This is a French song, and I made not only one house, but sixteen. And here is my blue city for the quiltalong by Cocopatch.

Kawandi
The last months I've been practicing kawandi. It would be great to take a class, but most of all it needs experience. I've watched some youtube videos, and studied pictures. I'm still learning, and it's so calming and fun.
Last week I had a class for some friends, so they shouldn't have to do all the mistakes I've been through. We had a nice evening, and all of us started a book cover.
When I had finished my piece, it was a bit too big for the book I had bought. So I made it into a little pouch instead. When I found a sweet owl and a matching button to put on, it ended up just perfect.

City Sampler - progress
I've had so much fun with these blocks. And after I decided to make one block a week, the progress has been slow and steady. Here are the blocks from the last two months.

Micromini
It's May and time for micromini quilts. My first ones this time are made into beautiful pincushions. And when I first started, I couldn't stop. So I made six of them, two with tabs. I don't often use these colours, but now I see that they are beautiful.

Scrappy quilt finished
In October last year I started this scrappy quilt. I finished it a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to show you. Here it is. It's made with only one size scraps, 2 1/2" x 4 1/2". The blocks are so easy to sew. You can see the start of it here, and there it's also possible to study how one block is made.

Chilhowie Mystery Quilt
Last week I finished the binding for my little Chilhowie. I made just 4 out of 16 blocks. But I found it very interesting to be a part of this mystery by Bonnie Hunter even though I couldn't make the entire quilt. My talented longarm quilter Sølvi Mikkelsen quilted it for me.
With the nice weather we have just now, it was fun to take the quilt to the sea to take some photoes.

Mini La Passion - top finished
At last I can present for you the finished top for my quarter inch La Passion. I've worked with it for years, and by now there's about 16 800 hexies. I will need more than 500 for the binding too. Now I will start hand quilting it, and plan to get it all finished in about a year.

Kawandi with a secret
It's been a while since I made an art quilt page for Art Journal Journey. This month the theme is "anything goes", so I hope this will do. I made a page with a little kawandi. This little piece hides a card of a beautiful quilt made of a talented quilter in Bergen. This is the last page in my new little art journal.

Colourwash quilt
In October last year I started this quilt by digging into my scrap bins. Now it's finished, and has been exhibited at the annual meeting of the Norwegian Quilt Association last weekend. It was a project I did together with my friend Margun. We started the blocks together and then made them at home, in different parts of Norway. After three months we met again and had a nice time trying to join the blocks the best way. Here is the result, and a glimpse from the exhibition. Margun also made that nearest quilt you can see, a pattern from Sew Kind of Wonderful.
