Diverse smått og stort

I det siste har jeg bare holdt på med litt småtteri, samtidig som jeg har planlagt og klargjort et noe større prosjekt. Småtteriet består av disse myntpungene som det var mønster til i QM nr. 5/07. Jeg har brukt restestoffer, og prøvde meg først på originalmønsteret.

Jeg likte ikke helt fasongen og størrelsen, og tegnet om mønsteret. Da sydde jeg de to sorte, og denne modellen ble betydelig bedre, en passelig størrelse for lomma osv.

Brilleetuiet mitt var gått i stykker, og jeg prøvde meg på et brilleetui etter modell av denne myntpungen. Det fungerer greit, og det originale etuiet gikk i søpla da henglene var helt ødelagt.

In this post I will write in english to explain the next pictures. My mother is going to be 70 years old in the beginning of April. I know that she use her laptop at the internet, but I don't know if she is here around in my blog for looking. But one thing I am shore about, is that she doesn't read and speak english. So then I can write in english about this.

She is going to celebrate the birthday with a lot of relatives and friends. Her 4 children, thought that it was difficult to find her a nice present, but we have agreed about someting. Then it is her 10 grandchildren, what should we buy from them?

I had this beautiful fabric from Katrines Quiltestue in Oslo, 13 fat quarters, in lovely colours and flowers. I wanted to use them for a gift for her in a quilt she could use when she was sleeping after dinner, and my brother and sisters were trilled about the idea. Every one of the grandchildren should make a drawing for their grandmother, and then I should transfere it to the fabric. I had to buy some fabric to the bordres, and the back of the quilt, but that is all.

now I have finished the transfering at 7 blocks. The last 3 drawings I have not received yet, but I think it will come during this week. I have started the stitching on the drawing from the youngest grandchild. I think the work will be just nice.

This evening I had to make me a bag for all the blocks, so it wouldn't be dusty until it is finished.

I will try to show you the blocks bit by bit until the quilt is finished. And so I hope you'll understand my english, it is a long time since I have written it. I find it a bit difficult because I have forgotten a lot of the word.

Then have a nice week everyone of you.
