First section made... and

Lovely mail for me!!!

I love this magazine...
And sweet friend Colleen came to my rescue and bought me one copy!!!
I can dream myself away..and wish I was there...
shopping like a madwoman!!!

And she added a lovely blue piece of wool...
so now I can continue with my Wool Garden blocks...
you see I have to change the blue colour that followed with the BOM...
too dark for me... so this will be perfect ..I hope...

And a lovely pink homespun...and a JAM pattern for Christmas...
Love her patterns...

Thank You Colleen!!!

In the sewing room I have battled a war with fabrics to get my Swedish flag
finished for the first section of GCQ...
Its a scrappy one...
and not quite happy with how it turned out..
but sigh.. It stays like this until I know how it looks with all the other blocks...

Think I like my start with the quilt...
it will look so different from the other girls quilts... but that's one of the fun parts in making quilts...that all are not alike ...

Otherwise here in Sweden at my place ...
an expectant son and DH have started preparations for this years
big happening...
Wimbledon 2009..
at the backyard...

Improvements being made since last year...
painted lines this year...
and serve squares!!!
Ohhh.. they sure have some fun here!!!
Guess tournament starts this weekend!!!

Hope you all have a wonderful time out there..doing what you like..
and enjoy life!!!

ps... stay tuned.. I have done it again.. won some gorgeous giveaways...
three more...
Happy happy me...

Added a litte flower flag to celebrate this day!!!

Just sorry the weather is BORING!!!!
Cold, windy and rain and hail...
Could be better!!!
Finally went to my sewingroom...packed up my
sewingmachine from the sewingweekend...
and drag out some pale blue and yellow fabric...

Couldn´t be a better day to work on a flag..dont you think???

Arrived Friday afternoon at Marica by bus...
with a lot of packing...this time...pheewww!!!!

So much fun to runaway from home...

and started to sew and stitch...

Marica decided to work on her Tilda dolls...

Saturday came... and Cici joined us... she had light packing...
Stitcheries...smart girl!!!!
Marica worked on the dolls...
And I started to work on a secret project...

... after some applique.. I changed project...
The Garden Club Quilt...
I joined some very talented ladies
( Karen, Libby, Colleen, Kim, Beth, Yvonne and Jane) to make this quilt...
Have had the book since 2002.. fell completly for the gorgeous quilt...but
for some reason never made the quilt..
(does someone recognize themselves here... )
But now the quilt might be done..with a little help from friends!!!!
Thankyou ladies!!!
