All through-out my 6 years of blogging, I have now and then been<br />
telling you about my Butterfly Garden quilt :-)</div>

When soon up on the wall, it will really remind me of my blogging time.<br />

The 2015 book will be ordered soon. I think my years of blogging<br />
have passed. Please visit me on FaceBook if you can; my name:<br />
Grethe Vinje Holmen. I write about this and that, but not so often.<br />
<br />
Unfortunatly I am not able to do both activities. Unless a miracle happens<br />
like : ?? my blog will not be active. This post, I am sad to say,<br />
is the last one to you from a Quilt Lady. Thank you all so much for<br />
being my blog-friends, Norwegians and from other countries.<br />
I have loved your comments.<br />
Especially BIG THANKS to<br />
Chookyblue for SALs and SSCSs + Peg and Chris for OPAMs.<br />
You three made me work extra hard at times and good luck further on :))<br />
<br />
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas 2015 and a Happy New Year 2016;<br />
among things I`m off into an UFO-year.<br />

1. Meeting my blogfriend <a href="http://nordquilt.blogspot.no/">Oddbjørg</a> was so nice.<br />
She gave me some beautiful season flowers, such a good match<br />
to the Autumn colours all around us these days. I love the Autumn!<br />

We enjoyed eating lunch, visiting Kathrines Quilt Shop.<br />
(unable to transfer pics from my mob to my blog)<br />
We both agreed we would have wait to starting the "Smitten" quilt,<br />
untill we had finished more of our UFO`s .<br />

2. Another famous designer from Australia JEN KINGWELL<br />
has just visited Oslo for 5 days. Oh, lucky us getting inspired by her<br />
fabrics with fresh colours and exciting blocks. Jen had brought 15 or was<br />
it 20 beautiful quilts for the Show and Tell evening. I was seated in row 4 of 15.<br />
May Brit of <a href="http://abyquilt.blogspot.com/">Abyquilt</a> was in first row. She has some great pictures on her blog!<br />

out as Helle gave me advice on my turn-under on one of my<br />
slow-working projects the ChinaShop quilt :-)<br />

Fewer buys than earlier years, but love what I bought, of course.<br />
<br />
I came home after being in UK after 6 days.<br />
I loved it there this year too! I did bring with me some stitching<br />
for my Butterfly Garden, but my little sewing box was not opened!!<br />
Back to normal now with sewing etc. AND celebrations for SIL<br />
on the 5th and my DD on the 14th in the lucky month of September,<br />
both being 40 years old :-) Happy Sewing to you, from Grethe xx </div>

So far, so good: stitchery all done for Gail Pan`s bag, moving</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on soon as possible with the cutting and sewing; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
may be very delayed due the holiday coming up soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
and I was lucky to buy some fabrics at half price.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The range is from Sweetwater by Moda and called Sunkissed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From our best Q-shop here in Oslo: Kathrines Quiltestue,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by me called Kat.Q. ... lol ...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I think the fabric is a good match to our Easter china called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Woodland" by Wood and Sons , Burslem England</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
bought by my mother years ago and is discontinued. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fabrics are for a table topper at Easter time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, as I said our summerholiday soon to be, same as every year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT before that is the Tour de France. In quilting circles called</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"TOUR de FIBER", started by<a href="http://abyquilt.blogspot.com/"> MayBritt</a> and <a href="http://hannesquilt.blogspot.com/">Hanne</a> some years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Great fun as well as very serious; I will be stitching on "Simply Blessed". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as preparing on my very,very slow project "Butterfly Garden".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When reading your blogs, OH, how I admire those of you finishing projects.</div>

Thank you Chookyblue for inviting me to your 3 years shed party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without you this kit would still have been in the box.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Must admit I had thought I had finished it all in one weekend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but June month is such a good month to work on UFOs :))</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
beautiful quilts with beautiful colours. Kaffe`s lecture took us into </div>

his life as an arts and crafts man from the very start. He is still creating </div>

