May I invite you all over for a cup of coffee and some cake to celebrate my two years blogiversary. August 2nd 2006 my blog was created and I published my first post. I started to blog in both norwegian and english, but after a while I decided to do it just in english. I fumbled a bit in the beginning with my english, but with help from a translater from norwegian to english I improved my english very fast. Hanne was the one that pushed me into blogging. Thank you Hanne, it's been so fun.I've published 366 posts.
I've had over 300 000 visitors (OMG)
I've some bloggers on my conscience, like Laila, Nancy, Gudrun and some more (can't remember right now, so if you're one of my consciense let me know LOL)
I've found a lot of new friends all over the world in blogland. The Quilters Blogland is a great place to be. There is so much inspiration, so many beautiful projects and so many nice words to read.
There have been so many fun happenings like the Blogging sleepover started by Fiona. And the Secret Santa Christmas Swap organized by Donna. She is starting another swap real soon and guess who joins that one too. And Linda who organized the pincushionswap and now are doing a bag/bucket swap (I'm in there too LOL)
I've met several bloggers in person. Like in january when Nadine came over from Belgium to visit me. And last october when I met Leanne Beasley and we had a great time in Trysil at her workshop. Same workshop where I met Stina and Marica. And of course all the norwegian bloggers that I meet now and then (see the list on my sidebar)
I am so proud to have been asked by Helen Stubbings to be one of the designers in her Stitchers Angels. I'm soon finished my project and I know my week to publish my pattern.
I could go on and on about happy things in blogland and my life, but I guess you all agree that quilting friends are the best friends. I'm so glad you're my friend.
To celebrate my 2 years blogiversary I want to have a giveaway. You all know I'm crazy about stitchery. To combine stitching together with patchwork is one of my favorite. I draw some lines myself (like the one you are getting in the Stitchers Angel project from me), and I love stitchery from other designers. I want to share my passion for this with you and want to give away a booklet from one of my favorite designers.
If you want to be in the draw for this book please leave a comment on this post and tell me what's your favorite tecnique in quilting.
And monday 4th august I will draw one lucky winner that receives the booklet. Since I'm celebrating my two years anniversary I'll also have a secret prize for a second person in the draw (that means I really don't know what it will be right now, but it will be something made by me)
If you post about this giveaway on your blog I'll give you an xtra chance in the drawing.
Saying for today:
A friend
is laughter and going places
and doing new things
and having the best time ever

Gratulerer så mye med to år i bloggeverdenen. Det har vært svært koselig å bli kjent med deg, og følge alle dine prosjekter. Savner det veldig når det går en stund uten oppdateringer. Og så gir du oss så mange linker ut i verden, slik at vi finner andre bloggere, tusen takk for det også.
Favorittquilte-teknikk? vet ikke helt - liker gjerne å prøve ut nye mønster av alle slag, liker håndsøm, håndquilting av små saker, mebn symaskina er nå mitt hjerte nermest da. Legger en link til posten din hos meg.
Congrat for your two bloganniversary!! That's great!! I'm expecting to do the same but only for one year at the end of this!!
About my favourite tech I can say to you that am new quilting and sewing into patch, so every tech I know, every tech I like to. So, hand patch, applique,curves, mixing broderie and patch... I'm learning all I can but not all I would like to.
Regards from Spain; and hope you can understand my english
Mila
Congrats about your 2° bloganniversary!!! I hope you'll be very happy!!!

I'm so happy for you!
I'm so happy to do sticheries in a quilt, so hopefully you will make MANY of this kind of pattern?!
I didn't reallize you had been blogging so long! I've enjoyed peeking at your life across the pond every so often and I love your work. Hmm, my favorite part of quilting? that is HARD, I really love most everything about it. I love the thrill of having a new project start to come together, the right fabric, pattern, or my own idea. I guess that's why I have so many UFO's!!!
Congratulations. I love the patching the most and trying to find some unique pattern to do it or designing one myself
Congratulation! I like your blog.
I can't say whats my favorite technic, i love handquilting and also paper piecing or applique.
LG, Britta

Hello,
it doesn't matter if I win or not. I found your blog and laugh about the cartoons! The posts about the stitcheries are very beautiful.
I like to make redwork, little stitches in one colour in combination with patchwork.
Happy Bloganniversary!
Simone
May Britt, please enter me in your drawing since I LOVE redwork !
I use to love quilting but due to a back problem I have switched to redwork & stitchery ...I can do it on the couch. I always have to have my hands busy, otherwise i get into trouble ;-)

Hej och grattis till två år av bloggande. 366 inlägg, det är många tankar att dela med sig av.
Jag har ännu inte vågat språnget till en engelsk text men jag funderar på att våga prova. Din blogg inpirerar mig att göra ett försök.

If I had a blog I would surely say nice things about yours. As it is, I just enjoy seeing what you are doing especially with the hand stitchery. I have never used it in quilting!! But you do inspire me. Congratulations
Congratulations!
Blogging helps to make the world smaller.

Congratulations on your second year of blogging anniversary! I only recently started blogging.
I must say my favorite technique to use in quilting is hand quilting. I've only machine quilted one quilt on my sewing machine. Missed the feel of the fabric and even the pricks from the quilting needle.

I'm new to your blog, but loving it! I really would love to travel to your part of the world. I'm not sure I have a favourite quilting technique, just enjoy learning about everyone else's. I do ove though, my pfaff 2056. It certainly helps to make quilting easy.
Congratulations!Thanks for share your skills with us (sorry about my english!!)
I'm still learning, I'm a begginer quilter...but I can say that I like everything until now!

Hello!
I'm a bit late to join in but this is my first post ever. I was so tempted by the book and grateful for the ideas I read on your blog that I just had to speak... My favourite technique is the actual quilting - I like to do it by hand and I love the change that happens in a quilt when it is quilted, everything seems to come together; very satisfying.
Keep inspiring us,
Barbara

I'm a bit late for this giveaway but I'll try anyway. This is the first time I have ever posted... My favourite technique is the actual quilting - I like to do it by hand and see the quilt magically changing as it acquires beautiful textures.

Oh, my, am I too late. It's August 4th here in the states and I have just found your blog. It's lovely! Happy 2 year blogiversary!!! I look forward to seeing what your project will be on the Angel project. Smiles across the miles!!
Oj, man är sent ute ser jag! Lite tårta kvar? Hm, synd att det var försent... hade gärna haft lite att brodera och sytt till det kommande första barnbarnet! Hm, dock känner jag mig inte som en blivande mormor, men ändå ;) Måste göras lite saker ändå, så... Oki, jag får leva vidare och leta vidare efter något kul att göra - dock såg det ut att finnas rätt mycket kul i den där ja, suck...
Må så grankott...
Congratulations on 2 years of blogging. All the things you said I so related to. It's been a fun ride for me too. It has opened up my world and inspired me to try so many different things. I'm formost a quilter, but since blogging, have tried a myriad of crafts and projects and just loved it all.
