Abyquilts Challenge

Some days ago Abyquilt showed some of her purses and  asked to show what other blogers had to store items in.... Well I have a lot...a LOT...Here are some to start with, for "grab and set of"sewings..Almost all that is, the green one with my name on are not a "just brigth new" one. My mother made that on for me to bring my gym clothes in at school - some years ago :-)

Here are more smal bags for projects and one for my coffe mug ... I use it at the quilt meetings...when i remember to bring a mug...

Here are some of my sewing items for daily use in the living room....

Diffrent needel keepers... a IPad cover with matching cellfone purse... Just what a travelling girl need ;-)

More realy need items... a big box for my knitting plans...a small christmas box- with a started christmas tree ball - form Arne & Carlos - in it. It must stay in the christmas box. Don't you agree...A crochet box - made from fabric - for my coasters, and a box for my "every day"napkins..

 I have a lot of small purses- I love to make them-Some of them are just a challenge for me to make them and some are done just because I just had to do them...

more purses...some are for money and some are done for the fun fabric, the little brown in front are for bringing tea-bags in... Not used werry often... I drink a lot of coffee.. :-)

More needels keepers... Hmmm I do have a lot... :-)

Needel keepers,,,and one for the sissor...  The little one in front are a gift...a verry usefull one..it is for toothpickers... ;-))
In the end there are a photo of the two last items I have done-- yesterday.A littel purse with a coffee cozy. I "found" an old fabric with this saying on it, so I need to make this just for me.. Sewing and coffee are some of my best friends :-)

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 :-)
