The other day I got an SMS from Bjørg asking me how far I had come on my Antique Sampler homework
Eh……Antique Sampler…….do I have this project……..eh………perhaps hidden in a box……………..and forgotten……………..
Several months since I have been working on this project. The box have been stored in my sewingroom shelf, not out of sight, so that’s no excuse for not working on this project.
Now I will have focus on this project for a while because there is still a lot to sew.
Spending time in my sewingroom today tracing the circles left to applique.
To make the circles perfect I have made a plastic template as big as the block and cut out the circle. Then it is easy to lay it up on the fabric and just trace the circle.
It is fun working on the Antique Sampler again.
And this is what I have finished so far. 24 cirkles.
And the six main blocks. I am not doing the big quilt which has 9 main blocks, just a smaller version of it.
Now, back in the sewing room watching Downtown Abbey on my computer while prepping more blocks.
Saying for today:
My soul is fed with needle and thread

Eg er imponert over dokke som set i gang med desse vakre quiltane, med så mykje arbeid på!
Dei er og blir nydelege, men for eit tolmodsarbeid!
Ha gode handarbeidsstunder!
WOW! For noen flotte blokker! Nyt søm og drøm i romjula, og ønsker deg et riktig Godt Nyttår! Tenk deg da, et helt nytt år, med blanke ark. Jeg gleder meg :o)
Klem
It's looking good!!!
This is a very nice pattern Aby, I love all these circles !
Yes! I caught a few episodes of this for the first time during the holidays. I loved it, and tv doesn't usually hook me in. I will have to look for this on line to see if I can watch the whole thing.
Very nice, great job ...I do like the fabric combos...
Thank you for showing your work in progress. My husband gave me the kit for Christmas and I am itching to start. Your quilt will be beautiful.
As always I enjoy your blog - I really look forward to your posts. And seeing that I am a faithful follower, I'm wondering if you still have Ruskin as I haven't seen him in a while. Regards, Gail in Canada
Its looking good - cant wait to see it finished!

Kjempefine blokker. Gleder meg til å se fortsettelsen (for de havner vel ikke i boksen igjen...)
Glad you remembered this quilt, it is so nice! I loved watching Downton Abbey!

I love Downton Abbey. It's a wonderful show and it's nice to see your antique quilt progress.
