Opening of my exhibition in Gällivare

Focus to work more, work to focus better. Yes, thats what I have been doing since last post in this blog.
I get very unsocial, I close the door, I do not go out, nearly doesn't answer the telephone.
But I am very satisfied with the result of my exhibition together with Rita Andersson, who is working with tradional patchwork. The idea  was to show the roots of Artquilt, so I invited Rita to exhibit with me.
The exhibition is running up to the 28 of October, so there is plenty of time if you want to pass by.







The Red/Black quilt from which I constructeed my logo, is sold and I will miss it. I missed it so much that I went straight home and started to strip-peace a new top that. I do not know where it will lead me. But I seem to like it again ,strip-piecing.
I have mainly been working wholecloth the last years, since I often paint and discharge my fabric  as a painter,ready to be quilted.

Well, the winter started slowly up here in the North of Sweden and my morning walks are refreshing.

  6. Thank you for your heartwarming comments.
    I am very satisfied with my exhibition, since I also sold 3 pieces. This is a personal breakthrough in my hometown Gällivare, The Mining Capital of Europe. The inhabitants here are mainly used to hardwares and a rather male society.

  7. Hi Gunilla! What beautiful pieces. I can see why you will miss the top one, so gorgeous.
    I recently became a follower of your blog and I thought you might be interested in doing the same. We manufacture a product called deColourant. It removes and replaces the color of dyed fabrics with ease and gives off a slight citrus smell. I think you might like to use this product in your work. We ship all over the world. Have a great day and stay warm!
