This has
been a strange month with all sorts of events from death to festivities. As a student councilor you have to be
prepared for everything, but you never are. You just have to be there when
things happen and do your best as a human.
Being a grandmother
brightens up the day and making children’s clothes again is pure fun When my
kids were small I made clothes from patterns made by Elisabeth Günter and these
books are printed again now. There is a lot of appliqué suggestions and even
quilting of jackets. I even enjoy making buttonholes with my machine.
I’m not
good at making comments on other people’s blogs, but it happens. This time I
was lucky and won four bird panels. I love Laura Kemshall 's and Linda Kemshall 's
blogs. They produce Design Matters TV and have a lot of courses. Laura even has
her own firm where you can get your own digital images printed on fabrics or
buy their special fabrics. Have a look at Fingerprint's pages!
What I am
going to do with my panels? I think I’ll make a wall quilt for my cabin. Maybe
I’ll buy some more birds.
Last
weekend I spent at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Quilt Association. It was a lot to see and buy, and some nice
courses. I went to a course with Nina Lise Moen called “Kvist” in
Norwegian. I chose the green spring colors
as a background You put a lot of fabrics like tull and organza on top of
each other to make flowers and a lot of straight stitches. Have look at Nina's
pages to get better information and see a lot of variation of the theme. I
loved it and made a small wall hanging this time. But I have some ideas for Easter (next year?).
Have a nice
week!
