Before I say goodbye to the weekend, I will not spend at the carnival, but with 25 other lunatics in a Nähwochenende, I leave with you something from the past.
Two and a half years, my hubby and I have a dream: We are with the Hurtigruten, the Norwegian Coast ascended to the North Cape on the way back and have one weeks station made in Lofoten. One of the resulting photos there (Nusfjord) was the basis for this little wall hanging (about 40x70cm).
Before I say goodbye and go for a crazy quilt sewing weekend with other girls, I would like to show you a special quilt I made in connection with a holiday travel to Norway and the Lofoten Islands in summer 2008. One of the pictures my husband took there was the base for this small wall hanging quilt (40x70cm).
First, I have the picture in DIN-A-4 size printed. Then I have a film (eg for overhead projectors) laid over it and traced its contours. The parts I've numbered and copies the film (as a template for the assembly). The film was cut and I traced the items on Freezerpaper and cut out. Then the iron-on cloth and apply Freezerpaperstücke from top to bottom on a background. Finally, I have the quilt even with the trees, which merge into a suitable block pattern, "extended". It was great fun to work with this quilt, it is certainly not the last of its kind that I have sewn.
now hangs the quilt picture in the living room and I can always remember this unique journey!
First I enlarged the picture to DIN-A-4 and printed it. Than I overlaid an overhead tranperancy, copied the contours, numbered the pieces, made a duplicate of this and cut it out. Now I copied the pieces on freezer paper and cut it out again. Next step was to iron the freezer paper pieces on my fabrics and appliqued them on a background. At least I "extended" the quilt with the trees and a matching block pattern.
I had so much fun by sewing this memory-quilt! Now it is hanging in my living room and I can remember this fantastic travel every time!
