But my Quilting live has been on top,I have lots and lots to show.None of my new to show to day,they are comming later.... This blog are about a whole day spend with friends learning and listening to Anni Downs.I have made a lot from her pattern,and now I have more items to make. This day we started on a tablerunner. You can see my tiny houses in front of this photo. On the clean and well organized table....

Our working table. If Susan @ Thimblestitch sees this,I hope she can see how mutch I love and use my SSCS gift :-) It was soo fun getting to know that Anni know her. The Quilting world are realy small .

I was in this class with Nemo(Tonje) and our friend Irene. It was a big room,and the green winter in Norway are cold, so hot cofee are a blessing ;-)

Anni was walking a round telling and showing how she are working ,and she gave us some great A-HA . I learnd some new ways to do my stitching. Great 👍

After the class ,there was a show and tell. Totaly there came about 170 ladies,from all over Norway. Tonje and Irene was trying to get a look from the last row ( table) Luckey for us,we had spend the whole day with Anni....

Here you can see what we saw.....  A lot of happy ladies beeing able to meet one of our kind, a great lady all the way from Australia. Luckey us ! 

So thank you Anni,it was great meeting you. Hope to be able to meet you again! And thank you Katrine and alle her co workers,who made all this fun happen.

I wonder who you will bring next.

At the end of 2013...

I have been playning with small items. I love to make optical-illusions "quilts" , but I have framed this. 

This little item are from a photo in Homespun no.126 and are called Paradox Illusions. Easy to make and all made by hand. 

This idea are from a program about Crop Circle on TV. I have no idea about how or who are making the Circle,but I belive there are some quilters who got his or her finger on it :-) There are so many great ideas and pattern ....  I have several more I want to make in fabric. 

Here are the Crop Circle I borrowed the idea/pattern from. Great isn't it? 

But there has been some more small finish this Christmas...at last my kitchen stools has got covers,so now I "just" have to make me some new pillows on my kitchen bench to make my kitchen look new...

As I think this is my last post for 2013 I want to wish you all a Happy New Year. My goal for 2❤️14 are as last year... To get more UFO's done,use some of my fabrics,make some of my "must have" patterns and just have a lot of great time with my Quilting Ideas and Friends.. 😉

SSCS gift and Merry Christmas..

At last I could open the main gift from my unknown friend...and it was Susan @Thimblestitch,  and look what I got. This beautifull sewingbag. I love it,and start to use it at once :-) 

Thank you Susan, you have realy spoiled me this Christmas, and the labels will be used on my two next quilts.. 

Thank you to Elf Donna for be a part of all this fun. 

Hope you all has a great Christmas,and I want to wish you all A Happy New Year. 

Hugs ;-)
