Top finished and finished a shirt for myself

Yesterday I finished the top of Good Fortune, which is a schnibble, also doubled it already. Now just to decide to let my mother quilt it by hand or me by machine.

Saturday I picked up my new locker at my parents (Huskylock S15) and yesterday I started my first project and I am very happy with it. I see I didn't dress myself up properly in my neck. It is the Svea from farbenmix.

stashbusting report week 28

Well not a very good week as a fattquarterbundle from Roses the noel came in, the finishing kit and backing for the mysterie designer BOM 2009 and the first block. So that was not good at all, but well for the coming weeks nothing will come in as I haven't punched any buttons and won't push them for a while. I already made the first block of the BOM and probaly next week will the second block come in. Also next week I have a backing to bust as Good Fortune is almost done and hope to have it done today.
And than I have to decided to start a new quilt or work a bit on one of the oldies
Also finished the spring fling round robin for ... Will go on it's way this week.

Progress..

on my quilts. A pic of Good Fortune so far. I just love sewing Carrie her patterns. They are very clear and easy to follow. Those two little stars were sewn so fast. Hope to do some more stars tonight. After this one is finished I think I will start one of her bigger ones, maybe 40 T.

Also a pic of the first BOM block of the mysterie designer BOM. Just love seeing these big blocks (12") but I know I am better in the little ones as the little stars are near to perfect, the big ones aren't.

Than everyone in blogland shows the first quilt they have made and for me it is the poppie one you see here. I would never say to anyone to do this as a first quilt, but I survived.

Already a few days back from vacation...

but I was a bit to tires to post anything. Life is back to the normal. Sunday at 3 in the afternoon we were back at home and monday work started again. So I was busy busy busy and just to tired to do a lot when I came home. Yesterday got a phonecall from my mother that they have my new overlocker from Husqvarna. I am thinking of picking it up on saturday so in the weekend I can do a bit of practise on it. I look really forward to that.

The PO box had some nice packages in it for me from the fatquartershop and I just had to roll in my new stash on monday. I already have sewn the first block of the designer mysterie BOM and I have to say great instructions. Next for me to finish is the spring fling round robin and than I will finish a little schnibble I am working on and want to have finished so I can go and quilt it. I am thinking of putting my machine in quiltingmode soon as I want to finish a few quilts including my big romantic strip quilt. Have to get that WIP/UFO count get down a lot.

No finish at all

I was just thinking about it and just realised that I didn't have any finish at all, but I have two almost ready, they will be ready next week for sure as there is only a bit of binding left to do on it.

Also got some good news from my mother, she got a very good offer for a new sewing machine and she asked also for a overlocker for me and got a great deal, so you know what I will be doing after the vacation. Yeah you are right sewing a lot of cloths. I am sure my brother and SIL will be happy with th cloths I have planned for my niece.
