Lemons or scraps

Hej!

It´s been a while since I last wrote, but I was busy re-arranging my life and my garden too. You know the saying: when life gives you Lemons make Lemonade, or as we Quilters say: If life gives you Scraps make Quilts…. I did that too.
After all the Scraps it looks already more bright and I think it`s going to work out beautiful, like it always does in my life. I´ve learned a lot, and released a lot and that´s what counts in the end… so, I´m grateful for the lesson 🙂

But let´s see what I´ve been up to:
Baltimore is on the pause button for a moment. But I finally got an idea for block 7!
In the focus now was most of all the garden and the veggies… done by now, waiting for better weather. I was watering the plants with warm water yesterday… so you can imagine the temperatures outside…
Than I prepared 5 other quilts for quilting, ditching is already done!
I showed them at the last Sewing Wednesday from my Quilters Guild this week. Boy had we fun that afternoon! I stayed in Mora over night, a hole new Experience for me, but it was really fun!

And when I came home on Thursday afternoon I started to quilt the Secret Love Quilt which is currently under my needle!

here some pics:

Looks like I have to get some pictures done too, but the weather was so bad I didn´t manage to take some. Next time!

2 of my Quilts are at Quilts UK 2016 in Malvern right now, final day today! I expect them to come home by end of next week/ beginning of June. I´m very curious about what the judges wrote!
It`s the large Bed Quilt “ Björn- Le Moyne Star“ – you remember from Mora Quilt Exhibition last year, and the “ Vänskap/ Friendship“ Quilt, also from Mora Quilt Exhibition last year. I hope to get some pics from the show in UK!

There is sure more news to share, but that´s for next time 😉

In the mean time Happy Quilting!
Have fun!

Love Simone
