Block D is resting piecefully at the moment.



First I must tell you that I did find this heat bag ready made at the local quilt shop,in Tønsberg where I spent my summer holiday this year. Same one like Anni has in her GJ book. Nice isn`t it,all the way up here in Norway the shop owner had sewn it long time ago.





Yes,here the stitchery is placed safely! But I think I might manage to have it sewn together by the end of this month? I always say to myself long time till February 2011.

The thing is that I have been busy with finishing my JRSQA!! Soon to be posted on my blog and on Flickr; Jelly Roll Sampler Quilt Along Group.

And I`m off tomorrow morning to "Festival of Quilts" in Birmingham,UK. Great,big quilt-show; my third time visiting it will be.
Decided on this Sunday afternoon,might stay for 5 days.
Really looking forward to seeing all the quilts shown as well as listening to the designers,and of course all the shops. I might return with tons of baggage!! I am very weak when it comes to shopping!

Happy Stitching to all:-)
