Jackie at Canton Village Quilt Works has tagged me for the "7 random things" game. I have played along a few times before, so I might be repeating myself here....
1. I love to bake and cook. I constantly search for new receipes on the web, and I own quite a few cookbooks.
2. In college I took bowling and waterskiing for my PE credits.
3. My first job ever was at a fabric shop (I started working Saturdays when I was 14)
4. I love birds, we had a goofy parrot (red lori) in Florida. His name was Alex, and he was a riot- he talked up a storm, and loved taking showers.
5. Now we have to bunnies- Snipp and Snapp. They are 4 years old and live outside year round. They love to be cuddled and the kids like to take the on walks around the yard.
Hope I didn't bore you to death there... If you want to play, consider yourself tagged!
On to other business; yesterday was a good day for some finishes. First off, I finished the Schoolhouse sampler from Cinderberry Stitches. Then I started sewing these two pencil cases. One for Ola, and one for a friend of Sigve, who asked me ever so politely if I could please make him a pencil case like Sigve had. Now who can resist a 10 year old asking so nicely for something home made? His initial is also "O", that is why there is an O on both cases.
Then last night I continued with the binding on my summerquilt, I finished the last side this morning before going to work, and I figured I'd take some pictures of in in the yard. Now you can see it will be a while before I can enjoy it as a picnic blanket.... I'd be happy to share some of this snow with y'all!!
Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for reading!
Nå imponerer du! Legge inn i bloggen 2 dager på rad i tillegg til alt du har gjort som du viser fram. Nydelig arbeid. God helg. Anne

ReplyDeleteThanks anyway, but you can keep your snow. The quilt is beautiful, and actually, the snow makes a fantastic backdrop for it! I bowled for credit in college, too!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the quilt in the snow. Looks like your spreading warmth to melt that snow and bring spring just a bit earlier.
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful handwork. The wuilt is so springsy even on the snow (melt melt).Love the pencil cases, really nice your a great MOM. Can't wait to see you!Marie
ReplyDeleteThe Summer quilt is beautiful. The snow makes a perfect backdrop nd yes, summer looks a long way away.
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering to share, but I'll pass on the snow. Spring has been flirting with us here and I think I'll hang on to the promise that it will stick around soon. This weekend we are forecast for low 30's once again and I even heard those dreaded words snow flurries mentioned on TV weather...oh my.
ReplyDeleteYour stitchery is so nice! Your quilt is too cold, and must be brought inside before it freezes! It is a SUMMER quilt! :) hehehe!
ReplyDeleteLove the pencil case.
ReplyDeleteThat sampler is really cute and wonderful pencil cases. Your quilt looks so pretty laid out on the snow. I hate to tell you but is was 90 degrees here today. I'll try to send you some warmth!!
ReplyDeleteYour summery quilt looks stunning! Love the pensil cases you made for the O boys!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!! Wow you still have a lot of snow! I love both your quilt and your pencil cases. I hope that the snow melts soon and you get some warmer weather soon.
ReplyDeleteI really like the schoolhouse sampler you made.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I enjoyed seeing photos of your shop in your previous posting.
Are you getting anxious for your trip?
Oh, the quilt looks so lovely on the snow ..... thanks, but no thanks ..... we just got rid of our snow a couple of weeks ago.
