The Baby Quilt is finished and other things

I told you all I post a picture of the finished Baby Quilt.
I finished the binding so here it is. Just waiting for the Baby
now. lol. But we still have until the end of July.

The Underground rail road sampler is finished also.
Gee I been good. lol. Once I knew how to set the blocks it
just went like a breeze. 

thats how I quilted it

on top of that, I had a great long weekend. Today was a German Holiday.
May Day

With a Germany on-line group I sewed into the first of May.
It was great. Just knowing that a bunch of people
sew the same thing.A Table topper. We decided to do the Japanese Puzzle.
It was great to be able to chat about the sewing and problems during sewing
and help each other out.
I got as far as finishing the top.
so here is a sneak preview

hope to get it quilted soon. I used all the left over fabric I had
from the Japanese Garden.

ok thats it for now. I hope you all have a great week

what I have been up to

I finished quilting the Baby Quilt. I still have to hand sew down the binding.
After that is done I show a picture. So you still have to give me a day or two.

Than I tried my hand on embroidering (took a class at the Quilt-university)

I finished a Dragonfly. But what to do with the Dragonfly?

Since I needed a B-day Gift I turned it in to a Post card.

 
Also made this little cosmetic bag with inside pockets.

The receiver of the B-day Gift enjoyed her gifts, so i was a happy Camper.

Today I decided to work on my Blocks from the underground rail road sampler.
Tessa a member from the popular patchwork forum started this one in 2010.
I think. Every month she posted a name of one block with the story to it.
We had to get a pattern for that block and sew it up for our self.
It was much fun.
But like so many things with me they end up in a box on the UFO shelf.
Well today this box came down and I started to work on it. yeahh.
here is a picture from the blocks on my design wall. My sewing room is
real small, so I could not get a good picture. But I hope you see enough to get a glance at the blocks.

and thats how far I got today. 

you all have a great Sunday.

hugs Kerstin

I'm a Winner!!!

Yeahhhh.

Already in October I won at Cyndis Blog. You can read about it here.

Gee this was my first time ever to win in a Blog Give away.

I feel bad for not posting about it early. My only excuse is the time, it's running through my fingers. I wish I could find the switch to turn the running time off. Lol

Well yesterday when I got home from work there was a package waiting for me. 

 

What a highlight for that day.

It was Cyndis Package.

How much fun to open and find all the goodies Cyndi added on top of the book and the 25$ gift certificate that I had won.

 

You are the greatest Cyndi. Thank you so much!!

 

 

 

Than I did win the fav. Block swap,from a small yahoo group I'm in,

all the blocks made it to Germany.

So here is a picture of all the blocks I received. Aint they all great. 

 

All I need know is time.

The only sewing I got done is my block for the Underground Railroad Sampler

The sailboat .

 

And a small bag for my little steam iron.

 

I got the iron last year and I love it. Its great to take along. But I needed something to put it in, if its still warm. So I lined the inside of the bag with heat resistant fabric. 

 

So, I got nothing else to show or tell. I'm off to the kitchen to fix my self a cup of tea and than I'm going to lay on my couch enjoy my new book.

Lots of hugs

Kerstin
