Still alive....

 I have ben a verry lazy blogger this spring...and a WISP quilter too....  Sorry-sorry-sorry.:-) But at last I have something to show.. This is an UFO from a long time ago, I got the kit from Lappemakeriet. Fun and great little wall quilt...

 I have also manage to play a little with my Debbie Mumm fabrics... I have made these just with leftsovers, may be from Hanne... There are a lot of new just started ideas on my floor made from DM fabrics... Just need a little more time to play with Magda,then I will show them :-)

 This spring I have made small items, like thes three litle purses. Aren't the frogs cute?

 The last finish for now are this AnnAKa table runner... a new and easy way to stitch. I belive this Deer-tabelrunner are something for a guys table... And now my mind start to play, what if I make one with an elgs head... may be in sunset... Hmmmm..

 This spring has been long here i Norway, and it change a lot, only a week ago my porse looks like this... To day it has been raining a lot,it is ok,as long as it not are snowing.. But I realy want some sunny days now, and some flowers. ....

I want more of this ;-) Lovely flowers and beautifull blu sky in Oslo a week ago...

I  have seen the blue sky.. and want more...

Home from Bergen

I'm safe home from Bergen and NQF's annual meeting. A great, hard work, fun weekend. I have been working on this little wall quilt for a long time. It is all made by hand. I found the patter of the small "boxes" in an old Quiltmania and the border are a Kim Diehl idea. I think they work werry well together.

As I should out to travell, I had to make travell bags for my I-pad and my cellfone. Made from selvages of'course.

To day I was so a wake so I manage to take a photo of some of my new "realy must have2 items...I have a reason for some of the buying and some are - just because :-)

I only wish I would have had more time to look in allthe great stores. I did't get some great photos so I hope you will take a look at the NQF blog -www.nqf.no/blogg/. You can enjoy the photos even if you cant read the sayings...

After the meeting some of us girls took the train back to Oslo.It was hevy wind and some snow, so the photos out from the trainwindow was not the best, but I hope you can see the cabins in the mountain.Ready to have some vistors for Easter-

This weekend will be a quilet one for me... but on monday I

m ready for Tønsberg and a class with Gail Pan and Helen Stubbings at Quilte fryd...

So there will be more to tell soon.

Untill then have fun with Easter bunnies and take care :-)

I have also manage to play a little with my Go Baby... Magda helped me to make this Quilt,from Abyquilts leftovers and an old curtain. The goal was to use what I got in my piles. So now I got me a new Quilt for free. If I got it in my house it is free :-)

When I have been home and away lately I have been working on this jacket for Emma. My next project are one for Peder too - but I also have some serious plans to play a lot with Magda.There are some fabrics crying for me together with some new pattern... :-)

So untill next time -take care and be clever :-))

Happy New Year..

I hope every body has had a great start on the new year. I have been a lazy blogger, but I have been thinking a lot... I see a lot bloggers have new years goal,as I used to have. But for this year I have desided not to have any one. This will be my relaxing year- I will buy the fabrics who cry my name - start what I want to do and finish what I like to finish.I will spent time with my familie and friends, have a lot og fun and just enjoy my self. I have some great trips in front of me - one to Bergen - one to Tønsberg and one to Danmark... and I have a great dream I want to come true....
So as you see at the photo- the sky are golden ( some times) :-)

As a great start of 2012 I got this great mailing from Julie.It came all the way from Japan,beautifull fabrics and a thimble from Tokyo. Thank you so mutch Julie, I love it all :-)
Do you remember the challenge Lapphøna and I had, with the fabrics from Lappemor? Well here are my last one. So now I got 6 new tablerunnere... Thanks Anne Heidi for all the great fabrics. Hope you will do this again this year.
I have manage to start something this year too... I have been playing with Magda and leftovers that I got from Abyquilt:-) For the first time I have tryed to make Dresdenplates.. I have no plans for how it will turn out at the end...
And I have been playing with my new toy- Go! Baby. Wow it is so fun to cut fabrics.. At my first try I desided to try to sew Hexagons with help of Magda. And we manage... Clever girls :-)) No plans for this neither, just playing just because...

I hope you all remember to have some fun untill next time :-)