My ceramic pictures come out every Spring,<br />
hanging on the wall for a fairly short time :-)<br />
<br />
Just 7 days to go before Kaffe Fassett is opening his exhibition<br />
"50 years in Colours". I love lots of Kaffe`s designs/fabrics as well as<br />
from the designer Brandon Mably, also travelling with KF.<br />
We are about 30 quilters from one of my quilt guilds to be enjoing<br />
this on coming Saturday. Takes about a good hour`s drive into a<br />
beautiful country side of Norway! It will be such a thrill!<br />

"Kaffe Fassett China Shop 2015".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gave almost up as I did not receive any magazines; I have really </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hated Homespun due to their lack of involment. To cut it all short </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I owe thousends of thanks to <a href="http://patchworkangel.com.au/"> Penny </a>at The Patchwork Angel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penny has really been an ANGEL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
involved herself into this. So Homespun has now sent the missing<br />
magazines. I have know Penny and her very kind helpers for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
many years. Her quiltshop was one of the first ones I visited on the net.<br />

Remember I told you. eight weeks ago I joined a group </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
not to have a single bit of chocolate for these weeks :-)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
WELL, did I loose weight? No, not really, just like 0.400 gr. which </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is next to nothing. It was only difficult after the evening meal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I feel a bit proud I managed to stick to the rules given. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy your the first week of Spring; for my blog friends in</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
As February is such a short month, I am so glad I managed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> to write one post at the nick of time ... lol ...!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
February is in fact our winter month no.1, lately weather-wise</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we wake up to any sort of day: warm, cold, sun, rain, wind, snow + etc....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Sure you can see my car down there from our bedroom window, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
by the evening all snow rained away:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have AT LAST finished one block of Simply Blessed.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of my friends have finished 5 blocks, now I really must make</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
a plan how to solve a little problem in this respect, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as the total is 9 big blocks altogether.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my version of Kaffe Fassett`s" TEAPOTS" from his book</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Quilts in Morocco". The quilt came back yesterday from the long-arm</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
quilter, Merete, at <a href="http://sy.no/">sy.no</a> . She does the most perfect machine quilting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy to say I love the fabric with the bright colours!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think my name must be:" Happy teapots in my flower garden"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All fabrics from my Kaffe Fasset+ Brandon Mably+Phillip Jacobs box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I redused the seize 50 pct. The seize is now aprox, 60" x 80".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By changing things around in the kitchen, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it is bound to fit on a wall. Will be so perfect :-) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rembember two of the table mats from some years back? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At last I have managed to finish the next two. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The main fabric is also Kaffe Fassett`s, from his "Bekah" range,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
bought the fabric "the Festival of Quilts" in 2008 or 2009. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the kitchen table here, just for testing :-) See the matching glasses, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they were new-made when Norway arranged the Olympic Games. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We only have these 4, they have the special Olympic sign engraved on them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
MARCH will be such a busy month. Some SPECIAL events will take place:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"40" ... "75" ... 20-23 ... 29 ... probably etc. here as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Stay put, and I will tell you later :-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, all for now! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But first I must admit: I have really failed in my promise to myself on </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
New Years Eve year. 2015 should have been my UFO-year ONLY.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.Feeling so confident day after day after day... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept my promise till February 15th. Then, alas(? / :-),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I signed up for a sort of a BOM, more info on this my blog later one day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Wishing you a happy sewing time! Hugs, Grethe xx.</div>

... I might not have told you that I, on facebook, have joined a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
sort of a health group promising not to eat sweet for 8 weeks,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
started on January 5th and contiuenig till MARCH! I have been tempted, yes,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but have managed to say no to myself. (not much weight-loss yet though)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hurry up March month to come, more than one reason to be celebrating</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with lots of sweets, cakes and delecious food!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till later, Take Care, from Grethe.</div>
