Two more finishes for today

In my post for 9 february, I showed you what I made off the test cloth from a previous machine quiltingclass, and the smallest purse was not done, now it is. 

 

Purse from previous post.

I needed to sew the end off the zipper together...

..then cover the seams.

Sew on by machine, folded, pined down and sewn by hand.

I also made a scissor keeper to match.

Small bag, small purse and a scissor keeper. 

I`m very happy about today's work, and even better..... 

my Beautiful Miss is drying by the fire.....

Yes, today was a good one..... :0)

Fun, fun, fun

I`ve just got home from the machine quilting class, and YES it was fun, fun, fun! I did not get to sew as much I`d planned, but I defiantly got pointed in the right direction.... Lovely ladies, some familiar, some new and Berit was great. I believe I know what to do in the weekend.......

 

You see, I`m wearing my nametag....ha ha ha

This is some of the patterns I sewed. Berit brought several quilts for us to look at, and this pattern where one of them. I had to try.

I also got some shopping done... Yes!, Quiltegården is one of the most beautiful quiltshops I know, and it is very easy to "lose" yourself in there..... But I did bring a post-it-note telling me what I needed, and I almost stuck to it.... just bought two extras...... I will post them in a while, showing you something new I`m going to make, it`s a bom I think, from Homespun magazine..... I`m excited and can almost not wait, having a discussion with my self ether to wash the fabrics first or not, but I think I will, just in case any color-bleeding....

Take care, Hanne-Kristine

Machine quilting class

I`m taking my Janome for a spin! Out in the snow, downtown, to visit  Siw at Quiltegården, it`s tomorrow!

I`m attending a machine quilting class with Berit. I have attended several classes like this before, but still I`m struggling! So to get my but in gear I`m attending a new one. I have a pile on my sewing desk to machine quilt, it is about time... they have been waiting over a year, some even more.....

I`m bringing lots of tests cloths or sandwiches (fabric+wadding+fabric). Last time I brought my cousin and we made bags and purse of the clots afterwords. I`m very pleased with that, and I`m thinking about doing something like that again....

 

  

These are waiting for a rainy day, leftovers from last time...

The big piece are going to be a bag and the small one, a purse.

  

  

I made this from the test cloth last time. Both bag and purse.

I sewed the bottom like Anne Pia Godske Rasmussen showed us (Danish designer).

 

  

And a small one for bits and bobs! Belive or not! It`s not done yet.... 

I`m adding this one to opam...

I have a lot of plans summing in my head, but I know one thing I`m going to be prepared and I`m going to sew, sew, sew...... 

Yes, I am!   (got a babysitter :o) ....).
