The last few weeks I have been super busy getting everything ready for our booth at the annual meet</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the Norwegian Quilt Association. This was our 10th time bringing the shop, and it was fun as always! I had the flu the week prior to the meet- so I didn't get to do everything I had planned- but I was very happy to be back on my feet and well in time for the weekend!</div>

A close up of one of the corners. I loved making the pillow with the Brimfield block, those Cotton + Steel fabrics are so much fun! And I adore my"Dwight the Deer pillow" I made it last year, but it had to come along this year as well...</div>

We have run the "Beyond the Porch" BOM at the shop ( from the Birdhouse patchwork designs), and I decided to use a FQ bundle of Denyse Schmidt fabrics for mine (we ran out of kits at the shop so I had to "shop my stash....") This line is called Winter Walk. I really enjoyed making this quilt, and I had it quilted by Merete Ellingsen ( She quilts all of my large quilts!)</div>

So this is the warmest temperature we have today.... Woke up to -36 C, a beautiful day though with blue skies and the sun shining :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even if winter is still holding on, I am sewing for Spring :-) I love fresh yellows, oranges and greens.... This table runner is from the book "Weekend Quilting", and the fabrics are by Zen Chic ( Modern Background Colorbox) and Beach Road by Jen Kingwell Both for Moda Fabrics. This was a quick and fun runner to sew, and I can see how it would look great in a number of different fabrics and color ways.</div>

On to a new project.... Log Cabin blocks :-) I haven't sewn log cabin blocks in a while, but they are so fun and easy to sew- perfect for when you just want to sit down by the sewingmachine and keep sewing without too much preparation work. I used a log cabin ruler from Marti Michell for easy piecing!</div>

Last weekend we headed south to Oslo to help our daughter and her boyfriend to move to a larger apartment. My mom came along to help out, and we had a fun and busy weekend with multiple trips to IKEA.... Some assembly required- but lots of fun!</div>

Kristine and her boyfriend are both Geology students, and we did some heavy lifting as quite a few boxes contained lots of rocks 😅 They are both working on their masters degree now, and Kristine will be finished in June. Just the home stretch left now, and she will be finished with her degree at the age of 24. We are really proud of her! They collect different minerals, and have some pretty cool looking rocks, I should have taken some close ups of them- but didn't think of it at the time we were there.</div>

So it has been a whole year since my last blog post- what in the world happened??? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2017 was a busy year with lots of working and sewing. Now I really miss being able to look back at my blog to see what I made, and when I made it.... So here I go again- trying to start blogging again.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In January I made the <a href="https://www.lappemor.no/products/country-revival" target="_blank">Country Revival</a> quilt by Sew Kind of Wonderful. This was such a fun quilt to sew. It looks complicated, but has the same shapes all over, just with different color placement- super fun!! It is now at my Longarmer, <a href="https://www.sy.no/quilting-av-tepperbestilling-av-quilting" target="_blank">Merete</a> to get quilted. I can't wait to see what she does with the quilting!!</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up in January I made this little bag- <a href="https://www.lappemor.no/products/the-cube" target="_blank">The Cube</a> by Penny Sturges. This was a fun bag to sew, and it is just so cute!! Perfect for bringing along my hand sewing, or as a makeup bag.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next up I made this jelly roll quilt with the cutest Jelly roll: <a href="https://www.lappemor.no/products/hello-my-friend-jelly-roll" target="_blank">Hello My Friend</a> by Sandy Gervais ( Moda fabrics) In this picture I haven't actually sewn the blocks together yet.... but this quilt top is also away for quilting right now. I love using precuts- they are so easy to work with- and I don't need to spend the cutting before I start sewing :-)</div>

I had a long train ride going to Lillestroem and back home for a trade show- and brought this knitting project with me. It is still inter and super cold here ( -32C today) so it is already in use!</div>

