What A wonderful Day...

I have had a wonderful morning ...have been able to sew. ;D ... Have been so tired this week...so
my thoughts were that I never could or would sew again... a disaster!! But after one days rest I happily padded my quilting friend ( my pfaff) and said: -Hej....vill du leka idag ? -Hey...do you want to play today? And we had a ball... I almost finished my Carolina Crossroads top... Have the corners and the borders still undone...need time to think how I will continue. I made my top rectangular...and got one star block left...Don´t know what will become of that one...and I do have some nine patches and railfence blocks left tooo..
I love the way my CC become... it´s really soft and pale... It looks so blue in the winterlight outside...much warmer colours indoors...
Next weekend I´m going to Örnsköldsvik for a quilting course with Anne-Pia Godske Rasmussen and I really need to pack for that weekend. Have been looking through my stash...and ...I do NOT have enogh fabric....;D I think... So now I have to figure out a way to solve that problem....... - Maybe some more...Ohh no ...not more fabric....;D

Steg 4.../ Step 4

En steg till gjort!!! Börjar komma ikapp lite och det känns gott... Har nu steg 5 kvar...och då skulle jag ju haft den fiffiga linjalen som fortfarande är i Californien...får se om jag gör dem i alla fall. Alla tyger ligger ju redan och väntar i en "organiserad" röra. Gissar att Bonnie skickar del 6 ikväll eller imorgon!!
One more step on the way..feels wonderful...catching up step by step...pheew... Just one step behind ...number 5 and I´am without that magic ruler!!! I might do them anyway in another way..more timeconsuming...but I´m not the most person to be concearned about that!! ;D Still got my fabrics all around my sewingroom in some sort of organized mess...so it feels better to cut out the pieces now...instead of waiting for the ruler ...which is a couple of weeks away..Eagerly waiting for Bonnies posting on clue 6...maybe tonight or tomorrow.

Step 3 finished!!

Catching up ladies!! It feels good to make one step a day now so I can be more prepared on Thursday when Bonnie puts up step 6... So I am not quite there yet...two more clues to go...pheew... Hope to make at least step 4...cause I haven´t got my ruler yet...it is somewhere in California for the moment...with Louise... I am a "bit" jealous of her who is "Over there" and having a wonderful time!! I wish it would have been me!! Have a VERY good time Louise!! And think of me ;D...now you can see what kind of fabric I´m running out on!!! ;D
Step 3 More Nine Patches

Carolina Crossroads...

Äntligen....nu är jag på gång...har nu börjat att sy på Quiltvilles Mystery Challenge..."Carolina Crossroads"!!! Har hunnit att sy om mina rail fences...gjorde först i rosa, grönt och blått och tänkte lägga dit beige...Men tyckte att det blev alldeles för lika det jag gjort nyss och tänkte att jag måste utmana mig till att använda den blå högen i syskåpet!! Är bara en himla massa steg bakom...pust... Men har nu gjort mina Rail Fences ... och en del niorutor...
Steg 1/Step 1 Rail Fence
Steg2/ Step 2 Nine patch

Finally...at last ...I have started on Quiltvilles Mystery challenge "Carolina Crossroads"!!! Taadammm... I´m way behind...but here I come...hope to do some more the next days.
I have redone my railfences..I changed colour...;D Started with soft greens, pink, blue and beige...but thougt it looked much the same as I always end up with...so I challenged myself a bit further and took out the green ones. And said ...Stina USE you blue fabric!!! And this it it!!
