I am a Norwegian quilter who, amongst other things, designs patterns and teaches classes, and my first book was published this spring (see the top of the sidebar). This is my first blog hop with the Quilting Gallery. Although our school days are long gone, I still enjoy this time of year when everything, inluding myself, seems to settle down after the summer holidays.
My prize for the giveaway is these two small fall inspired mixed media quilts made with my layer upon layer technique using different kinds of sheer fibers on a felted wool foundation.
Everything is cut freeform using scissors, so both the shapes and edges are perfectly imperfect.
The quilts are made to be hung together, but can also hang separately.
I have been debating with myself whether to add text or not, so I decided I would leave it up to the winner: If I draw your name – what would you like them to say? I will use the suggestion made by the winner and add text or leave it according to her/his wishes. If you don’t have an opinion that’s fine; I’ll figure it out.)
So, for a chance to win you have to leave a comment to this post. Please make sure I have a way of contacting you if you should win. I will ship internationally.
The giveaway is open until September 3rd when the winner will be randomly picked by Random.org in the evening (Norwegian time). Good luck to you all and make sure to stop by at the other participants’ blogs. You’ll find them here.
Sorry, the giveaway is now closed.
Congratulations on 3 years of blogging!! Please count me in your giveaway!! Looks so amazing. The text? I will let you know if I win!! Good luck with the blog hopping!!

Happy blogversary. The quilts are lovely.
ReplyDeleteCongrat's on your anniversary! I think either way is just fine as a gift.
ReplyDeleteHappy blogoversary! I love the quilts and think some words would really add to them, but I'm not sure what. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThese are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love the Rush song, "Trees". I would put these words on:(#1)...and the oaks
(#2)...ignore their pleas
I love the work you do. Thank you for the chance to win these 2 beauties and congrats on the blog-aversary!
ReplyDeleteLove these....to me they say: Settled.
ReplyDeleteI've always thought Autumn offers quiet thoughts and a chance to settle in.
Happy blogiversary! Very pretty! I think I will put some blessing words on the leaf :)
ReplyDeleteHappy 3 years of blogging!!! I love the hangings - the colours are beautiful. Not sure what I would want 'texted' on them... I would have to think on it. They look great just as they are! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see these in person!
ReplyDeleteNoe så nydelig. Jeg ville ikke ha gjort noe mer med dem, kun beholdt dem som de er. Tusen takk for at jeg får sjansen til å vinne. tubakk@online.no
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to win these! I usually have a rule of only entering giveaways with fabric, but I had to make an exception for these. They would go perfectly with my colour scheme. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! I might say Love Always Believes
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely quilts. I don't have any art quilts but it would be great to own those. thanks for a chance.
ReplyDeleteIf you pick me I am not sure about text.
Oh Nina Lise, these are absolutely beautiful. If I were lucky enough to win, I'd truly treasure this always. Although I'd have a personal struggle to display it in my living room, bedroom or sewing room. Guess I'd have to rotate. And, you are so good with words I'd rather you pick (if I were so lucky).
ReplyDeleteInspirational mixed-media art. Love it. What a treasure!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on publishing a book! Your art is unique & beautiful. I would want text, but I not sure what exactly.
ReplyDeleteHmm that's tricky text or no text ... my first reaction was no text, but thinking about it, as it's a gift maybe you shoudl sign it in a way ... else the words tree and winter, icy, fog come to my mind ..
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your first own book!
Thanks for the chance!
Nina, Thank you for the chance to win such a great prize.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh how pretty. Love this color scheme. Now I know what you were stitching.....Happy blogaversary and take care, be well and sleep with the babies. xox
