Finally Fabulous Finishes!!

Wow, April already. This time with pictures to show!! I figured out the camera. It was a good thing it was simple to use. The instructions and the camera are in Swedish (it was my uncle's camera) and I've packed my Swedish/English dictionary.

This month, I'll count any and all finishes as bonuses and my only real goals are to pack. 3 weeks and counting!!!! :)

The first picture is my sewing area. It's a little corner of the living room. You can see it beside the sofa and yes, it has also been known to double as the kitchen table. :)

This next picture is the top of mormor's blommar. It's quite a long table runner but my grandmother has quite a long sideboard.


These last two pictures are the front and back of the snails trails quilt I finished. Though all the guild members are probably sick of seeing it by now.... (Yes, I piece backs when I don't have enough leftovers to make a whole back. It's my method of stash busting.) They're backwards, so you get to see the back first.

Mormor's Blommar

I've been working away on Mormor's Blommar. This started off as an I'd like to try English paper piecing and has now morphed it's way into a table runner. I'm planning on visiting my Grandmother this year and this is intended as a present for her. (If I finish it in time!)

I finished the green flower! So now I just have the purple and blue flower and the mortar inbetween them. Then the top is done!

Once I figure out the picture thing, I'll start posting pics.

The title Mormor's Blommar translates to 'Grandmother's flowers'. I thought it appropriate given it's the Grandmother flower garden design.
