This weekend I have been working like a mad woman on a new project. A dear colleague of mine is retiering, and I have persuaded my other colleagues to make a quilt for him as a goodbye present. We all thought his last working day would be in May, but now we find he is leaving 12. March!!! This means we are in a hurry!!!!!!
Kjell, that is his name, lives i the west of Norway, and every weekend he drives 6-7 hours (one way!!!) to get home and back again. What a guy!! I just had to make a stitchery of him driving over the mountains. Everybody is writing a personal greeting, whitch then is stitched onto fabric. I have displayed some of the fabrics I am planning to use. The colors will be brown and black. My fellow colleagues was afraid the quilt would be way to sweet and romantic (my style). I had to promise them to make a more masculine quilt. After some negotiation we have now agreed that I can use a little bit of flowers as well LOL.
Have fun sewing!

Så spennende prosjekt!

Saa artig! Og jeg er sikker paa det blir ferdig i tide. Fargene passer fint til en mann. Gleder meg til aa se det ferdig!
