Sampler Quilt

Next weekend me and my Mom are teaching a beginners course in quilting. To freshen up my memory I started sewing a Sampler Quilt today. Here's one out of six blocks. I'll put the rest up when it is all done!
Since today was all about sewing, tomorrow is going to be all about studying... at least before 6 p.m. 'cuz that's when my local quilt group will meet and share ideas! :-)

The time of colorful nature!

Autumn is finally here and I just love it! All the leaves that changes color och the crisp air. Mmm...
I wish I could say that I do a lot of quilting but unfortunately I don't. :-( I have to study most of my time cause it is my last semester before I can say that I have a Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Business - I can't wait! On top of school I seriously have to start looking for a job now. It would be wonderful to start working in January. I'm very excited about the future but at the same time it's a little bit scary... I'm definitely applying for a traineeprogram. I think that would fit me and it would give me the oppurtunity to apply my theoretical knowledge to practical situations.
Back to quilting, I guess that is why you're here! I have many new projects that's just waiting on the shelf and I wish I had the time to do it. My Mom went to the Quilt Show in Birmingham in August and she bought me some really nice things, among them a beautiful kit from Petra Prins. I think I might save that one until after Christmas though, when I have more time.
Our local quilt group are working on a project that we're gonna give to a part of the hospital where handicapped children live. We all make 12" blocks and my block has an elephant with floppy ears on it. :-) We also have a Round Robin project with a theme of our own. I chose Crazy Quilt for my block and it'll be exciting too see the final result in March. :-)

I guess that's it for today. Have a lovely autumn!

This is me.

Thanks for stopping by!
My name is Jessica and I'm from Sweden - a lovely country in northern Europe. I have fairly recently started to quilt and I love it! So this blogg will mostly be about my quilting projects but once in a while I'll write about something else that is on my mind.Right now, besides quilting, I'm studying for my Bachelors degree in English and Business/Economics.
Other than quilting I like arts and crafts, traveling, interior decorating, music, books and spending time with friends and family.
I've lived in the United States for a few years and I had a wonderful time. I try to visit friends and family over there as often as I can - which is not often enough!
I will mostly write in English - but once in a while I'll write in Swedish which is my native language.
Now you know a little bit about me - next time I'll post some of my quilting projects!
