This "heart and love" day are getting more and more popular
in Norway as well; mainly among the young generation. All shops
now do what they can to make this day popular for all.

Yesterday I made 1 mug rug for each of my 2 grandchildren,
seize approx. 10" x 7". According to their Mum they had a clue
who put the two in the post box this morning...lol...
A challenge from years back is finished.
Sunbonnet Sue is a big favourite of mine :-)
Long time ago at my quilt club NBQL we were given 4 small pieces
of fabric: blue, white with green flowers, yellow and the striped one.
So I decided to make the 4 seasons with Sunbonnet Sue, from the
pattern book called:" the ultimate Sunbonnet Sue collection" (2000).
Its is hand quilted and mainly hand appliqued.
The back ground fabric looks definitely a worn out mainly due
to different quilting and continuously using the seam riper and iron.
But on the whole it is looking nice on the wall from a bit of a distance :))
Got to remember though to sew a fringe on the blue scarf ... lol
Must just tell you I am busy on Thursday MAY 8. 2014
for the whole of the day; have put my name down for a work class.
ANNI DOWNS is coming to Oslo to Kathrines Quiltestue I`ll be there !
