Back on track

After a long period with a lot of changes I’ve decides to go back to blogging again. It’s a strange time for everyone with the Covid virus, but I’m thankful there is a lot of things to enjoy at the same time. We can’t let the fear and anxiety take over everything.

Here in Norway we had a full lock down in March until June and I got paralysed the first period. I just sat watching the news and thought the whole world had gone mad. Then I decided that I couldn’t watch the news more than once a day and I started quilting again. I got colour and fabric into my thoughts again and I finished a lot of UFOs and Work in progress.

I want to show you one of my most colourful quilts this winter. I found the pattern in a magazine Love of Quilting from 2014. The pattern is named Trifecta and designed by Tanya Finken.

The colours go from light pink to dark purple and even some orange. I loved sewing it.  A real fabric- vitamin injection!

May and snowing outside

Today I finished my Easter project after an idea from Quiltegården in Trondheim. It’s a mug rug with a pocket for the Norwegian chocolate bar named Kvikklunsj. I’ve made 6 of them, ready for next Easter. I made my own version of their pattern.

Easter was late this year, but that is spring too. It’s snowing outside today, not much, but the grass is covered with a white blanket. I long for summer!

Finishing!

Just a few words to show you that I'm working. Here are two projects I had planned to make bigger, but a cold changed my mind.
Next weekend I'm going to a quilting retreat with  lots of new products and temptations, so I wonder what I will start on this time?
