A busy week

The local team won the game. :) I didn't believe they would . but they manage to win 3-1
The team they was meeting are one of the top in Norway and ours team are on the third level.
The game are Norway championship.If they manage to win two more games, they will play the gold game...... But there are a big IF.....
It was hard to see the players... it was 3750 peoples who follow the game. And when it was almost nothing to stand on , you can imagine how mutch I could see of the game. But I heard it...
It took more or less two days before my ears was quite right.

It was all the noice from all the fanclub. This is where they are sitting....or standing. They have named themselves " ælg-berget" Ælg are the lockal name of elg in Trysil. You can see the head of one on the wall. It is a sort of moose. I don't know the real name in english.
It was realy lovely day on the game.....but it didn't last. Yesterday it was a terrible wether. It was raining and a hailstorm. As you can see on the awning. I want sun and warm wether!!!!

The only good thing about it are : I don't need to water my blooms. ;)

Yesterday I finich my third block of Angel's sewing basked. It is a Gail Pan Designs. And I got it fas a bom from Honeysuckle Cottage. I love bom. I can just make them and I got the fabrics and all I need.So I don't have to think about fabrics and colours. And I got a lot of leftovers. ;)
This are one of my old and beloved table-runners. It is a old pattern from Little quilts. I belive I only used old fabrics from Debbie Mumm. It is all made by hand. I love the pattern from LQ.They are so wonderfull.
I have been washing my fabrics. I need to have somthing to do. I have carpenters to change all the windows in the house. So I need to get away and do somthing while they are taking over the house.:) And making new toppers seem a great idea I think. I will show you what I manage to make this week next time...
This are a summer bloom,late summer bloom, cald "eldmørsje" in my local dialect. In english it will be "gloow in the dark".Because when the light hits it in the dark it seems like glowing. But when I see it ,it tells me that the summer are almost gone. Sad, because I don't feel there has been any summer at all.
This is the ditch beside my house. Just lovely but almost atumn flowers.... I need some sun.
I hope all of you has had a lovely summer and all of you who has winter .....dream abouth summer and endjoy all the fun in winter time.
But to tell you in the end.....It has been a lovely summer with lots of visitors and fun...BUT I miss some hot sunny days. :-)

Summer days

Some days ago my husband and I went to visit my friend and her family at the dairy.It was a lovely day, but cold when the sun was behind the clouds.The house was almost finish inside. It is just lovely. I can understand they love to stay there in the weekends.
There are not flowers on the roof yet, but the grass are turning green.
This summer has not been so great , when it come to sun and warm days. But look at the rainbow. It was just wow..... I took the photo with my mobil-phone.

Look what I got from my daughter wen she came to pick up Lara : Jelly Beans and fabric. what a lovely girl. ;)
On tuesday my husband and I went to Charlottenberg in Sweden.We went to a big shoppingsenter, but we didn't buy a lot. Just looking , it was lots of shops and peoples. I didn't realy know what to buy......
But I found a shop with hobby things.....and they had fabrics. So I bought some but I don't know hat I will make of it.I will make coasters from the blue circles. But I don't know how yet...
Yesterday I got mail. Homespun and two books that belongs to Nemo. But she ordred them to me. I could have them and look when she are in Usa. Lovey books. I found something I just have to do. Strange.....I just love Homespun and always find something I just have to do.... untill I forgot it..

Visitor in the zoo

Yesterday I got a visit from my friend Lisbeth.We had make greats plans for the day. We should do a lot of quilting.And we did....but we had to spoil the rats a lot to. In fact we feed them whith so mutch vegetables that I have to clean the hutch twice yesterday. It didn't smell good. :-)
I think he summer are so bad that I just have to finish a lots of ufoes. This are a little stitchery from Nothern quilts.
The sayings on it are " ingen dag uten kaffe" Meening : Not a day without coffe.I just had to do a little quilting and of course the binding. I'm not a great fan of making bindings , but I feel so good when they are finish.

This is Lara . The last of my summer guest. She are only staying for a short week. She belongs to my oldest daugther ,who are away for a few days.
I have been looking to all your great pincushions ,so I just had to take a picture of some of mine.The yellow and red flower like and the one with green underside I have got from Nemo.

The little in front are made in silver. It is my mother who have made it.

