Happy new year

I wish you all my dear blogging friends a happy new year, may it be filled with peace, joy and time to sew.

Before Christmas we had a game at work playing secret santa. The lady I was supposed to give secret gifts is a very nice one. We began the same day the yulelads began to come to town and had the latest gift on Friday before Christmas. That one was supposed to be extra big and then we revealed who was their secret santa. I wanted to have it something special so at last I decided to make this little bag and filled it with candles. I was so happy because she liked it a lot and was so surprised.




2007 has been a very inspiring year for me on the quilting front and it is just because of YOU. I had never imagined how many beautiful quilts were made out there. I hope 2008 will be as inspiring and fun as 2007. Thank you...

Where did you get that gorgeous fabric ? The one you've used for the main part of the bag is lovely and I would love to track some down. Happy New Year Gudrun.

Happy New Year!! That is so cute! I love the fabric that you used. Did you have a pattern or just design it yourself? I just love how the handle looks.

Hi Guðrún,

I've really enjoyed reading your blog, and learning about Iceland. I'm originally from Denmark, but have lived in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia for the last 24 years. You do a lot of lovely patchwork and quilting! The bag's beautiful. Take care. Henrijette

I love your new header and I too want to know where you got the fabric in the beautiful bag?

Sarah Nopp said...

Nice bag! I am intrigued by the handle- how is that made and attached?

Cordula Klöfkorn said...

Happy new year to you! I also like the bloggerworld, isn't it fun to communicate with so many quilters? To see what we all are working, all over the world. I like it very much. And not only the quilting, sometimes it is also funny to lern new things like "your" santas. Best wishes from Cologne and a happy and creatvie 2008!
