Craftsy BOM 2012 klar / Craftsy BOM 2012 done

Nu har jag kviltat, sytt ihop blocken och tvättat täcket som jag sytt enligt två internetkurser på
Craftsy , dels gratis kursen BOM 2012 och sedan kurs i frihandskviltning, där vi lärde oss olika tekniker av den fantastiska Leah Day. Den sista kursen kostade ca 300 kronor, men den var värd varenda krona.
I have now finished my quilt according to two classes on Craftsy , the first one BOM 2012 which is free and the quilting of the BOM in a class where Leah Day is the teacher, and this class is worth every penny. I have loved to sew according to both classes and I have learned so much, especially FMQ.

It´s all about me - Finally my day

It´s all about me - Finally my day

I will first of all give a  thank you  to madame Samm, the lovely cheer leader Marlene and the pattern designer Amy Bradley for making all this come through .

My name is Britt-Inger. I live in the south of Sweden and have been retired in one year now. Oh what time flies.

After   I have received the pattern from Amy Bradley I got many thoughts of how to personalize the pattern to  be a woman   like me. I had  the pattern  enlarged with 50 %  to get a size I wanted. 

I had to changed  the figure  and choose a hair style  with curls, as I have been lucky to have natural curls in my hair. 

As I seldom use sun glasses, I decided to have my normal glasses and let me look down.

My favorite colors are purple and green, mostly lime green, so that´s why I have a lime green dress and with a background in purple color.

My favorite fabric is designed Kaffe Fasset and so is the fabric  that I have choosen to use in my small quilt.

I love birds and I have two pet birds, two  male cockatiels, named Knut and Sixten. The grey is Knut, he is the old one, 16 years and Sixten is five years old. And it is not hard to guess who is the boss in the cage.

Sixten and Knut

And here is the picture of me, with curly hair and Sixten and Knut on my shoulders. I love birds as you could see on my picture. 

And as I love brooches I have also made me  a flower brooch.

Me and my birds

And here is a picture of me IR

Craftsy BOM 2012

Nu har jag kviltat alla blocken med mellanremsor och det är totalt 20 block
Här är först bild på nio av blocken, där man kan se kvltningen av mellanremsorna.
I have finished all the quilting including the sashings of the 20 blocks. Here are nine of the blocks,where you could see the sashings.

Nedan är högen med kviltade block. De skall sys samman med remsor och det blir ett jobb när jag skall vara papegoj och hundvakt.
Here is the heap with quilted blocks. Next step is to sew them together with black strips. A job when I am dog and parrot sitting for my brothers animals.

Sju sista blocken / Seven last blocks on Craftsy BOM

Nu har jag kviltat de sista blocken på Craftsy BOM 2012. Det har varit väldigt kul att kvilta och kursen är bara så bra. Nu återstår att kvilta mellanremsorna, skära rent blocken och sedan sy ihop alla till ett täcke.
Här kommer bilder på de sista blocken.

I have now quilted all the remaing blocks of Craftsy BOM 2012. It has been very fun to participate in the class on Craftsy and Leah Day is a splendid teacher.
Next to do is to quilt the sashings  of the blocks and then  cut each block  to the same size a  14 inch square, before putting them together to a quilt.  

Tygarmband/ Fabric bracelet

Kviltföreningen Rikstäcket skall deltaga på Stora Symässan i Malmö med workshop. Vi kommer att visa hur man syr tygarmband av batiklappar och utsmyckade med lite bling bling. I helgen sydde Karin och jag var sitt armband, eftersom mässarrangören ville ha bilder på vad vi skulle visa.
Här är en bild på mitt armband
My friend  Karin and I have been busy sewing fabric bracelets during yesterday, as our Swedish quiltguild will have a workshop during a textile event in the middle of March. It was so fun making them and I think they turned out very lovely.
Below is a picture of my bracelet

Ytterligare block kviltade / Three more blocks quilted

I dag har jag kviltat ytterligare tre block. Jättekul, men ganska ansträngande. Men som man säger övning ger färdighet och jag tycker att det har blivit bättre.
Här är de block 11-13, återstår sju block att kvilta.
I have today quilted three more blocks, no 11-13. Seven more blocks to go.
It is fun, but I think quite difficult. But the quilting has been better and the only way to learn is to exercise.

Fler block kviltade / More quilted blocks

Nu har jag varit flitig och kviltat ännu fler block. Nu har jag totalt tio klara och har alltså kommit halvvägs. Jag håller på med den del som behandlar att kvilta fjädrar på fri hand och det är verkligen inte lätt. Men som allting annat är det övning som ger färdighet.
Här kommer bilder på de senaste fyra blocken

I have been busy with my Craftsy blocks and four more blocks are done. I have totally finished ten blocks and been half way to the goal. I am trying to learn free motions quilting of feathers and I think that it not easy to do. I will need a lot of practice there. But it is fun.
Here are my latest four blocks

Fjädrar / Feathers

Orm Paisley / Snake Paisley

Feathers and pebbles
