I made some Mug Rugs for my son and his girlfriend .. to match the new cups I bought for them for christmas .. made them more interesting ... this was only a small part of the gift though :-) .. Im not that lucky :-)

Another table runner made with the Japanese folding technique .. I love these colors a lot :-) .. It will look nice on my black dining table ..

I had to be very patient to get a picture of this little bird ...

The Christmas decorating has started ...

This is some leftover hearts from my "large" heart quilt .. all hand made ...

My purple quilt is finished ..

I am so pleased with the result .. my best work so far :-)

I like the quilting a lot .. its done by Janne ..

Three of my sons modelling with my latest quilt ..

Almost ready for quilting .. I will let a professional do it this time ...

The top .. completely finished .. thats how I feel now ; ) .. it will feel good when I can give it away ; )

This is a part of the backing ..

A surprise at the back side of the quilt .. and a bit of fun ; ))

A little something to cheer up my aunt and uncle .. in a difficult time ..

Yes I know I promised to only do my UFOs .. but this can not wait .. my uncle is sick .. now .. I will make a quilt size 140cm x 180cm .. it will keep him warm during the winter .. so I need to finish this in a few weeks .. each block is 30 x 30 cm .. so I will have to make 20 blocks .. and I will have a border to make it the right size .. I will also applique a something on the border .. in green and purple on it .. thats the plan anyway .. I want it to be a special gift for them .. I hope I can make it so ..

Now its only the quilting left ..

I just want to show you my latest pictures from a trip I had on friday with my friend ..

The big picture is Flåm .. the rest is just me enjoying myself ; ) .. I love taking photos of the beautiful scenery of Norway .. just cant get enough ; )

More pictures from our daytrip .. you never know what you will find around the corner ; ) ..

I Have too many unfinished projects .. I will not start anything new before half of them are gone .. or I should probably say done

These nine quilts are almost done .. I just need to quilt them .. and do some applique on a few .. before 2013 they all need to be finished .. or I will have problems making my husband understand why I need more fabric .. and more quilting stuff ; ))

Even more projects .. If I work hard every day from now on .. on these .. and of course my christmas quilts .. those I forgot about .. and I have lots of small projects also .. I have organized those also .. Im so clever .. today .. lets hope it lasts ; ))

Some inspiration for my next project ..

I have during one of my trips discovered the beauty of old scholl posters .. they are each like peaces of arts .. I want them ; ) .. but I cant .. its a museum .. so then I will make something that will remind me of them .. this is some of the stuff I made that reminds me of the colors that has been used on the birds .. well, the way I see it .. I will have to figure out how to put this into a quilt .. and I pretty much already have ; ) .. I have ordered some fabrics .. which takes forever to arrive .. fooorevvver !   This is my first use of Photo Editing .. it has taken me hours and hours .. and to much trouble .. I am getting there .. I just have to figure out how to straighten the pictures inside the frames .. so this is what you get for now ; ) .. It can only get better ... lets hope ; )

 

I took my mother for a trip to her childhood place .. I need to do it more often ..

Guddal is a small village a couple of hours and two ferryes from Bergen .. at the west part of Norway .. only a few farms lay here .. no buses .. no street lights .. and the sound of the River which divides the valley is so calming .. I love this place .. My mother is soon 82 years old .. her knees are a bit troubleing for her, but she is in good shape .. I promised her to take her for many trips to Guddal in the future ..

Its not easy to chose the right red colors for the borders ...

I have two more blocks that needs borders on .. but not now .. it has been a long quilting day ; )

The chinese character for heart .. xin.

This is the hearts that have passed the quality test .. four others had to go .. somewhere .. to a better place : ))

Tuesdays Heart ..

I am slowing down .. only one today .. but its a beautiful one ; )

Sundays work ..

About half way ..

Sundays heart

More hearts ..

A pretty heart

A heart in a heart

Heart on a string

Hearts .. hearts .. hearts .. lest see how many I can make before I get sick of them .. it will make a nice christmas quilt ..

Hearts  .. different sizes and shapes ..

One easy to make ..

One complicated and slow .. and a little bit strange ; ) .. like me ? ; )

A dragon heart

Getting the inspiration from the autumn colors ..

Just playing with some leafes

Beautiful Autumn colors .. love this photo .. my photo ; ))

Had to take a photo .. so calm and peaceful ..

My latest work .. an Autumn tablerunner .. love the colors .. dont you ? ; )

I want to try some Crazy Quilting .. got the inspiration from Brian Haggard ..

I have not finisher yet .. wait and see ; )

Taking a trip back to memory lane ...

I have spent many hours as a child fishing from this place .. sometimes I even fell into the sea ; )

Still beautiful ...

My neighbours old barn .. falling apart .. nobody cares about an old barn anymore ..

This is where the sheep got their food .. beautiful made .. still perfectly usable ..

Nothing is as beautiful as old wood ..

A lot of history in this door ..

Part of my childhood home .. this is where I learned how to swin like a dog .. in order not to drown ..

Looks delicious .. but tastes terrible ; ) ..

Beautiful rainy day ..
