A quilted pillow
This weekend I have been connected with my pc for h-o-u-r-s (!) writing catalogue texts for Silkeborg and Korea, and still I’m not finished. Especially the interview questions for Korea take a lot of thinking. I find it really exacting to write in a foreign language when it comes to explaining concepts and visions. I’m struggling to find the proper terms and expressions… but at least I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now…
Another project is some quilt- and pillowdesigns for Hendes Verden. I think I’m satisfied with this one.

At the library
Today I’ve spend half the afternoon arranging quilts and stuff in glass exhibition cases. On occasion of the publication of my book – and the fact that it is now available at the library – I have been invited to show some of my works at Kolt-Hasselager Bibliotek. Hope you´ll come and check it out during the next month.

My daughter – the actress
Two major parts in one week: Tuesday she turned 16.
Tonight she performs at her school as Mary Kelly in From Hell, a play speculating upon the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper once in Victorian London. It’s a rather cruel, blood dripping story…and a big challenge and learning process for her and her class. They started weeks before Christmas rewriting the story into speech and scenes, rehearsing, finding costumes, creating the set pieces, programmes, posters, and finally it’s time for dress rehearsal and first performance…

Patchwork design
At the moment I work hard to finish a new patchwork project.
I have agreed with Hendes Verden, a Danish magazine, to design a quilt + a couple of pillows and to write additional tutorials for their spring issue featuring patchwork. I still have one month till deadline, but time is passing by at a terrible speed…
I wish I could stay in my studio all day. Every day! I have at least 100 ideas and art projects to care about, and I never feel I have sufficient time to really get down into the substance – to the core of the subject. It’s a bit frustrating to be honest.
How do you guys manage to create time during the day?

10 x 10
The postman knocked at my door very early this morning – I was still in my bed with the newspaper! But I rose as a rocket, almost stumbled over my feet, and flinged open the door just in time to receive a compact little parcel.
It was my miniature collages 10 x 10 cm (less than 4 x 4 inches!) that returned from Poland, together with a pretty exhibition catalogue and a fairly long list of names of galleries where the Biennial of Miniature Art has been exposed.
It’s almost two years ago I send them off so it was nice to see them. Like meeting old friends again!

Happy New Year
Yesterday I suddenly found a bunch of postcards once bought at a summer holiday to Konstnärsbyn i Rydöbruk in Sweden.
So here you are: An idyllic Lilliput winter landscape, perfect for writing my last last-minute Happy Holiday greetings.
