A scrapquilt in a day

Hi,

Yesterday I made this scrapquilt of my scraps and think it looks really nice! I am so happy that I finally found something to do with the scraps and now have more room for new scraps again..!




On Thursday I made this sampler for a class that I will be having next weekend. It is a small class for a friend and my MIL. But it is going to be a lott of fun! I have taken time on how long it takes to finish it, so I hope they will be able to do it in a weekend. I have tried to get all elements in. First Irish Chain for the strip piecing technique. Second logcabin blocks to learn the paperpiecing technique. Third Applique by machine. Forth a block called beginners delight to learn HStriangles. I made it from my reproduction scraps.


As I wrote last week I finished my kaleidoscope quilt...or stack and wack-quilt. I quilted it by hand...here are some pics:





Today I have been quilting the surprise quilt, nr one on my to-do-list, so only the binding left. I am so looking forward to showing you it, but you'll have to wait a bit longer! But I was aloud to borrow my friends Helena's machine. Her machine has an extra large space for the "arm of the machine" so it gives you more space to turn the quilt.
But she also had a really nice present for me...a nice sewingbox..


So you can see I had a great weekend!

Bye!
