details - and remember to mention I sent you :-)
Første færdige Bagalicious projekt
When I wrote about Quilt Fabric Delights' Bagalicious Club in my last post, I could hardly believe that I had already received 3 (THREE!) yummy kits - without starting any of them! So of course I had to get started on the first one, Authentic Bag - design: Sweetwater And by the end of the day, my collection of bags had increased :-)

Toppen er færdig!
A while ago I signed up for the Bagalicious Club at Quilt Fabric Delights. Kits for wonderful bags designed by some of Australia's best designers. sarah Leak from Quilt Fabric Delights has started a "Creative Team" on her blog with free patterns, tutorials and lots of inspiration. Click on the logo here or in my sidebar and get inspired!

This weekend a package from Norway arrived - Thanks to Hilde for this nice surprise (my prize in the 5 before 5 challenge at Quilt Skandinavia)!

(I øvrigt tilbyder Northern Quilts netop nu denne BOM, hvis nogen er interesserede)
I finally finished the top for the Dus med Himlens Fugle BOM from Butik Himmelblå, which I started 2 years ago. Now to get started on the quilting. This will be my first try at spraybasting - Everybody says it so much easier, so i thought I'd give it a try...
(The BOM is being offered at Northern Quilts right now, of anyone wants to give it a try)

2 x Weekendsyning
I didn't show you that I actually managed to finish my "5 before 5" - An annual UFO challenge in the Quilt Skandinavia Yahoo-group But it was at the last moment... My no. 4 (a table runner made from a Christmas Mystery by Merete) was finished just 1 hour before deadline, so I still had time to finish no. 5...

I dug out a Japanese block from my pile of sample blocks and 1-2-3 it was a Christmas ornament (hmmm... Maybe I should make a few more of these, they're quite cute, don't you think?) 4 minutes before the deadline I could send my report of 5 finishes. HOORAY!!

Probably the smallest finish in this challenge, but still a finished project :-)
Når tidsfristen er udløbet er der flere lodtrækninger om præmier i de forskellige kategorier, og tænk engang - I år vandt jeg den ene!! Selv sender jeg en præmie nordpå - den er på vej til Karin som fik syet ikke mindre end 6 aktionstæpper!
When we reach the deadline there is a draw to find several winners, and this year - I won one of the prices!! I will also be sending a price up north - it's on its way to Karin who finished 6 raffle quilts!

No more talk of UFOs in this post. This weekend I had to try something new, so here you see my first fabric bowl attempt. If you forget about the ending (which I think I need to practice a few times - at least!) I'm quite satisfied - and it's fun and easy to do. There are quite a few tutorials out there on the internet - I used this one

Another photo of the same project...

Ny sofa?
No, it's not our new sofa, but my niece wanted a sleeping sofa for her confirmation yesterday, so I made this for her to hide the gift certificate - of course it had to have a couple of handmade cushions as well :-) (I left the tealights in the picture, so you can get an idea of the size)

Of course a sleeping sofa has to fold out - this was where the gift certificate was.

UFO nr. 3
Det er lykkedes at blive færdig med UFO nr. 3 for i år - men jeg skal vist til at skynde mig, hvis jeg skal nå 5 færdige før 1. maj... (En udfordring, vi har på QuiltSkandinavia)
Yahooo!
I finally finished my third UFO this year - I really need to sped it up a bit if I'm going to finish 5 before May 1st... (A challenge at QuiltSkandinavia)

Det er en lille taske fra sidste års abonnement fra Giggle Buttons Club Broderiet blev jeg hurtigt færdig med, men siden har det bare ligget i skuffen. Tasken er syet af et bukseben fra et par gamle cowboybukser - Det er sidste gang jeg applikerer i hånden på cowboystof! Knapperne er lavet af Sonya på Giggle Buttons De er bare så søde! Heldigvis har jeg stadig et par andre projekter liggende fra det abonnement... med flere søde knapper :-)
It's a small bag from last year's membership of Giggle Buttons Club. The stitchery was finished right after I received it, but has been in the drawer since then. My version of the bag is made of a pair of old jeans - I CANNOT recommend doing buttonhole-appliqué by hand on demin! Never again!! The sweet flower buttons are made by Sonya at Giggle Buttons I love them! Lucky me - I still have a couple of other projects from Sonya to finish - with more sweet buttons :-)

Vårtegn
I stedet fik jeg ryddet fuldstændig op og gjort rent her i syværelset - det er da et vårtegn! Og netop vårtegn (eller "Nu livnar det i lundar") er dagens tema...




Men UFO'erne er ikke glemt! Her et projekt, der involverer et broderi fra Giggle Buttons Club og et par gamle cowboybukser... fortsættelse følger :-)

En UFO mindre i bunken
Yahooo! I finally finished another UFO. It's a lap-quilt (ca. 110 x 140 cm) for my Mother in Law. This top was made in 2007 after a swap on International Friendship Quilters. I added a purple polarfleece-backing and quilted it by machine. Hmmm... Still practising my machine-quilting!

Here is a bit of the back:

And I finished part 9 (last part) of the BOM I've been working on for the last 2 years. I'm putting together all the parts for the top now (almost finished!). Looking forward to quilting it (by hand)!
