The Goodbye Quilt

I am sorry for not blogging much this week. I blame it on internet, or lack of access that is. I hate when my gadgets doesn`t work, and me not knowing how to fix it!

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.
