My book, “Gledesspredere – frittgående applikasjoner” (with the danger of getting lost in translation: "Rays of sunshine – free ranged appliqué") was presented at the publisher Cappelen Damm’s craft club website yesterday.
The book will physically be at the publisher’s at March 28th and shipped to me soon after that. It has 50 little quilts and a gallery of projects made in different materials. I had a blast stitching, painting, gluing and playing with the shapes, and could probably fill another book with just these.
You can expect a giveaway – and pictures. I’m waiting for the high resolution photos; the first time my work is professionally photographed I’ll most certainly use them rather than my own ill lit snapshots taken in a hurry before I dropped the quilts off back in December:)
If you can’t wait, why don’t you pop over and have a look here and here; even my best quilting buddies haven’t seen the quilts yet...
Such a lovely sneak peek!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Nina, I can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I hope to be able to see it one day.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you!!! I loved the preview!!! What a creative take on quilting. You are going to make a lot of people happy!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! It is fun to see your new shapes for appliqué. I'm sure many, many people will buy this book--including me! Do you know when it will be for sale in the US?
ReplyDeleteDet se veldig spennende ut, gleder meg...

How wonderful! Congratulations! I, too, hope your book will be available in the US. I love your work...so original and inspiring! Thanks for the peek!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love it! The sneak peak is wonderful!!! You are a philosopher, too. Where will the loving couple live? I loved Georg the chicken, and the long legged birds. The cute cats and dogs, I can see them as puppets. What else could possibly be in the rest of the book? It must be amazing.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a job well done... and on getting published (no small feat). I am so proud to know you.
Hugs!
Love it!!! Jag älskar den redan. Den kanske finns att köpa i Aalborg under NQT?
ReplyDeleteOooh how exciting!! I went to the links, couldn't read any of the words, but the photos looks great. You must be so proud to see your work in print. It looks like a lovely, bright fun book. I think I'll just have to buy a copy (will it be in English?) Congratulations again :)
ReplyDeleteOooh I had to peek, it looks great. I always love your creatures. Can't wait to see it in person....Have to make sure and let us know how we can get one. xox