I am thrilled to finally have my <a href="http://www.lappemor.no/products/octagon-shimmer" target="_blank">Octagon Shimmer</a> quilt finished! It didn't take very long to make, and my quilter, Merete had it done in a flash- but it has been waiting for me to bind it for a couple of months now..... I finally found the time to get it done, and I am very happy with the result. This was such a refreshing and fun quilt to make, so I might just make another one in different colors. I can see a lot of options here.... First I need to finish up a few other WIP's though :-)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3W9SNQDKmQs/WHDloBfm6sI/AAAAAAAAFA8/Bn3uvJj04t4yViwh4_E2cl17ML8YdQdLgCLcB/s1600/IMG_5196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3W9SNQDKmQs/WHDloBfm6sI/AAAAAAAAFA8/Bn3uvJj04t4yViwh4_E2cl17ML8YdQdLgCLcB/s320/IMG_5196.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are a week into the new year, and I am trying to finish a few WIP's. I made these <a href="http://www.lappemor.no/products/dilly-dally" target="_blank">dilly dally</a> blocks a few months ago, and got sidetracked so I never got around to sew them together. ( pattern by Camille Roskelley)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-quvddiO8fAo/WHDm8euyX6I/AAAAAAAAFBQ/kqN-EYAmmXgTudL6QPrdu7L5YDZtgDPdQCLcB/s1600/_MG_0125.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-quvddiO8fAo/WHDm8euyX6I/AAAAAAAAFBQ/kqN-EYAmmXgTudL6QPrdu7L5YDZtgDPdQCLcB/s320/_MG_0125.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Now I finally got around to finish the quilt top, and it is hanging on the banister along with a few other tops who needs to be quilted.... I made fewer blocks than the pattern called for since I wanted a smaller quilt. Not sure when I will get around to quilt it, but at least I am one step further...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SxOywnsKVyA/WHDloNi_HuI/AAAAAAAAFBA/8yluZlNeaLom--rdXccNUuYYjGfdJk-zwCLcB/s1600/IMG_5197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SxOywnsKVyA/WHDloNi_HuI/AAAAAAAAFBA/8yluZlNeaLom--rdXccNUuYYjGfdJk-zwCLcB/s320/IMG_5197.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Moving along, I had some binding to do on my Octagon Shimmer quilt, beautifully quilted by the talented Merete at <a href="http://meretes quilteloft" target="_blank">Merete's quilteloft</a> This is a big quilt, so I'll probably spend a couple of evenings in front of the TV finishing the binding. Can't wait for it to be finished though, I really like this quilt, and it will look nice on our living room wall :-)</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When we were on vacation in December I brought some hand sewing with me, and thought I'd get a lot done..... Well.... I didn't! So I have finished the applique on this first block, and need to start stitching the rest. This is such a cute pattern by Natalie Bird of <a href="http://thebirdhouse.com.au/about/" target="_blank">the Birdhouse</a> The pattern is called <a href="http://www.lappemor.no/products/birdhouse-the-happy-stitcher" target="_blank">the Happy Stitcher</a> and is super cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It feels good to be able to spend some time in my sewing room again. Hope to finish up a few more WIP's, and as always I have plenty of new projects lined up....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for stopping by, hope your day is great!</div>

Christmas is finally here, and I could open the main gift in the SSCS swap. Jenny made me this lovely table topper, and she even included a pretty kangaroo bookmark and a Minnie Mouse appliqué!</div>

My husband and I just got home from a 2 week vacation last night, and I thought I had written a blog post while we were away, but it's not showing up here..... I was using my iPad and the blogger app, and I haven't used that in ages- does anyone else use the app to write posts? I just wonder what I did wrong....</div>

After our busy days in Houston we headed to Orlando for some fun in the sun :-) Breakfast with a view! We rented a house so we had plenty of space, and our own pool, nice! It was great to unwind and run around shopping.....</div>

Of course we had to visit quilt shops! This is <a href="http://www.heartfeltquilting.com/" target="_blank">Heartfelt quilting and sewing</a> in Kissimmee. They had a lovely shop and they were super nice! Did I buy anything? Well, yes of course I did... LOL</div>

Of course I had to show them the beach- so we headed to Cocoa Beach for a few hours. Lunch at the Cocoa Beach Pier was great! We could eat, get sun and watch the surfers all at the same time. The burger was awesome by the way!</div>

Well, I did quilt my small table topper, the only thing left is hand stitching the binding down, but that will have to wait until after my trip to the States.</div>

So instead of finishing my table topper completely I decided I needed a new wallet for my trip....</div>

This past weekend I managed to sew a "sew together bag" using brand new fabrics that arrived at the shop last week :-) I just love these bags, you can use them for just about anything, and they are fun to make as well! I think they look super cool with all different fabrics for the pockets, but for this one I decided to keep it simple. </div>

