Friendship and quilting

I have got a lot of friends  during  my years with quilting and have learned a lot as a woman and as a quilter  Some of  what I’ve learned I use at work. I do a lot of social work in my job as student worker,and have a lot of  group meetings . Sometimes I use fabric , designing and quilting  as a method to get the results I want.

Here is  the latest quilt I’ve finished  where the students 12 years old, have designed the butterflies of hearts, placed the heart flowers and given them different centers  with buttons. Everybody  was satisfied with their own work and so surprised that it  all went together

They were so proud of their work so they gave it to their teacher as thanks for her kindness.

Back in blogland !

2016 has started and I'm back blogging again. Last year is history and I want to show you an old picture of my father in law. He died  just before Christmas 100 years old.
He gave us a lot of good memories and was interested in what every generation  did.
This is the oldest picture we have of him , sitting on a quilt. The colours of the quilt and who made it, we don't know,

This year I have promised myself to finish at least four  project  before I start a new one, and I have to do a lot of stash using. My cupboards seem to have shrinked, and I don't know why I always fall for those big quilts that takes ages to finish.

March is here!

It has been a busy winter without much quilting, but spring is always a better time for sewing for me.

I want to show you a few projects from this winter. Liberty pink is a small children quilt from my visit to London during my autumn holiday .I love these fabrics but I find them a bit thin for my normal quilting, but this time I made an exception.

This table runner is for springtime. Optimistic colours that longs for a big bouquet of tulips on the top.

This last quilt was made as an anniversary quilt for my husband. It’s made from a drawing inspired by a text from the Bible.  This drawing my oldest daughter got on a card 25 years ago, and this is the second and last quilt made of it.
