This is what I have been working on the last week.
Last week I had to stay home (doctors order) with my bad hip. So being at home with orders to relax, do not walk much, keep my feet high.........what do a quilter do............... of course stitch, quilt, read quiltbooks, get inspired from blogs. So I concentrated on my "Grandmothers photoalbum" and managed to sew it together. But I struggled so much with putting it together. Don't you hate when the pattern is wrong. But using my math I made up my own version of this quilt and I am very pleased with it.
And now I have started to handquilt it. Want to have it finished before next thursday. My local quilt guild is celebrating 10th anniversary and are giving a big quilt exhibition. And it would be fun to have this hanging there too.
Well....back to quilting.............
Saying for today:
Remember the days blessings,
Forget the days troubles

wow May is really beautiful :)
Nydelig liten quilt - det er jo noe med rød og hvitt. Flott jobbet ! Håper du slipper mere tull med hoften din.... Ha det fint !
Oh my goodness! It is just lovely!
Så flott dette ble. Det er så delikat med rødt og hvitt. Håper det går bedre med hoften. Godt det ikke var skulderen. :-) Ha en fin kveld.
It's beautiful!!!
Oh I'm so sorry to read that your hip is still causing pain. Take good care. Delightful project.
Dette blir verkeleg fint!
I have never seen those embroidery designs. I really like them. So old fashioned looking. Love the cow. I don't have any idea what the words on the blocks say.
Those designs are new to my eyes...gorgeous!
Take care of yourself dear May!!
Love the quilt... I can't understand the words , but I know it must be sweet. Sorry about your hip.... what kind of hip issue do you have? I have bursitis that flares up from time to time and it hurts so much when it does! I hope you feel better.
What a beautiful quilt!! I love the stitchery designs. I can't wait to see how you quilt it.
Just beautiful, May Britt! I love redwork!
Hope you are feeling better soon.
I always enjoy your blog. This time you really out did your self. Beautiful pattern.
May I ask where you got it?
May Britt your quilt is lovely and I do hope your hip is better.
Lovely quilt, I hope you get the hand quilting done before the your little show. I hope your hip is improving!!
Your quilt looks gorgeous and I am so sure you will meet your goal!
I am looking forward to see the quilt in person :-)
This little quilt is wonderful! Best of luck on reaching your goal of finishing it - you can do it!
Wat a very beautiful quilt.
Looks so lovely...your personal twist to it is beautiful! Hope your hip is healing...nothing worse than being 'stuck' although it's often a blessing for us stitchers!
;o)
I ahve never written a pattern but it is very frustrating when there are mistakes.........
Hey May Britt! Glad to see your week at home resting hasn't been 'wasted'! Tee! Hee! Hee! You've done a gorgeous job on this nostalgic quilt - you must be really pleased - and something to pop on your OPAM list! :0) Hope your hip is happier after the week's rest too! Bear Hugs! KRIS

Lovely work May. Sorry to hear your health isn't good..hope you are better soon.
Many Blessings

Nydelig!
Så nydelig, jeg liker så godt rødt og hvitt. Synd du plages med hoften, men heldig at du hadde noe å holde på med.
Nøyaktig når og hvor har dere utstilling? Åpen for publikum vel? Kanskje jeg får med noen av "sysøstrene" på en tur...
Take care, May! I hope the resting does your hip some good. Your redwork is beautiful!
Den blir kjempeflott. godt jobba! Håper det går bedre med deg nå
Hand quilting an entire quilt before next Thursday? Hope you still have to stay home with your feet high1 I would never manage that...
Oh, I like this quilt very much. It's gorgeous. Keep up the good work and take care of yourself!
Beautiful quilt, very unusual, I have just posted my August finishes I know its too late for you but just wanted you to know & Im sorry I missed the due date :)
It is so frustrating when a pattern is wrong, but who would know looking at your gorgeous creation.
So sad to hear your hip is playing up again...do hope it gets better soon. Think of all the stitching you well get done while you are waiting for it to heal.
Take care thinking of you

Kjempefint! Og god bedring med hofta!
Whoawh så fin! Den gillar jag med alla fina broderier med text. Good Job!
Annika
Den ble kjempefin. Og kjenner jeg deg rett så blir du nok ferdig i tide til utstillingen.
This is a relly nice Redwork Quilt! You did very well.

Så nydelig den ble! Håper du får kosa deg litt med den i helga, og at formen er bedre.
Ha en fortsatt flott søndag,
Klem
