winner from the june give away

Hi,
I had a wonderful day with my grandson today. We have beautiful weather and we spend some time at the play ground and went to eat ice creme. Just droped him of at home with his mom and dad.

not much getting done this week. The weather was just to darn nice to spend it behind a sewing machine.
I finished a litte bag as I needed for a gift.

and then, do you remember my Kaleidoscope quilt Im working on when I meet with the girls once a month.
I pieced it together and all it needs now is a border.
I think its to busy and next time I will use a bigger print. But it will be a nice table top.

and now to announce the winner from the June give away.
the random number generator picked number 2

congratulations Jean, would you email me your snail trail adress and I be sending it out. 


you all have a wonderful weekend and if you did not win this time - come back on the 31th of July and try again.

Another finish, Darlene's Mystery and other on going things

First I want to show you my finished Quilt I did from the 4 1/2" squares that I talked about before 

I thing it turned out great.

I worked on that Quilt with my Quilting group once a month. We are 6 Girls and we each take turn in hosting the event at the house.

Hubby always says it's not a quilting bee but a eating bee. Since there is cake and dinner. Its always a wonderful day. That's for sure.

This is what I'm working on now with the group.A kaleidoscope Quilt.

I bought the fabric for this Quilt already about 3 years ago. I guess its time to work on it.

In order to save some money on shipping  cost we ordered some batting together, all together 80 Meters. So on Thursday when I got home from work Hubby said " You got mail, I put its in the sewing room"

When I got to  the sewing room ( which is just a small and very packed room, lol) there was this Hugh box. The side was already cracked and

Bulged. To bad I do not have a  picture of that.

I'm like " yeah the batting is here" I took the knife and cut the top of the box, and the box started to have a life of its own.

Pfff , peng, plop, psssssssd, the  sides of the box tore apart and out came a roll of batting wrapped in plastic that the air had been squeezed out off and started to fill up again .( like a jack in the box)  I'm laughing just writing this but I guess you had to be there to visualize the ongoing . Lol

Well , all of the sudden my sewing room was even smaller. Lol

Here is a picturer with the batting 

And here is the batting getting ready to be cut for everyone. 

I guess next time it be someone else's turn to order. Lol

Then I finished part 3 from Darlene's Mystery. I changed the applique border a bit more to my liking. I used a water glass for the template of the flower and a small thread cone for the flower buds. The leafs I just pencilled. I'm happy with my border.

So and then I'm working on Jean's snake dance mystery.

There I'm on clue 5. But I wont show any pictures jet because I do not want to spoil the surprise because there are more groups working on this mystery on a different times scale. But hop on over to Jean's Blog to find out more.

And I finished my last row for the row swap at the  popular patchwork

Forum, and as soon as my last row gets here I also will show you some pictures.

You all have a great Sunday.

Lots of hugs

Kerstin
