Don't let fear or common sense stop you from reaching for your goals!
The 2 last blocks done
Monday - the top is joined, borders and all.
Working on the quilting
Someone has to relax around here, while someone else is machine quilting.
I am testing mom's new basket - purr purr
Done, done, done :-)
I really like the outcome of this quilt!
In spite of the slowest delivery of kits ever !
In spite of fabrics lacking in most of the kits!
In spite of the pattern calling for joining of fabrics to make the borders and the kit packed accordingly. 60 cm (23") of each of the 2 border fabrics to make the long borders measuring over 60"…………
I love the joined effort several of us have done through blogland to get these blocks out in daylight again and make a quilt from them.
A special thanks to May Britt - we have pushed and pulled each other every day :-)
Lesson learned:
* Never again order BOM kits from overseas even if it is tempting!
Wait until the BOM comes as patterns only, or live without!
* Together we can do everything!

One more finish this week:

ReplyDeleteHey Hanne! Oh!! Your Butterfly Garden quilt is GORGEOUS!!! Well done to you and May Britt for finishing!

ReplyDeleteBoth quilts are beautiful. Congrats! I am glad you were able to work out all the issues you had with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts. My BG is coming along very slowly - Peg and I have been work on this quilt for a while, and thanks to you and May Britt we have been spending more time on it.
ReplyDeleteYou have inspired me to start my Butterfly Garden. I hope it looks as great as yours.
ReplyDeleteYour other finish is great too!
Congratulations on your Butterfly Garden finish - it looks fabulous! I'll be thrilled if mine looks half that good, thanks for the inspiration to get going on this at last.
ReplyDeleteGratulerer! Det gikk jo utrolig fort når du satte inn innspurten. Teppet ble kjempefint, og du kommer nok til å bli veldig glad i det, slik jeg er med mitt. Gratulerer også med Livsgledeteppet - nydelige fargekombinasjoner. Ha ei fortreffelig helg. Klem Bodil
ReplyDeleteWell done! I doubt many would finish such a troublesome project. However, I am not surprised that you did :) You are fearless! Love your design!!
ReplyDeleteHärligt jobbat!!!!
ReplyDeleteTvå fantastiska quiltar... men jag vill se mer av din!!!

Gratulerer! Kjempefint!!! Skal det stilles ut noe sted, i en butikk??? Skal du ha kurs i dette teppet???
ReplyDeleteVery BEAUTIFUL Hanne! Congratulations also on your finish :)
ReplyDeleteWell done. Butterfly Garden looks lovely. I like the quilt you designed yourself too. dommo
ReplyDeleteGratulerer med vel gjennomført bom, til tross for alle skjær i sjøen underveis. Og livsgleden din ble flott. hm - kanskje jeg skal finne fram symaskina her også
ReplyDeleteHi.
ReplyDeleteCongrats with the finish. It is beautifull.;-)
I know you have had some difficulty with the kits, but I don't think all the shops from abroad deserv a bad rumor ;-)
I got kits from Sarah at QFD and Lyn at Moore Ptchwork and Quilting and those girls are just great. They always send the kits in time and always enough fabrics. ;-)
Gratulerer!!!! Job well done! I'm not far behind you :) Finally..
ReplyDeleteAs for ordering BOM's.... Speaking for Australian shops, it was just that particular shop that has proved unreliable.
Ups.. I tell a lie -- I only got pattern from Lyn at Moore patchwork and Quilts..My kits come from Sarah at QFD. But I love both those shops-
ReplyDeleteAlways sending ordrers in time. If only every shop would learn from them :-)
We did it!!!! Butterfly garden is finished. And it feels sooooo good.
ReplyDeleteWonderful .... your Butterfly Garden is done and you can enjoy it now ... great challenge amongst friends can do wonders!
ReplyDeleteSorry you had so many troubles with your BOM, but the end result is just lovely so it looks like you were clever enough to figure it all out. Your other quilt is nice too with your own personal stitcheries. You are so good at combining quilting and stitchery! Cheers! Evelyn
