Progress on Nature Journey

P1090294

At the cabin last weekend I got time to do a lot of needleturn applique and stitching on my Natures Journey project.  This is a design by Annie Downs who is one of my favorite designers.

Progress so far is that I have finished the center block.

And several blocks.  They are so fun and fast to sew.  Love working on these blocks.

Still some blocks left to work on.  There is a few small ones that need to be made.

A quilt weekend at the cabin

P1090296

Thursday evening after work I went to the cabin at Evensberget to meet up with some other quilting friends. Four of them had already arrived wednesday, and I picked up another and came thursday evening.  Lots of projects in our bags, sewingmachines, good food and some wine. Met my neighbour when packing my stuff in the car, and he asked if I was moving LOL. But quilters always pack enough to be safe.

Sewingmachine on the table at once when I arrive. My goal was to do a lot of sewing on my triangle frame for my Phebe quilt.

One of the girls had brought with her a new ruler that was tested.

And some of the girls made these lovely tablerunners.  Think I have to try out this ruler one day.

Progress on my Phebe quilt

P1090267

During my Easter vacation I got a lot done on my Phebequilt.  My goal was to add the Ohio star blocks.  And when I first started to add the blocks it was fast and fun.  I reached my goal.

P1090268

Next frame in progress.  I traced the triangels to freezer paper, cut rows and started to sew.

P1090281

Two rows finished, two more to be done. Not to mention  that this triangle frame is repeated once more, so I still have four rows longer than these to sew.  Plus some other frames and ohio star blocks.  Still a lot of sewing to be done on this quilt.  But I am having fun.
