30's PlaytimeTable Cloth

I was gifted Charm pack for christmas; 30's Playtime by Chloe's Closet from Moda. I made half square triangles with one light and one dark fabric. Then I arranged them into a star pattern. The cloth will be gifted back to the giver when visiting this summer.

Christmas Table Topper

I have made another quick and easy table topper, see the previous one here.
This table topper is a present for my sister. This is truly a quick and easy project!

Pattern: #103 - Quick & Easy Table Topper and Runner from Lehmann Quilting.
Fabric Kit purchased at The Quilt Yard in Osseo, Wisconsin

Modern Table Topper

Quite different than my normal quilts is this table runner. I enjoyed being outside my comfort zone.
The table topper is a variant of a pattern in Quiltemagasinet #2 2013; "Buede former" by AnnAKa.

To cut the curves, "The Quick Curve Ruler" was used. The quilting was inspired by Quilt Matters. It was fun to do, but the table topper was slightly bulky around the edges after quilting. The fabric and ruler was purchased at Meretes Atelier in Grimstad, Norway. The main prints are from Kaffe Fassett Studio. The water bottles are from Crate & Barrel.

This makes three finishes in three weeks, how I am going to keep this up?

Pattern is # 103 Quick and Easy Table Topper & Runner from Lehmann Quilting.

Spring Baby Sleepers

 The sleepers are made from

• fleece blanket (2 layers)
• bed sheets
• zipper

The first sleeper fits a new baby, the second one maybe up to a 9 mo or until the baby starts sitting up in the carrige. The sleepers are now on the way to a new mom, will be exiting if she thinks they works for her needs. If anybody is interested in a approx measurements and more pictures on how I put the sleepers together, let me know!

I have also finished a table cloth. This cat garden fabric was a present from my son. Did not have the heart to cut into it, so I folded up the edges, and will use it as a table cloth. Maybe use it for our garden table this summer?

Twister Bursts

 Another raffle gift is done, a reversible twister table cloth. I used the twister ruler for 5 inch blocks.
The fabrics are scarps and from fabric line "Blooms & Bursts" by Jen Da Silva for Studio e.

Tulip Table Cloth

I am very happy with this table cloth! My quilting mojo is low, but beautiful tulips in my garden inspired me! The paper-pieced block pattern made by A Quiling Jewel was a part of the Garden Party Blog Hop at Sew Hooked. Love it, thank you for sharing the pattern!

I spent the weekend at Norefjell Spa & Resort, a lovely stay. I love the interior design on this norwegian mountain resort! You can find more pictures from my previous stay here.

My Kitchen Cloth

This quick table cloth was inspired by a block in the book "Schnibbles Times Two Quilting Book - Quilts from 5" or 10" Squares" by Carrie Nelson. The fabric is from John Lewis Departments Store in London; John Lewis Fat Quarter Fabric Roll, Blue/Green.  The cloth will be a prize in a raffle.

A Fall Feeling!

I got a fall feeling today, the leaves on the birch trees in my garden is turning yellow. While waiting for my hubbie finishing the Birkebeiner race (The world largest off road bike race) yesterday, I got very cold and wet and muddy.

I have now started to light candles on the fireplace every night too. The fall  feeling is here!

I have finished two table cloths. The fabric; "Gold trimmed Leaves on Cream" was so beautiful that I did not want to cut into it at all.  The fabric was purchases at Hancocks Fabric in Woodbury (St.Paul), Minnesota.
