I should be working... but playing with Flickrs mosaic toy was more tempting than writing. I really like the snail!

colours

Sorry about the lack of posts... what can I say? That I'm busy, its not enough hours, I've been tired, just lazy? It would have been easier to write norwegian?
The importance of colour: Choices to make, all the difficult decisions about what colour to use, the amount and which area to colour? And the choices applies also to my quilting experiences... the choice of fabrics, textures and threads.

7am in the morning, -5C, windy, blue-red-yellow.

Pine photo

With a little twist in Corel; a pink Pine & Snow photo. Maybe useful as a pattern or just plain color inspiration? I like the colors and the sharp edges of the pine needles.

I love fabrics...

Look! Japanese fabrics... I'm so excited! I'm starting a new japanese fabrics club in March, in the webshop Northern Quilts. The fabrics are soft, tightly wowen and really really wonderful.

For the craft lovers: Check out Whip Up... modern crafting, lots of ideas and inspirational comments on craft blogging!

Moonlight Cat quilt

This is just a part of the moonlight cat quilt wallhanging, I'll show you all of it when I've written the whole pattern. I've got customers in my quilt shop waiting for this... but I'm just human... and I need some time for writing & printing. But the nice photo for the pattern cover is still missing,- perhaps I'll have to buy some professional lighting? or maybe I'll have to take the quilt outdoors, in the blueish and weak january daylight. Hmm.