This week we have the annual town fair here in Tynset, so last night the shop teamed up with the bakery down the street and hosted a quilting Cafè. 37 quilters from far and near showed up, and we had a lovely time sewing, chatting, eating and drinking coffee.</div>

My thoughts today are with family and friends on Florida's Space Coast and in Orlando. I really wish I could zap them all over here to safety as Hurricane Matthew is getting closer and closer to them, and will hit the Barrier Island area today. This picture is from Cocoa Beach a couple of years ago, now I am afraid to see the damage this monster of a hurricane will do there :-( </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay safe my friends!!</div>

It's that time of year again... October means I'm heading to Houston for Quilt Market, and this year I will be going to Orlando with tree other friends after Market. :-) Of course we will be going to Disney (we are actually running a race or three in the Disney Wine and Dine Half marathon weekend!) So I needed to make myself a little purse with a Disney theme ( I love Minnie Mouse)</div>

The pattern is by Pink Sand Beach Design and is called the <a href="http://store.pinksandbeachdesigns.com/126-maui-glam-bag.html" target="_blank">Maui Glam Bag</a> For those of you in Norway we will have the pattern in stock again in a week or so, it is sold out at the moment.

I am trying to decide what to make with a bundle of this lovely fabric by Heather Givans for Windham Fabrics. Her line is called <a href="http://www.windhamfabrics.com/php/fabricshop/fabricshop.php?a=sc&Category=876" target="_blank">Paper Obsessed</a>, and is just so gorgeous! I will have to think about it for a bit I think.....</div>

This week is busy at the shop as the town fair starts tomorrow and we have long opening hours for the rest of the week. Should be lots of fun, and hopefully lots of customers as well :-)</div>

It's been a while- almost 5 months since I last blogged, wow, how did that happen??? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been sewing though, and staying busy at the shop and at home. This spring I started making blocks for the Smitten quilt (by Lucy Kingwell). I am a slow starter, I know... My plan is just making a couple of blocks now and then- no rush. I am machine piecing the blocks, and really enjoying it.</div>

At Quilt Market last October I fell in love with the Octagon Shimmer Quilt by Jennifer Sampou, and after the pattern and fabrics have been sitting on my cutting table for a while I decided it was time to get started. I LOVE making these blocks- they are pretty quick to sew, and it is so much fun seeing the pattern come to life when I puzzle the half blocks together!</div>

My new Ikea roller cart is perfect for keeping the fabric strips close by when I sew. I might need more of those carts- one for each WIP :-) Might fill up my sewing room though LOL....</div>

This summer my husband and I went to Italy for our vacation, and for the first time it was only the two of us! The kids are not kids anymore, and had plans on their own.... We stayed in Cortina d'Ampezzo for a week, and had lovely hikes every day. The picture is taken by Lago di Sorapis, a lovely lake in the Dolomites. The color of the water was just incredible! We hope to come back there again one day! </div>

This past weekend was the annual meet of the Norwegian Quilt Association. This year it was held in Trondheim, which is only a 2.5hr drive from here- Nice! We have been super busy at the shop getting everything ready for our booth there.</div>

New models were made- these two quilts are from patterns by Sherri McConnell of <a href="http://a quilting life" target="_blank">A Quilting Life</a>, The one on the left is " Dreamcatcher" and the one on the right is "Hope Chest" I just love both quilts! They were both quilted by Merete Ellingsen.</div>

A few weeks ago our quilt guild had a weekend retreat, and we had such a fun weekend sewing, eating, laughing and spending time together. I managed to get two mini quilt tops finished, our guild leader showed us how to make cute little baskets, so of course I made one of those ( she had even cut the batting pieces ready for us :-) And I finally started on "Smitten" ( yeah I know I am like a year behind everyone else....LOL I am machine piecing, and so far this is the only block I have made- no quick progress here I am afraid....</div>

The Norwegian Quilt Guild has it's annual meet in just two weeks, and since december I have been working on new models for our booth there. I have made two quilts from patterns by Sherri at <a href="http://www.aquiltinglife.com/2016/02/favorites_26.html" target="_blank">a Quilting Life</a> and here are some blocks for the Dream Catcher quilt. The quilt is finished- I just need to take a god picture of it....</div>

A lot of non quilting stuff has been happening as well. My sweet daughter turned 22 two weeks ago, and I went to visit her in Oslo where she studies, and we went to see the Mary Poppins musical. Mary Poppins was one of the kid's favorite movies when they were younger ( and it might still be), so we were really excited to see it on stage.</div>

