English Paper Sewing with no plan : )
Started something new. I have no plan, just vant to use reds and whites. Thinking of christmas I guess : )
Have to have some gifts ready soon. Will just see where it ends : )
I just bought (again : )) a book with a lot of nice patterns. Its called "Quiltegleder" , and it is written by Rie Norum and Hilde Aanerud Krogh. The pattern I like , is called "English paper sewing". I do the diamonds : ) It is nice to be able to move around the house with this project. But I still dont know how many , how big it is going to be.

My room ..... need some uncluttering !
The view from my chair
The wall next to my desk, and my messy desk. I am working on some christmas things at the moment ... or at least trying to ; ) .... will tidy the place up today .... I think : ) It is really lovely weather outside today .... a rare thing around here at this time of year .... I better enjoy it : )
Messy or just a place for creativity ?
Originally I felt that this should be enough space for me to be creative .... but I filled it pretty quick : )
I tell my husband it is too small ... he will never get it . He told me ; next time we build a house, we will first set up your room , and then we build the rest of it around it. A very good idea I think : )

Love is in the eye of the beholder : )
At last ... its finished. Doesn't look too bad ... if I say so myself. Had to spend some time to assembly all the parts. I do not think I will give you all a closer look.
It will only reveal all my mistakes. I m still learning : ) So .... quilt police .... keep your distance : ) Look at the big picture .... hehe .
Now I can start looking at my newly bought books .... jippy !
And of course .. christmas is getting closer .... a lot of presents needs to be made . Jolly good .... hihi

Having a place just waiting for a quilt helps : )
This must be a perfect place for my quilt. With my Chinese furniture and my Chinese picture. Well its called Japanese folding technique. Close enough : ) If Im real clever it will be up sunday evening. I m real good at making promises, so just let us se what happens : )
Going slowly, but going forward : )
Have done 46 up to now ... only 54 left... I will do it ... I will .... If I make ten each evening, it will only take five more days : ) .... fortunately I still love the colors and being able to take them with me where ever I go helps. But, my mind is starting to think of other projects I could do. Maybe I should do 15 each evening .... yes I will ...

The beginning of something ...large !
The first 12 pieces .... I could lie and say that the shape are not supposed to be the same , but they are.... give me some time , and I will get it perfect. Well , I love the colors.... will probably use some more yellow ... and the pattern ... I have no idea .... first I will make plenty, and we will see what will happen : ))
Japansk bretteteknikk .....
This is one of my favorite books, by two norwegian ladies .... this technique is called " Japansk bretteteknikk" ( Japanese folding technique ) ....its pretty easy to do, but not so easy to get one block looking like the other : ) .... but perhaps after making one hundred of them, I will get it right....

Here we go !
First I cut out five fabrics for the birds (and the wings), then one light color for the background. I attach the fabrics like you do with the flying geese.
At last I attach a bacground color on the top and bottom. It just misses a tail, eyes, a pair of running legs and hair, and it will look like a bird : )
