My last January WISP's

Some days ago I manage to finich this Wisp, It has not been a Wisp for a long time,but yet it is done and I started it last year. It is what I got from Jorbærstedet in the Stitchery club last Desember.So now I have got me a new little Christmas Quilt.
I have made this Christmas Quilt as vell. Also started last year,so I count it as a Wisp.The pattern are from Art to Heart.I have written the start of the gospel according to Christmas. Og det skjedde i de dager. (And It happen in those Days....)
I have also made the Travel Quilt from a Leanne Beasley book,Romancing the Roadtrip. I made it as a model in the shop. It is all made of Japanece fabrics. The pattern are so easy to make , and I love the way it turned out.My be I will make one for myselv some day...
This year I will do Christmas item the whole year.....I have join the Honeysuckle Cottage Christmas Club 2008. And the first kit was soo cute. A Needlecase made by Lynette Anderson. I have start to make it to day. I will try to be finich when the next pattern arrive in February....
As you can see on this photo we still has a lot of snow, and to day it has fallen a lot more...No problem to ski for the one who want that. I don't ski.....I just live here... ;-)

And a little ps : to day I have send my Winter Quilt to a lady somewere in the world. So now I have to keep an eye on the mail waiting for my Winter Quilt. I wonder who I got a mail from...

Untill next time : have a great weekend. I will go to Trondheim to visit my parents (and some Quilt stores I hope. )Tell you more later. ;-)

Pay It Forward

I saw that Gail had sign up The Pay it Forward , so I deside to join in to.
It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward” where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in return, just passing it on, with hope that the recipients of the acts of kindness are passed on. So here’s how it works. I will make and send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment to this post on the blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I do not know what that gift will be yet, and it won’t be sent this month, probably not next month, but it will be sent (within 6 months) and that’s a promise! What YOU have to do in return, then, is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
So if you are game and want to join in just let me know. ;-)

Two more WISP's

Yesterday I mange to get one more of my WISP's ready. So now Little Sis just have to be hung on the wall. Thanks to May Britt who make me do some of my verry old wisp's. I had to machine quilt or else it have been lying in my closet with the others of my "forgotten"wisp's.
I machine quilted this little tumbling blocs quilt too. And to day I got it all done. Two WISP's in one week. WOW I feel great. Now I think I almost deserve to start on a new item.....To tell the true....I have ordered some new pattern from Bee Sew Whimsal. It is Truly Scrumptious from Chinderberry Stitches.All the pattern are so great. I have started on the first block, but not started to stitch yet. I will show you how it turn out next time...Promise.
To day I have been playing with my sewing machine.....and I made this . In norway we call them "bøssposer"They are to carry around where you are going to sew so you can put all your smal treads and other left over from your project in it. (so now they are not turning into dust-rabbits any more. I hope. )

This mornig I took this photo of Jacob having his breakfast. He love to taste a pice of my bread. He just want the seeds in it. I use sunflower-seed when I make bread and guess who just love it.He does not look to happy to be catch with a full beak. :-)

Untill next time have a great time and some lovely quilting time...

One WISP done

After I have removed all my Christmas decorations,I have found all my snow peopels.The quilt are from a Thimbleberry club some years ago.
I have manage to have one of my WISP's ready. It is the Jacob-quilt.I took it for my first project......And now it is done. Puh- I feel great.
I have been looking true all my old (realy old) wisp's and I found some who didn't need to mutch work. Once I have thought to hand-quilt them. But now I have decided to quilt them on my sewing-machine. I must realize I have not time to hand-quilt everything.This quilt are a verry old one called Little Sis.
And this are a outcome after playing with leftover from a class where we made Thumbling Blocks using the sewing machine.I tryed diffrent block's. I opened the top on some and even made some who you can see through. It was realy fun to make this little quilt, but hard to get quilted.....;-)
At last to day I want to show our house..... we got snow. Lot of snow and more a falling from the sky just now......

Have a great day and take care...

January challenge

May britt has started a January- finish it up-challenge,and I have decide to joy in. Actual I have a lot of WISP's lying around.But I have to start with some, these where the luckey one....
The first are what I got for Christmas from my friend Bjørg. Not a old one, but I love to have made it.
The second one are a little quilt from Art-to-Heart. And it needs to be done fast.
The third one are a little quilt with a stitchery made special for me by Leanne Beasley when she was here in Trysil. It is my parrot Jacob, both on the stitchery and on the photo.
I would love to have the three of these WIPS done by January.May be I even got time to finish a few more..... There are a lot to pick from..... ;-)

I have also add Hannes badage on my sidebar. I realy need to reduce my stash. My number one goal are to make quilts from the fabrics I got and only buy fabrics I REALY needs, untill the annual meeting in NQF. It start on the 4.of April. Then I have to allow meself to by what I want, if I have been clever.
So I have to tell you I have to tighten the control of my buyings.

Untill next time take care and have a look on your stash. :-)

Happy New Year !

Yesterday my husband , Jacob and I went to celebrate New Year's Eve in Oslo with our oldest daughter. It was a lot of fireworks and a lot of noise from all the people out in the streets , but we had a great evening together just having a enjoyabel time.
To day my daughter and I went for a walk by Akers elva. (Akers-river) It was lovely weather, but no snow at all.You can hardly belive this photo are taken in the middle of the biggest town in Norway.I love to walk and look at all the old houses,and to day it was so peaseful and hardly no peoples to see.
It has been a calm christmas this year. I have spend some time alone, after our visitors had left back home and my husband went to work. (I had to work two days myself also.) But when beeing on myself I manage to finish this little stitchery. The Night Before from Cinderberry Stitches.
And this bolck from Angel's sewing basket From Gail Pan Designs. Every thing I manage to finish make me feel great.... ;-)

I almost feel ashamed not to have showed what a lovely gift I got from my SSCS partner Tracey.I'm so pleased with all I got. So thank you Tracy. I send a big hug to you.
And look what I got from my friends for Christmas... Lovely boxes to fill with Quilting objects. ( Buttons, Fabrics,Wips or what ever) I just love and need boxes.
And take a look on these.....a great homemade kit from my friend Bjørg and two lovely pre-printed stitcherys. All of them are something to make fast..... ;-) I have started on the one from Bjørg. I will show you when it is done.
I also got other great quilting items from other friends of mine. I'm a luckey girl I think who have all that great friends. Thank you everybody.(I even got one of May Britt's pin cushions)
At last I want to say : Have a lovely and peacefull 2008 with this angel . We went by it in Oslo to day. I think it was great.

Have a lovely day. Have fun and take care. ;-)
