A new table runner from Fatquartershops pattern

I have made another table runner using a pattern from Fatquartershop. You can find the pattern from Youtube here.
I have used one charm pack from Kate Spain fabric collection called "In from the cold" by Moda. I realy love this range of fabric and I have one charm pack left of this range :-) Yahoo what to do, what to do ….

You can find a YouTube video about it here from Missouri Star Quilt Company. Thanks for a great Tutorial :-)
I have only used scraps to make this quilt..

Basting your quilt..

I have taken a class at Craftsy and the teacher was Camille Roskelley , so this is her idea... I think it was the Swoon class.
She teached me how bast my quilt and I must say it has helped me a lot!!
You start with you backing facing the right side down, tape it to the floor.Then put the batting on and smooth it out as good as you can. Then put your quilt on the top and find all you safety pins. Pin the 3 layer together starting from the middle.Use your hands to make it all flat all the way out to the 4 corners.
Grmf, did you understand ??( Sorry my english are not perfect !)
This is my first larger quilt that I have quilted myself and it was a lot of fun !!
I will show you pictures from the completed quilt later.

2 new toiletry bags

2 new toiletry bags using the pattern "Anna" by the Norwegian designer AnnaKa. I have made them slightly larger than the pattern. The fabrics are from my stash ( Basic Grey I think ?)
I still have one week left of my vacation and I am enjoying my days of. The summer in Norway have been a very cold one though …. I am trying to make the best of it and we have done some things to remember when the winter arrives :-)


Summer of 2015!
