Thanks Sue!

5. Award to 15 bloggers.
6. Inform each of those 15 by leaving a comment on their blog.

7 things about me:

1. I’m danish! born and raised in Denmark, came to the US when I was 18 1/2 and went to college, then met a guy and the rest is history.

2. My degree was computer animation- my dream was to work for disney etc.

3. while I was in college I met my husband- not at college, but thru a friend- and soon after that I got saved, so my view on life totally changed, it wasn’t all about the money and disney 🙂 plus I got sick and tired of drawing, I had loved drawing (colors) and was good at math…. see how that links to quilting?! we’ve been married 13 yrs now.

4. I’m an only child, my parents divorced when I was 16, one reason was that my dad was TOO close to me as a child/teenager, so…… haven’t seen him since I was 20. he actually showed up at our wedding in DK. I have forgiven my dad for what he’s done, I think that’s what brought me to the Lord and I got saved, but he is still a

sick man and I won’t let me kids near him. It wasn’t until last year that they found out that my mom’s husband is not my real dad.

5. I learned to quilt at a class at our church in 2004 while pregnant with my daughter where I made my first quilt ( I’ve shown pictures of this, it’s loved to pieces, literally!) I have made well over 100 quilts since then, most of them simple and small donation quilts.

6. I used to dance danish folk dance for 13 years while growing up in Denmark, let’s POLKA!

7. I love to play computer games (if I’m not quilting or blogging) my favorite games are adventure games or sim city type games, my all time favorite game is THE SIMS, I had all the expansion packs for #1, now just a few for #2, but it won’t play on my laptop, boo hoo 🙂 Oh, I love LOGIC problems too in a magazine- not on the computer, just had to throw that in there.

now for my choice of winners

7. Ann at kvinta quilts – a fellow DANE! we became friends thru the geese in a ring swap.

8. Leah at free motion quilting – I should have put her at the top too, I’ve followed her a long time, bought her two books, which I translate into long arm designs, VERY inspiring free motion quilting!

15 I luv my bugs – cute little crafty things, she made one of my owl pot holders I made a tutorial for and that’s how I started following her blog

PHEW! I think that’s it.