I have been making purses lately. So god to make something easy and fast. The two with hexagons are a idea I got from Gudrun . And the one with strawberry I bought as a kit from Jordbærstedet when NQF had the meeting at Hell this spring.
I have also been able to make this bag. It is a designer pattern from Nothern Quilts.I got the pattern and the fabrics in mail. They make designer pattern with kits four times in the year. You never know what you got. I like not to know what I needs. :-) At last I want to show you a visitor who don't belong in my zoo. It was not so happy when it saw Lara on the porch. I think the squirrel had ment to look in the birdhouse for some sunflower-seeds.
At last I just have to tell you....I god a sms from Nemo telling me that she has fund a quiltstore in LA. She had bought som fabrics. I cant wait to see. She has a great time . They are going to Las Vegas to day. Lucky girl.

PS.
I have sign up to a Stitchery Swap at Coffee Thime Quilt Studio. And I know what to do, I will make a smal wallhanging . It is a fried of me who have made the pattern. Great fun to see what I got in return.

I got mail.

Look what I got from Gudrun. I feel so lucky. I just love the pattern. It is from Iceland . Now I think I have to send her one from Norway. But she are clever to write in Danish , so I think the reading will be easy to her. I think I understood enough to make the lovely little bags. Great fun. And the fabrics....just lovely. I have to make something of them. My first mail from a blog friend.
This are what I meet when I got up early yesterday morning....After sometime I understand...it is the SUN. It have not been seeing for quite some time.It seems healthy and in good shape. Great for me ,I start my hollydays to day.
I want to show you a little flash of the store where I work. We have been tidy it up for the summer tourists. This is just a little corner of it.You can see the frabrics from japan on the top shelf. We have lots more fabrics...almost 1700 diffrent fabrics when I last count.
At last: this quilt is an old one. I just love making tumbling blocks.I have made them in several diffrent ways. I will show you later. Now I have to get out in the sun. :)
Have a lovely sunday. Endjoy it.

This is an old quilt. I made it in 2003 after collecting fabrics fore several years. I wanted all these special fabrics in bright collors. So I collected fore it where ever I went. At last I have so mutch fabrics that I think I could cover a rof. I have found out that I need loots of fabrics but not big pieces. After this quilt I love charm packs.
Yesterday I went to visit May Britt after work.We had a great time looking through all her pattern and books. We realy had a great evening making lots of planes what to make in the summer. I belive there is going to be a lot of stitchery this summer. Hopfully there will be just lazy summer days in the sun.
I didn't leave untill the last bus. It was so fun making all this planes. When I came back to Trysil it was in the middle of the night. It was after one o'clock. It was a odd night,it had been raining and feels like there was going to be thunder. I culdn't cet a clear photo of the local shopping senter because there was a little haze in the air. Still I think it looked great.
Well it was all fore to day. Later I hope I have some new bags to show you. Untill then take care and make lots of summer planes. :-)

To day I went to visit a friend of me and hers family at their log cabbin in the forrest.This are the view. The cabin are an old summer dairy. As you can see there are some more old cabin around the old property Jacob had to stay at home. This are a photo of him in the lamp.The quilt I name "Jacob's fanclub.The real name of the quilt are Chikken sup. I made it some years ago.

Well. Back to the trip. We drive deep in the forest.As you can see it is an old cosy road.The forest are big and old.
Here are the cabin ,to day the boys are making the roof. They are laying turf on it to make it as it use to look.When it has been growing fore some time the gras will be green and the flowers will bloom on it. Hopefully.The cabin are verry old. Build in 1857.The first use of it was as a summer dairy.I think they have cattle and a flock of sheep and maybe some goats.I allmost culd hear the sound of all the animals and hear the dairymaid caling....
If the photo are kind you can see the numbers saying 1857.It was the builder that cut it in the wood when the cabin was finish.
This is the house . Look what a wounderfull porch they have. And remember the view.I think it is great. My friend and I sat on it most of the day while the boys worked.We talked about nothing and everything.....just had it wounderfull.
She had coffe and waffle with cloudberry jam. I love it just as mutch as it seems.I wish every body of you might taste it.
This was my lovely day. Not so mutch quilting, but I'm going to make me a little purse this evening. Untill later : take care. :-)
