Summer Swap

What a long break!! I do hope some of my blogging friends are still there....Would be nice to hear from you again!

This is a quiltie (size 6 x 6") I've made for a swap called "House Quiltie". It will be on it's way to US tomorrow!

More Quilties

I have received the two first quilties in a swap in the Art4Mail-group called "Seahorses and Mermaids". Peggy made the first one, Nicki the next. It's a good idea to klick on the photos to admire alle the details!! Thanks a lot ladies.

This year I have joined a fabric book swap hosted by Ati in a group called Fibre Fever. Each partisipant has decided a theme for the book, and every mont we'll send and received a page for the book. This quiltie is the first page of my fabric book made by Marja in the Netherlands. Marja wrote that it shows winter flowers growing from their bulbs, longing for spring. Just what I needed - they say we have 3 times more snow in Oslo now than normal! Again, please klick on the photo to see the deatails.

Seahorse Quiltie

Art4Mail, a Yahoo-group I'm a member of, do not only swap postcards, but also inchies, Dotee-dolls, flat dolls, pin cushions, and this time Quilties (size 6 x 6"). This is one of three quilties I've made for a swap called Mermaids and/or Seahorses. The background fabric is hand painted, and I've been playing with more paints, free hand quilting and the embroidey unit for my Bernina.

Cyber Fyber

CYBER FYBER EXHIBITION is an international fiber arts event at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios, 808 Lady Street in downtown Columbia, South Carolina, on view from January 8th through 20th, 2009.

Thanks to Susan Lenz for the idea and for organizing it all!! What a job it must have been, putting it all together.

Snakes and Ladders

I think this game is called "Snakes and Ladders" in English - anyway it's a fun game to play for "childish" persons. I made it for my grandson for Christmas.

Happy New Year To All My Visitors

Goodies in the Mail

I've received my Shades of the Forest quilties from Lenna's Creative Swaps. Thanks to Kiki, Fabienne, Wil and Sharon for your beautiful work!!

Then 5 lovely Christmas ornaments from Beate Knappe's international ornament swap. Great fun! I'll join next year as well, Beate!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Emma's Tree

In the Art4Mail group we are doing a Christmas swap called "Emma's Tree". This is my tree, which will be in the mail for Canada today.

One of the members of the group lost her daughter Emma in breast cancer some years ago. This pattern is made in honour of Emma. Finished, it measures 22 x 19". I loved making the tree, and I've printed several prints and will use them as this years Christmas cards.

I think it's very touching of Miriam making this tree and name it after her beloved daughter.