I really need to catch up on my blog reading, Maybe I need to set a specific time each day to blog and read blogs... I seem to never have time for blogging anymore, any suggestions out there?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all have a great day! It looks like I have to do a few laundry loads before heading outside for a walk/run- then I can go to my sewing room and play, yeeey!</div>

Today I managed to sneak in a few hours in my sewing room, which was great! I had planned on making a class sample for a bag class ( actually a wallet class) that starts in a week, but I got sidetracked with these fun blocks! I started on them right after Quilt Market in October, but I still had not finished them.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern and fabrics are by Sherri over at <a href="http://www.aquiltinglife.com/" target="_blank">a Quilting Life</a> and I have now finished all the half square triangles, and need to make the blocks with sashing and cornerstones before sewing the quilt together. Since I have a fat quarter bundle of the fabrics, there isn't enough for the border, so I need to figure out what to do with that. Maybe I'll just skip the border all together?? First I need to finish my blocks though :-) </div>

It took a little over a month, but finally the SSCS swap presents I mailed in November arrived at <a href="http://cherylsstitchings.blogspot.no/" target="_blank">Cheryl's </a>in Australia. I enjoyed stalking Cheryl's blog, and soon discovered she loves snowmen, like myself :-)</div>

This bag is from a pattern by Wenche Wolff Hatling, and it was so much fun to make it, I might just have to make one more for myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a great Christmas, and a fun New Year's Eve. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so looking forward to the new year and all the fun I plan on having in my sewing room! Time to use fabrics from my stash I think. At least that is my plan. But of course I will still get new fabrics, I just need to sew MORE! Sound like a good plan or what??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!</div>

Thank you so much <a href="http://lisavslounge.blogspot.no/2015/12/sscs-received.html" target="_blank">Lisa</a> for the lovely pillow I received in the SSCS swap. Your stitching is just beautiful, and the pillow is gorgeous!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am really sorry my SSCS parcel still has not arrived in Australia, even if it was sent from Norway in November. I really hope it will arrive safe soon, or I will make another gift and send!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope everyone is having a nice Christmas, my thoughts are with our lovely hostess of the SSCS swap, Donna, who lost her sister to cancer right before Christmas. Sending you lots of hugs Donna!</div>

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas!</div>

I don't have any quilts to show you today- most of my sewing time has been spent making my SSCS partner her gift. I hope the sleigh will land at her house in good time before Christmas! I can show you some baking I did though. This cake was so good! it is called a Bounty kladdekake and you can find the recipe (in Norwegian) <a href="http://www.detsoteliv.no/oppskrift/bountykladdekake" target="_blank">here</a> at "Det søte liv" blog. If you like coconut this is an amazing cake! </div>

I was in Røros teaching a bag class in November, and got to try this new Subaru Outback for the weekend. I think I am in love with this car, it was really nice to drive, and it had plenty of room for all my stuff, and I even brought a bit of the shop with me there...</div>

This weekend Svein and Sigve have been away for ski training again, so Ola and I have been "home alone". That means we do what we like best- He watches movies and plays games ( typical 16 year old), and I get to sew..... I am working on my Hope Chest blocks, and I need to find a fabric for the sashing now....</div>

I do have a few projects going.... We needed to make some samples for the shop out of new fabric that arrived right before quilt market- so I started on a few placemats as well....</div>

Last night I basted this together, and I had planned on quilting it today, but I started reading a new book last night (Me before you by Jojo Moyes)( Et helt halvt år) , and I haven't been able to put it down long enough to start quilting..... I am on page 395 now, and I will probably read the last 100 pages tonight.... I am just hopeless when it comes to reading books. I can't seem to put them down until I finish them.... So no more time for blogging.... Thanks for stopping by!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh and by the way- I did get some secret SSCS sewing in as well......</div>

At Quilt Market I finally go to meet <a href="http://www.aquiltinglife.com/" target="_blank">Sherri</a> in person. We have "known" each other for years through blogging, and she was even my "Stitchers angel" in a swap many years ago. The little zippered pouch she gave me in the swap holds all my knitting accessories!</div>

Sherri has a lot of great patterns, and I was lucky to be able to buy a fat quarter pack at sample spree of the new "Valley" fabric line.</div>
