Last post on an old address

Due to some minor/major indifferences between Blogger and Apple, this old site was suddenly impossible to update with pictures. So here’s to a new site, new address, same writer.

This old blog will remain as an archive – and links are up from there to here – and vice versa.

So if you’d like to see new posts, please come on over to Jacobs-quilt and find me there – welcome!

are a saying going like this : Christmas last untill 

Easter... so I'm aaaalmost not lazy at all... LOL

This Easter as the last years I spend in Oslo,and there

it was flowers and green gras,at home it is still winter. Now I can start

to dream about flowers at home to,not just iceroses... 

During the white winter time I have been playing with colours.

I never miss colours so mutch in winter time as this year.

I feel it has been all white,white snow,white trees ,white sky....

Beautifull yes, but soooo boring. 

It was so fun to make this  Dredsen Neighborhood pattern by 

Kim Lapacek.

More colour playing ,had to try it twice,a pattern from a Norwegian 

Magazine named Frargeglad løper. 

I also had to make this IPad cover. Here you can see 

how the trees looks like.. white,white,white...

There has been some knitting going on too..

There are some secred quilting going on... show you later,

Christmas around the corner.....

As it is close to Christmas,I have put up some of my " old" Christmas wallquilts.

This are a beautifull one,made by Red Brolly herself. Lucky me won it some years ago. 

As I have told before I got a gift from Nemo every sunday in advent. This box and kit 

are from the third sunday.I desided to do these small stitcheries at once,and to make somthing

from them..

......and here they are,new Christmas costers. ( I belive the pattern are made by  Nothern Quilts) 

On the last sunday of advent I got these great items...another box and Christmas tree decorations from Liberty and Starnucks.Thank you ,Nemo... next year too ?... ;-)

I have manage to do some small items for me ,not just making gifts

for mot friends and family. 

Two small tablerunnere and a little knitting bag. Both are from the Norwegian magazine

Quiltemagasinet. They where fun and easy to do. So now I look forward to the next nr.

of the magazine...

I play with yarn as well as fabrics ( most of the time with fabrics) Knitting 

are more easy to bring with me and I love to try new pattern.The Christmas mittern

are a mystery from a Facebook book page. 

And the yarn...is yarn dyeing made by me :-) Realy fun to do. I use food coloring. 

Now I have to find a great pattern to knitt....

There has been some beautifull days before Christmas where I live. 

It is almost like live in a Christmas card. 

I hope you all will have a great Christmas - with a lot of quilting and knitting. 

God jul :-)
