Remember me?

It's been ages since my last blog post, and I guess it's about time to join Blogland again. Just needed a break. 

I have been lurking around in Blogland now and then, but couldn't keep up with the blogs I follow. I will leave comments as I lurk around again :o)

Haven't been in my sewing room much since my last blog post, so I have nothing finished to show you. Today I finally had the urge to play with some fabrics again. It felt so good!!! Hopefully my sewing mojo is back again!!!

I should have been working on some of my WISP's, but decided to start on TWO new quilts. Yep...TWO. I finished my oldest heartie's quilt last year, and my two youngest hearties have none... so I just felt it was about time I made a quilt for them too :o) 

I'm making the same quilt like I made for my oldest. I just love how fast the block pile grows, and I love the scrappy look on it. If you want to see what the first quilt looks like, you can see it here.

It's the "Comfort quilt" by Leanne Beasley. I have loved this quilt since I first saw the sneak peek a long time ago :o)

This is the fabrics I've cut and pieced so far:

One of the reasons I was pretty occupied in May, was because of my two youngest hearties' big event. We celebrated their Confirmation 12th of May, and it was such a perfect day! Can't figure out how they could grow up so fast! My three boys are all such handsome young men, and I'm so proud of them! 

The boys are enjoying their Summer Holidays, and I'm having my second week off work too. The weather haven't been anything like Summer, but we had sun today. Finally!!!


I will get back to my piecing and cutting later tonight, and hope to finish up a nice pile of blocks. Maybe there will be a new blog post soon again ;o)


 

A beautiful day :o)

It's been such a beautiful day today! Hubby, our two youngest and I had a great time with my brother and his kids today. We took a walk through the forrest to a place we've been going to since me and my brother where kids. The little lake was still covered with ice, but since we brought our fishing gear, we tried to catch some fish. We didn't get any fish, but we enjoyed the day by the fire, drinking coffeè and grilling hot dogs on the fire. It was so cozy! I love days like this! This is what I call quality time!

Piece and quiet... that is so nice. And to sit by the fire chatting and laughing... Love it!

I've bought myself a new toy, a Nikon camera, and of course I had to take some photos :o) I'm not used to this type of camera, so I've been playing some with it these days, and also went to a little "photo safari" with my oldest son yesterday. He has been teaching me a lot, and he is still patient when I come to get advice about "good photos".

When we got home today, I was so tired and just wanted to take a nap, but I figured out I should do some progress on the table runner I've been working on instead. I'm so glad I did!
I got to finish the applique part, so now the only thing missing, is the binding :o)


Think I'll leave that till tomorrow. Now I really have to jump to bed! With that overdose of fresh air, I cannot stay awake any longer :o) Tired, but oh! so happy :o)

Wish you all a great Sunday, and happy sewing :o)
