My surprise project!

Hi

Yeasterday I went to the Mossby quiltshop. It is about a half hour cardrive away from where I live.
I spend a wonderful hour in the shop and bought my self a early birthday present!

After much thought and consideration I landed on 5 diffrent fabrics and a wonderful pattern!

I got home and gave my self one hour to iron and cut the fabrics and started to sew.
and between sewing and cooking dinner for the kids I managed to make 34 units for my surprise project.

I will try to restrain my self to put up pictures for as loong as I can. :-)


And the dinner was: poched salmon with boiled potatoes and a cold sause made with half of creame fraishe and mayo with a squirt of lemon and some salt and white pepper and lots of fresh dill.

Need I say that there was no left overs?!

I wish you all a great day!

Sunny greating from Sweden!

No Leftovers? I can understand why..that sounds delicious.

Looking forward to pictures!

Annika, to me this sounds a perfect day. Quilt shop, sewing and good food. George cloony would say: what else...

You are amazing! I can just taste that delicious dinner, although I don't think I've ever made that kind of sauce for salmon. It sounds delicious.

It is a very traditional sauce here in sweden for salmon dishes.
Very tastie!

Not being a member of the forum for too long, I have learned already that Annika sews like the Tazmanian Devil!!!!! Don't know how she does it! So we will probably see pics of the finished project by this afternoon (EST...my time zone). :icon_tup:

Haha - you're right - she is lightening fast!
Annika - that sauce sounds amazing! We love salmon in my house, so that might be dinner tonight.

Dinner sounds wonderful...I love salmon. I think you will post pictures soon...lol!

I don't know if I'd rather be over there watching her stitch away, or joining her for dinner. Absolutely LOVE salmon. Maybe tonight....

I will try to restrain my self to put up pictures for as loong as I can. :-)

Don't do that, we love to see your progress pictures!

Now I want salmon!

Found it on google images.

Didn't you just buy this fabric? How do you put quilts together so fast? I am so impressed!

This is a great pattern for these fabrics. What is it called? I've never seen it before and I really like it.

It was loads of fun waiting to see what you were going to make!

That is really nice.
