Hi there...
Still here...
More colds have been going around here..
Viktor mostly this time...
Hope for some change soon....
Getting pretty tired of being sick...
So I am desperately looking for signs of spring everywhere.. and this is what
was happening on my little street today!!
So much snow on the streets that they are too narrow
so snow has to go... before it starts to melt....
And this is what they have come up with..
never seen it before..
Spring is coming..... :o)
And still some are working on my hearts...
Julie at JulieKQuilts
did this cute wallhanging...
did this cute wallhanging...
Thanks for showing Julie... :o)
Sewing have been done...
in between everything...
Not the things I had hoped for ... but I started My Schnibble
for this month
"Roundabout"
I decided to work with a charmpack and one Jelly roll..
So I started with enlarging the pattern so I could use the strips
in the Jelly Roll...
Edit:
Fabric line = Porcelaine
But when progress came along I knew I had to make the quilt a little bit different...
Larger YES...
wanted a lap quilt for me..
Just for me!!!
The fabrics were to busy to be together.. so I added sashings...
and used the solid strips in the Jelly cut in to squares in between....
So this is the result for my Roundabout
that became a
"Turnabout"
Sometimes a girl has to do what ever pleases her... :o)
So I am a little bit sorry for not sticking to the pattern...
but happy that I didn´t ...:o)
This weekend was to be spent with my quiltingfriends
"Kviltarna"
but it seems like I won´t be able to go..
Lars is working extra...
and Viktor is sick...
Well.. maybe it will all solve.. haven´t quite given up just yet...
Otherwise I will be here by my sewing machine this weekend!!
See you!!
OOOpss..
almost forgot...
Over and out from a still very wintry
Sweden!
A few weeks ago we had a bunch of snow hauled out too... now it is all gone, so hopefully your will be too.
ReplyDeleteI love your schnibble and the fabrics you used, it is such a calming pallette.
Love your spring cleaning pictures! I had to show my son! We had more snow last night but the sun is out today and I'm hoping it all melts! Love your Schnibbles too! It's beautiful! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your lap quilt, such soft peaceful fabrics and colours. Hoping your Spring is just around the corner for you.
ReplyDeleteHi there, love your lap quilt its so calm,peaceful and has a vintage look about it,l love it !!!!
ReplyDeleteSue....
I like your adaptation of the Schnibbles. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo much snow still for you!!! Come on spring!!!
ReplyDeleteYour Roundabout looks fabulous as a big quilt. You will get a lot of use out of it.
Oh Stina I love your "Roundabout-Turnabout". It has a delightful soft vintage look. What line of fabrics is that?
ReplyDeleteHi Stina, sorry about all the bugs going around your house... humm. you are right: not a good sign of Spring if the Snow-plows are in full force on your street! But I think your turnabout quilt is LOVELY. Soft and cuddle and just right!
ReplyDeletegreetings from Cyprus,
Valentina
Wonderful work :) I really hope that you can come this weekend and sew with us :))
ReplyDeleteTake care and lots of hugs to Viktor and you...
In my french village too, we had snow again this morning !!!
ReplyDeleteI really love your version of this month Schnibbles, beautiful.
Now that is some snow removal.
ReplyDeleteHope Viktor gets well soon and everything works out to allow you sewing time with friends. Your Schnibble is lovely. I'm not very good at sticking to a pattern so I'm glad you were rebelious too. It worked out great!
OMGosh! You've still got BIG snow! We have no snow and spring weather...I'm sending it your way right this minute so you can open those windows and clear the cold bugs out of the house. Good that you maintain your sense of humor and creativity. Love what you did with Roundabout. Isn't Julies quilt wonderful?! So many talented quilters in this world. :-D
ReplyDeleteStina, I don't know that I could live with all that snow, but it all comes down to where you were raised. Love you lap quilt, it turned out great and useful.
ReplyDeleteYour just going to have to come to all our blogs and set them up for us.
LOVE that turnabout quilt Stina! It's very cool! And Holy Cow! You KNOW you have a lot of snow when they have to remove it like that! I saw something very similar a million years ago when we were visiting Moscow in a February -- but I've never seen it again since. Until now!
ReplyDeleteDin quilt "Turnabout" ble flott!
ReplyDeleteHåper du kommer deg avgårde til treff; slike sammenkomster er jo kjempetrivelige.
Ønsker deg og dine ei riktig god påske! Her har det snødd tett store deler av dagen, og man kan bare drømme om vår :-)
Love, love, love your turnabout quilt! The colors are beautiful. I think it is great to do what pleases you and let your creative juices flow! Hope you will see SPRING soon!
ReplyDeleteLove your turnabout quilt and the fabrics that you have used...just lovely!
ReplyDeleteLove the font you've used on your pictures..any chance you can remember the name of it?

ReplyDeleteHi Stina!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is looking absolutely adorable...you take the time to make a wonderful presentation and it is a joy to visit!
Roundabout gone Turnabout...APPLAUSE to you for that one!
Hi Stina. I hope you get some sunshine soon to kill all those bugs.
ReplyDeleteYour schnibbles quilt is beautiful. I love the fabric and the look it gives by adding the sashings.
I love your "turnabout"!! So pretty in the pastels :)

Love your Turnabout! It is perfect for you. What an odd way to get rid of snow! I'm sure it works though.
ReplyDeleteOh my, so much snow...no wonder you are so looking forward to Spring...hopefully some Spring sunshine will chase those nasty buggies away. Love your Schnibble - very pretty.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW Stina ... I LOVE what you did with your Schnibble. I have trouble following instructions exactly too ... but nice to individualise our projects a bit I think.
ReplyDeleteHope you all get over your colds soon ... I'm going for my swine flu vaccination on Monday. Don't want another dose of that this year!!
PS Those snow machines look awesome. You must be so ready for Spring!
The snow is finally starting to melt down here. I am so tired of the winter, I want spring and summer.
ReplyDeleteLove your Scnibbles quilt and understand why it became a turnabout, think those blocks are addictive :)
Keep your feet warm and hope you feel better soon. Got a nasty cold myself now and will stay inside sewing whole easter.
You need sunshine, I'll wish for some for you. I love the lap quilt, it's just beautiful and so are the fabrics you used.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your turnabout quilt!!!! It is a beauty. Hope all are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Barb
