My trip to London

Prins Albert Memorial Hyde Park

I had a wonderful trip to London last week and meet up with sweet Melanie at Euston Trainstation and we walked up to Camden Market. We had a wonder lunsj at a local pub in Camden before we went to see all the stalls at Camden Market. I did a few buyings for me and my daughters for Christmas..
Melanie was so sweet and we had a great time togehter. On our way back to Euston train station it started raining but either Melanie or me took any notice of it.
We spent a couple of ours chatting at a coffee shop and time did fly. We talked about almost everything and I had a wonderful time with her. She gave me some gifts for Christmas and later my birthday, I cannot show them yet ;-)) She also gave the most beautiful Christmas stitchery And I will show you next time I do a post..
I realy need to thank Melanie for taking the train back and fort for over 7 ours just to meet me. Thank you Melanie, I had a awesome time with you!! And I will love to go to Birmingham quilt Market some day with you and maybe some other quilt friends ;-))

Tusen takk til Chookyblue for å ha laget denne flotte julebytte igjen i år, hun er bare skjønn..

Make a book about your blogg

I have just made my second book about my blogg.. I am so happy! It so great to have the last 2 years of my blogg on paper.
So if you want to make one too you can go here..

Jeg har nettopp laget min andre bok om bloggen min. Her har jeg samlet de to 2 siste årene fra bloggingen min og det er kjempekoselig å ta fram den av og til og mimre litt.
Hvis du har lyst til å lage din egen bloggbok så kan du gå her.

Advent II

A new tabelrunner .. I found it in the last Magazine My Quilt.. It is a bit big thought ;P
I needed a blogg break and I have been away from you all for a while. My arms and shoulder is not good at all but it has slowly improved and I am much better now. I guess I must be a bit carefull with my blogging and commenting for a while. I have missed you all so there are lots of hugs here for you from me..

My SSCS gift is on its way to its new owner ;-)


En ny løper sydd etter mønster i det siste My quilt bladet.. Denne ble også litt stor ;p
Jeg trengte en liten blogg pause fordi armen og skuldra mi holdt på å ta kvelden helt. Jeg er heldigvis mye bedre nå men jeg må nok være litt forsiktig med for mye pc bruk en liten stund framover.
Jeg har savnet dere masse og har prøvd å forberede julen litt sakte men sikkert.

Min SSCS gave er på vei til sin mottaker ;-))






Nye stoffer i lilla, som jeg har ønsket meg en stund. Kjøpt på Kreativ Quilt..

New Fabrics in purpel, lovely and they have been on my wish list for a while. They are from my local quilt shop Kreativ Quilt..


Tabelrunners / Design Lise Jørgensen, Kreativ Quilt..
Advent gave til min flinke student i Bergen og hennes gode venninne .

A new tabelrunner / design Lise Jørgensen, Kreativ Quilt..
It will be a gift for my amazing daughter in Bergen and one for her best friend.

Advent 1

Very soon there will be Advent again and I have made a new tabelrunner. The patter is found in Quiltemagasinet #4 2011 and the design is AnnaKa. This tabelrunner was a lot of fun to make but it is "huge". The dinningroomtabel will be a perfect place for it!
I realy love the fabric I have used they are from the danish Stof.DK .

Snart er det Advent igjen dere og jeg har laget stjernedill løperen som sto i Quiltemagasinet nummer 4/2011. Løperen er designet av AnnaKa. Løperen var morsom å sy men det var kjempesvær. Jeg ble nesten litt provosert;-) Den passer fint på spisebordet mitt som er 2m langt. Stoffene jeg har brukt er fra danske Stof.DK og er kjempelekre..

Melanie's Helping hands Project

This quilt is made by Melanie / Houseelf Doings , is not an awesome quilt !! Follow the link and see Melanie story.
Look at all thoose helping hands and guess what I am the red hands , I am so happy with ending up as the red hands ;-)
Melanie told me she did wake up one night and new exactly what quilt to make: the helping hands project.. She send me the odd message to take of my hands and send them to her ..
I was stunned and without a clue, hi hi. After a while she told me to wright around my hands and sent it to her, so I did whithout any notion of what she was up to but I new she was doing something realy sweet for bloggland.
I am to meet up with Melanie in London late November and I so looking forward to it ;-))
On the picture under you can see the sweet gift se sent me. It is part of some scarf she bought at her visit to Aswan in Egypt. Hmm what am I to make of these beauties ??

