Hi. My name is Jette Norregaard Nielsen. I am danish but live i Sweden - Vänersborg. I have been quilting for more than 30 years. Since 2005 I have been "addicted" to paper-piecing, and I now work fulltime as an author and quilter. My first book about paper-piecing has just been published by C&T Publishing, so I am very happy. The book is called "Feathered Friends", and is only about paper-pieced birds. I am now working on a book about paper-pieced mother and child animals.
If you would like to see some of my works, then you can see them here: www.norregaard-nielsen.com
I am looking forward to be a member here. I love to see all your beautiful quilts. :)

Welcome jette! My dad is Danish--last name Borglum. There are two Borglum families--ours and Gutzen Borglum's family (he carved Mount Rushmore).

Paper piecing is a mystery to me. I'm awed at how precise one can be with it--the tiny angles and vivid colors--Wow!!

I look forward to seeing your projects and I'm going to look at your website as soon as chores as done.

Welcome!!

Hi Jette, and Welcome from SW Michigan!! :-)

Hi, welcome to our group! I have seen your book on the net, very impressive :D

Thank you. 4 years ago I didn´t knew, what paper piecing was. Now I´m totally addicted.

It is really a small world,
2 mill people imigrated from Scandinavia to USA in 1800.
It is one of my dreams to see Mount Rushmore, but......

Jette, Welcome. I have to know being from Sweden what brand machine do you own? Your work is beautiful. I have seen your book on C & T Publishing.

I´m The lucky one. Bernina sponsered me. with a Aurora 440 QE.
I love that one, not least becaurse it have a magnifying glas :D :D
I also have a virtuosa (Bernina) and I still have my 30 years old Bernina.
I have just got a gandchild (nr. 2), and jubiiii.. it was a girl, so now I am happy, that I saved my old one.
Some month ago I found a small Singer - I think it is called a Featherweight. It is very sweet and handy for classes. It´s also fantastic for paper-piecing, becaurse it only have streight seems. The seems are very precise.
My biggist wish is a longarm. But it is unpayable here.
I have to use a Flynn Multiframe. I will try to use watersoluble thred on the frame to get the layers precise, and then quilt on my QE. Perhaps that will work :D :D

I have a bernina as well and old 930 which I love, I bought it in 1983. My mom got hers in 1956 from a door to door salesman, my sister has it and it still works today. They are great machines. You cannot beat those little featherweight machines for piecing and great for classes. i would really like to have one.

Mine is also a 930. I bought it -84. I bought a Featherweight from Florida, on Ebay, but to get a transformer was so expensive, so it was cheaper to buy the one I found on the attic in my "sewing-mans" house. I payed 150 USD for it. It just love it. The one I got from Florida were more expensive, shipping and custom - that was no fun.

:lol:
I'm glad to see a nothern women!
Hi from Sibirien!!! :lol:
