The micromini challenge is ending, and I managed to make nine miniquilts during the month. Here are the last six. And here you can see the first three.
Thank you Lesley for your challenges every month of May.

Scrappy meets thrift
Some weeks ago I started a challenge from @reproquiltlover to make small economy blocks. Every week I've made some new blocks, always using fabric from my scrap bin. This week I met some quilting friends, and even if we talked a lot and had a great time, I managed to make some new blocks. There is also a picture of the 36 blocks I've made earlier for this project.

Micromini month
May is the month of miniquilts. And Lesley is the queen of minis and is hosting the challenge also this year. I can not resist the temptation of making some minis. These are for the first ten days of the month, two doll house cushions and a mini selvage quilt. Hope to make more during May. You can join in whenever you like this month.

It must have wings
And butterflies have wings, so I'm taking part in the challenge on Art Journal Journey this month. This is a page for my art journal. Soon I have enough pages to make a book.

Economy blocks - a challenge
This week Taryn on @reproquiltlover tempted me with these mini blocks. And I had to start immediately. It's a fun sew-along called "scrappymeetsthriftchallenge", and you could certainly jump in if you like. My first blocks were done yesterday. Now I'm preparing for many more of them the next weeks to come. Hopefully I can use many of my precut scraps. And to get the blocks perfect, I foundation piece them.

The tree
This little wall hanging was finished a couple of weeks ago, just in time for an exhibition in Trondheim. It is hand sewn and hand quilted with embroidery stitches.

Fly away
On Art Journal Journey this month the theme from Erika is Spring Birds. I found a little bird, and you can see it's spring when the little girl is playing outdoors. The flowers are blooming, also here. It's a wonderful time.

House quilt
Here is my house quilt made for the Norwegian Quilt Association's exhibition last weekend. My friend Margun and I made twin quilts, as we have done for years for this exhibition. The quilts are made partly together here or at her place, with some envelopes of fabric going between us during the year. So fun to see them together finished. My quilt is quilted by Sølvi Quiltestudio.

Book cover and a snowman
A while ago I made this book cover inspired by Vincent van Gogh. It has been a secret project, but now I can show you. On the front side I have put "'Starry night" and on the back side it's "Sunflowers". I used old denim scraps and other small pieced from my scrap bag. The inside is also hand quilted, as you can see.
I made a little snowman yesterday. He's struggling with the higher temperatures today. Hopefully he will be the last snowman here this winter.

Project Quilting 16-5
Follow your arrow, that's the challenge this week from Kim and Trish on Persimon Dreams. And as I have so little time this week too, I had to make a new pincushion. I think this will be the year of pincushions and miniature cushions for the challenge. But I love pincushions, so here it is.