Denne quilten er laget av Melanie/ Houseelf doings , for en flott quilt!! SE på alle de hjelpende hendene og gjett hvilken farge jeg ble jo rød selvfølgelig.
Melanie fortalte at hun våknet opp en natt og viste akkurat hva slags quilt hun skulle lage neste gang: Helping hands teppe. Hun sendt meg en ganske kryptisk beskjed om å vri av meg armene og sende dem til henne. Jeg så vel mere ut som et spørsmålstegn og skjønte ikke så mye. Etter en stund ba hun meg om å sende omrisset av handa mi og sende det til henne. Jeg må si at jeg skjønte fremdeles ikke så mye men Melanie er en flott dame så jeg forsto såpass mye at hun holdt på med noe flott for bloggland. Følg linken oppe i den engelske teksten så kan dere se Melanie fortelling om hvordan prosjektet ble til.
Jeg er så heldig at jeg skal få møte Melanie i London i slutten av November og gleder meg veldig ;-))
Under kan dere se den nyderlige gaven hun har sendt meg ifm avslutningen av dette prosjektet.
Det er biter av skjerf hun kjøpte i Aswan på en reise i Egypt...

Bloggers BOM block #2

My Bloggers BOM block #2 is finished ;-))
I have made 2 blocks and I loved to make them..
A strange thing happened though?? My first block was slightly larger than my new ones, how did that happen;-(( Well after a lot of thinking and measureing I gave up and I have made 2 new ones of the first block too.
I am still using my Bliss collection, love them !!
My Tine Town has its boarders on and ready to ship to the pro quilte but to whom I do not know just yet..

Jeg har nettopp satt sammen blokk nummer 2 i Bloggers BOM ;-))
Hmm rart mine 2 nye blokker var klart mye mindre enn min første blokk. Hode fikk masse å tenke på samtidig som jeg målte og målte for å prøve å finne ut hva jeg hadde gjordt galt. Jeg ga opp og har laget 2 nye blokker av den første blokka også.
Bliss er fremdeles en av mine favoritter !!
Tiny Town quilten min har fått 2 rammer og er klar til sendes til quilting, men hvem skal jeg sende den til ???

Split Nine patch / Opam for september

I have another sofa quilt finished for a special event comming up soon ;-))
This are leftovers from another quilt for my youngest daughter Tonje. The fabrics are First Frost by Timeless Treasure and there are a bit silver finish in the fabrics.. The quilting has been done by Quilt'n in Arendal, lovely!!
It feels so good to use up "scraps ", now there are just little tiny bits left.

Jeg er ferdig med et nytt sofaquilt for en spesiell anledning litt senere dette året.
Dette er "rester " etter senge teppet til min datter Tonje. Stoffene er First Frost av Timeless Treasure og det er litt sølv rundt forbi i stoffene.
Quiltingen er utført av Quilt'n i Arendal, veldig fornøyd!!
Deilig nå er det endelig litt tomt i en boks med stoffer.

Tiny Town Block # 9 and some scrapping..

My Tiny Town Block # 9 is finished today.. Yeah all my Tiny Town block are now finished so I can start to assembly the quilt.. I have lots of leftovers both from my fresh Cotton collection by Fig Tree and my Martinique collection by 3 sisters so I have been scrapping. Maybe I will use it on the inner boarder on my Tiny Town quilt. What do you think ??

Min Tiny Town Blokk nummer 9 er endelig ferdig. Jippi , så deilig... Nå kan jeg endelig begynne å sy teppe sammen. Jeg har ganske mye rester, så jeg har sydd sammen en del av restene i dag. Kanskje jeg vil bruke det til den innerste rammen på quilten.. Hva synes du ??

Not much to show realy ;-)

I do not have much to show you for the moment. The secret season has started and I have some secret projects going on. I guess I am not the only one ;-))

Jeg har ikke så mye å vise dere akkurat nå. Jeg har litt for mange hemmeligheter som jeg ikke kan vise: SSCS og jule gaver . Jeg er vel ikke helt alene om dette ;-))
