This little house is a pin to have on my jacket. It measures 2 1/2 inch tall and 2 inch widht. I discovered this evening is may 31th and I had NO finish for may month. What to do..........run into the sewingroom to find a small project that would not take too long time to finish. And I found those houses I got when shopping from Quilt My Design at NQT last weekend. I guess you read Hannes blogpost about theese houses LOL.......... it became a kind of competition about her and me getting most houses......we got equal amount of them LOLSo just one tiny little finish for OPAM may month.
Have you OPAM girls remembered to list your finishes in the sidebar!!!!! You have to do that to be in the draw for May OPAM prize which is given by Kris this month.
And what do you do when you are planning to baste a big quilt.
You send an sms to a good friend and invite her for a glass of white vine and tell her to bring her basting needles.
Bjørg and I had a great time crawling around on the floor basting my Joy of Life quilt. And relaxing in between with white wine out on the porch. We are having some really hot summerdays here right now and it feels so good sitting out on the porch.
I am so happy I got help to baste this one. And now I look forward to start handquilting on it.Saying for today:
Keep smiling....
Make people wonder what your up too!

Your quilt top look wonderful. I can't wait to see it all quilted.
Pretty quilt!! I was in the same fix when I just realized it was May 31. Luckily I had just finished some little projects to post. I will be more on top of things for June. Thanks for hosting this great event.
The quilt is amazing May Britt...and what a sweet friend, nice to hear you are getting the heat as we are getting the cold.
I wish I could get down on the floor like that. I have a knee replacement and am not allowed to do that.
Your quilt is wonderful!
My back aches looking at those pictures of the basting process.
That is absoutely breath taking.....
Den blir bare flottere og flottere!. Jeg har lagt inn to prosjekter i margen min, det kommer flere straks.
I like your OPAM finish, its not that small, after all its a house!
Your quilt looks already great, quilting will make into a beauty!

Your quilt of life is absolutely beautiful! Great job!
Wow, this top is really pretty. And you are going to hand quilt it? I am sure it is going to be beautiful.
Jeg vet jeg gjentar meg selv, men den quilten er bare helt vidunderlig vakker!!! Du kommer til å kose deg masse med quiltinga på den vil jeg tro :o) Til og med gubben min synes teppet ditt er flott:o)
Selv om du ikke har mange ferdige prosjekter til mai, så skal du fryde deg over det du har gjort istedet for å sitte på syrommet;o) Jeg er så glad du deler alle de fine bildene fra møtet, og jeg er støtt og stadig innom og ser på de. Inspirasjon...Herlig:o)
Ha en flott start på juni, med lyse sommernetter og et glass vin på verandaen:o)

guaauuuuuuuuuu
Your little houses looks like something from "Lord of the Rings!" Your glass of wine...well, it's too bad we live so far apart, I'd watch you both quilt, share some wine, and encourage you, both ;)
At least you have a finish! I have a big zero for May. Your Joy of Life is so beautiful. Are you planning to hand quilt it?
Considering all the work you had for NQT, that should count for something! This Joy of Life quilt is beautiful - just like all your work! I love your little house!
Fantastisk flot Joy of Life! Kæmpe arbejde med al den applikation!! Det må være herligt at skulle i gang med at quilte den!
That is one beautiful quilt you are making there. Enjoy the quilting part of it!
Oh, your Joy of Life quilt is gorgeous and now comes the fun of quilting. I hope you will show how you prepare for hand quilting a full size quilt; that would be interesting.
WOW. Your Joy of Life quilt looks amazing. Nice to have help with the basting ... NOT my favourite job! Love the little house pin too.

A finish is a finish! I agree, a helper with all that basting is the way to go. It is stunning.
Olá amiga,bom dia.
Belissimo trabalho.Gostei muito.
abços.Richard.
Heehee! Cute finish for May :o)
Your Joy of Life is so pretty!! And it looks like you and Bjørg had some fun together basting - guess you're returning the favour for her? Are you planning to hand quilt this one? What are you basting it with? Renningsgarn?
Have a wonderful and creative weekend!
Top looks fabulous!!! It really does help to have help basting something that large. Good luck with the handquilting. I am a big handquilter too.

A finish is a finish!
Looks like you're really making progress on your Joy of Life quilt. It is wonderful.
Helt underbar, vilket jobb du har gjort!!
Det teppet var absolutt helt nydelig. Litt av et arbeid.
Beautiful quilt top. But it should have been a hard job to do it on the floor!
Hi May Britt! I received the little kit to make the house pin, too! I thnk I'll get going on it!
Your Joy of Life top is gorgeous! Great to have help to baste it!
I'll bet you're looking forward to the quilting process! All the best!
