This weekend I've given a class in quiet books. We had a great time together, and all of the ladies made their very own special book. Here is my book and some pictures of some of the pages my students made.

This week has been mild and with much sunshine, but also rain. The spring flowers are popping up everywhere, and I find it the best season of the year.

Last challenge for this year for Project Quilting from Persimon Dreams. It's been so fun. Irish Chain was the challenge this time. and I made a little mug rug to fit in my bread basket.
Thank you so much Kim and Trish for all fun you bring us.
Yesterday I suddenly realised that the week was almost over. |
Wishing you all a Happy Easter. |

Sist helg var jeg med og arrangerte Norsk quiltetreff. Godt over fem hundre personer var innom i løpet av helga, og med kurs, foredrag, 12 butikker, konkurranser og utstillinger var det mye liv og røre. Jeg hadde med noen bidrag til medlemsutstillingen. Her er noen glimt fra helga.
Min mini La Passion med 17 300 kvartinch sekskanter |
Tvillingtepper fra Margun Vatshelle (til venstre) og meg. En studie av stoffer fra flere tiår. |
En nesten hundre år gammel quilt sydd av rester av fôrstoffer. |
En nydelig quilt sydd av 15 år gamle Isa Brevik. Diskusjonen mellom publikum gikk om drikkepress blant ungdom. |
Inger-Ann Olsen var gjesteutstiller. |
Jeg sikret meg dette fine bildet av Inger-Ann, sydd etter en sang av Sting. |
Tilda, Tone Finnanger, var også gjesteutstiller og foredragsholder. |
Fra den flotte Tilda-utstillingen. |
Konkurranse-quilter. |
Flere konkurransequilter. |
En nydelig quilt av Astri Ese Hole. |
Der var 12 butiikker på treffet. |
En av flere quilte-jakker jeg observerte. |
Blokk-lotteriet resulterte i 14 slike gevinst-tepper. |
Takk til alle som kom på treffet og koste seg sammen med oss i styret. Gleder oss allerede til Trondheim neste år.

Wearables in a way for this week's challenge from Persimon Dreams. As it this week was possible to sew other thing than a finished quilt, I thought it was the perfect time to make a page for a quiet book.
Here she is, Miss Perfect, free hand cut and sewn. She's got dresses too. And maybe I will be inspired to make her even more clothes later.

Hourglass is this week's challenge from Persimon Dreams. I made four blocks and found a nice background fabric for this project. A new hot pad is made, 7 1/2" x 11". The little mouse is studying the result.

At last, after about 10 years, it's finished. All hand pieced and hand quilted. And as this is my second La Passion, it won't be another. It's been so fun through all the 17 300 hexies. This last one has a size that I can handle and that I can hang up on my wall. But first it will be sent to an exhibition in Oslo next month. Size: 131 cm x 135 cm.
Here is a picture of the back side so that you can see the quilting, and some close up pictures to show the edge and how I did that.
If you like to read more about this project you can look here. And my first La Passion you can read about here.

I've wanted to sew improv fish for a long time. When I saw this challenge from @quiltsfromtheattic I had to jump in. I'm planning to sew one fish every day for a period. Here is my fabric pull and my three first fish blocks.
