When I came home and looked in my mailbox I really got a big surprise. A wonderful mailboxsurprise from Elin. She have visited USA and she had thought of me when she visited some quiltshops.
Look what she gave me. A Moda scrap bag and some fabric to sew stitchery on. I am so happy. Thank you so very much. I really apriciate it :)
I am doing my happy dancing now :) This weekend I finished Butterfly Garden. I brought it to the cabin and sewed down the binding . And today I hung it up in one of my bedrooms. I do not have so many big walls to hung such big quilts, so this is the only place for it.
Even thoug I have had so many "hate-moments" with this quilt, I really love it. But I have learned my lesson. No more BOM's from quiltshops that do not deliver at time, nor deliver all fabrics that are supposed to be in the package. I have my favorite quiltshops (both here in Norway and abroad) who I know deliver on time :) And I will buy from them.
I also finished the top on my Autumn Houses this weekend. Because of my bad left shoulder I have to take it very easy at the moment. Not to overdo my sewing. So I just relaxed with some applique this weekend. Now this quilt is ready for basting and quilting. This was going to be my focus project this summer, and even thoug Butterfly garden overtook the focus for a while, I manage to finish this top. Look forward to have it quilted on my wall.Take care and have a cosy sewing evening.

Dance on... and be proud!!! It is wonderful!!! :o) And the surprise... :o)) gorgeous..:O)
Oh you luckey girl. Two finishes- well almost...
Love both your new quilts.
Have a great evening - you deserve it. ;-)
You must be thrilled to have finished the butterfly quilt and the autumn top. They are both lovely. I must agree that it is terrible waiting for the next part of a BOM to arrive when ut's behind schedule. I have been working on several this year and tried to schedule time for each only to find that delivery delays and missing or incorrectly cut fabric interfered. I also have decided to stick with shops that I know I can trust to provide accurate kits in a timely manner.
They are both FABULOUS!!!
May Britt, your butterfly quilt looks just fantastic on your wall, I love it. All the problems you had with it will soon be forgotten!
WOW! Great Butterfly Garden! Vær kjempestolt at du er ferdig:-)

Kjempefine tepper begge to. Kan være kjempefornøyd nå. Og Butterfly Garden quilten var flott på veggen din.
Q-vitaminer er noe vi virkelig trenger og jeg har også vært så heldig å få en god dose denne helgen. Din Butterfly Garden tar seg nydelig ut på veggen. Autumn Houses blir også praktfull! To flotte quilter ferdig i løpet av kort tid! Bra jobba!
I hope your shoulder is better soon.

Good job! Love the quilt on the wall.

Lovely work in the quilts, you are a great perfectionist.
I also love Moda scrap bags.
