While our summer weather remains fickle (more rain than shine this week) I seem to spend more time in my little studio than out in my garden (seeing it is summer I would prefer it to be the other way around...)
I am feeling quite thrifty, wanting to use up the fabrics in my stash before buying new ones (I seem to have been at it for the past few years). But it is becoming increasingly difficult as my stash really has reached an all time low.
Yet I am determined to make a quilt out of this pile of fabric. In my favourite nine-patch design. And yes, you are forgiven for thinking it looks a lot like many of my other quilts (like the one on the studio daybed...)
But it can not be helped... I tend to use the colours and fabrics I like (and only them), so a lot of my stuff ends up looking the same. On the bright side, it is easy to move things around in my house, as they seem to go everywhere and with everything else...
While I have been whiling away the hours in my studio, this little treasure has patiently been waiting for her turn. And now her time has come, as we are about to face the elements (rain and wind) and go for a long deserved walk.
But before we go... I seem to have failed to mention the Mias Landliv-Facebook page, that was set up in my absence (not by me, though). I am totally touched by the response and by the care so many of you have shown.

As always, I love those colours!
One of the things I like best about your blog is your consistent style. So fresh and pretty.
love your style!!!!!!!

Åh Mia, vad glad jag är att du är tillbaks:) Jag har verkligen saknat dina fina inlägg och vackra bilder dom senaste månaderna!
Och dina quiltar är lika underbara som förut. Jag gillar verkligen dina färgkombinationer.
Varför ändra ett "vinnande koncept"....? :)
Och vilken go hund!
Ha en fin helg Mia!

Hi Mia, My name is Fran and I am the one who set up the Mias Landliv tribute page on facebook. I have enjoyed your blog for so long and so missed it when you were gone, and thought that others would too, so set up the tribute page. I have enjoyed setting up the page and reading people's comments. I have a blog too, and have been meaning to blog more often. My blog is here: http://franiejaysgems.blogspot.com.au/ Cheers from Fran.
...wonderfull colours...very nice sweet dog!!!
Hugs Anja

Hello Mia, your nine-patch blocks are so lovely. You certainly have been missed and I am really happy to see your beautiful home, quilts and garden again. Wishing you a nice weekend.
Mia, your new quilt is lovely, just like all the others. What size do you cut the squares? Just wondering.
Another good thing about having your own style is that it is timeless.
I am overjoyed that you are back. I love you blog, your taste, your garden, and your projects. I guess to me blogging is just being able to put a journal to photos. The fact that others like or are intrested in the journal is just a little extra. I'm glad we get to be a little part of your world again.
I like it, especially the green! Mia, what is your process? Do you cut squares, or work with strips? It looks like squares in one of the pics. What size 2.5"?
Kjære Mia, så utrolig flott å lese bloggen din igjen!
Jeg har virkelig savnet å kunne gå inn å lese tidligere innlegg og nyte alle de vakre bildene.
Gleder meg til å følge deg igjen!
Klem, Anne Grethe
As always you make some beautiful quilt! Love the fresh summer style! Hope your weather Will become nicer so you can enjoy your garden
I am so glad you are back!!!
Herlig den krølletassen der du.
Kikk inn til meg, klem Laila

Nydelig som alt du lager, liker så godt de røde rutene sammen med pastellene :))
Ha en fortsatt fin lørdagskveld :))
Hi Alexandra and Jodie! Thank you for your interest in my nine-patch. I cut my squares 7 x 7 cm. I cut the fabric in strips first, and then into squares. I am using a lot of small left over bits and bobs, so I prefer to cut them to squares, and then join them together into a nine-patch.
Hi Mia, thank you for visiting my blog and your lovely comments. It's great having you back, every post is full of such gorgeous things! Ada :)

En stor glede å klikke på linken til din blogg (enda jeg egentlig hade gitt opp), og finne flere nye innlegg!!! Har savnet hageinnleggene dine så veldig - de er til stor inspirajson for meg, ser du :-)
I'm soooo glad you are back! I really love your blog and really missed it. Maybe because I live in the US but my relatives came from Scandinavia. Thank you for coming back and allowing us to share in your life. You are so talented!
