A lot to tell....

My May Challenge are finish... Puh, I manage to do one this month too. Some ladies of us have been stitching this great BOM from Little quilt, started in May 2008. This is how mine turned out. I have used more of my old Debbie Mumm fabrics.I love the colours and the look of it. I have changed the months name to Norwegian.If you look close you can see they are almost the same.
I have been in Gøteborg on NQT, and just befor leaving I got this great little quilt in mail.It is from Miniature Booty Swap, hosted by Toni. The maker of this wonderful little sunny quilt are Marlene. Thank you Marlene. I love it. I have seen it before on her blog , thinking it was sooooo great and now it is mine. ;-) It took a long way before I got it, and I can not blame it--- It has been to Bermuda.May be it was to cold to get her earlier.... Lovely colours to put on my kitchen wall.
As I toød I have been in Gøteborg.. So I will show some photos from my trip. Three girls of us from Norway went to a class..... THE greates class I have ever been a part of... More photos later- but this is the view from our class rooom. Diffren from what I see here in Trysil..
We went to dinner with SOME more ladies... LOL This is the start of the line to get in side... 664 ladies had a great time eating a great meal ,talking,laughing and watching show and tell.You can see a lot more photos on Abyquilts blog .
There were a lot of Norwegian ladies in Gøteborg.. Here are my travelling companions. We all had a great time and spend a lot of money on items we realt need... LoL. I will show what I got with me next time. Soon I hope... I have so much to tell..
We had a great walk from where wee spend the nights and to the shops... It looks like summer..
But we had hardly time to look---- Hurrying to do all the fun things we want to do...
Nemo and Lisbeth are ready for the class.We were taken a class making quilt accessories... It seemed funny, but we got a lot more then we expected... It was a great class with the most prepare teatcher I have ever seen... So if any of you are offred a class with Mirjam Hakala cross your finger and hope to be able to take it. We had sutch a great time, and all the kits she had made for us... WOW. We got kits for 10 diffrent items. Everything we needed, even precut hexagons and pearls. I will enjoy to make all the items home by my self. I got 4 done... The first object was small mousees to put on or fingers...
Are they not cute... We had to let them stay at the window sill in our room.
I will show you more of the fun thing we did next time...
Untill then... Have a great time...

Treasures

I have got a lot of new and a little not quite new treasures.... Emma is one of the precious one. Here she are 6 weeks old on her new crab-quilt. It is fun to make a little quilt and hope it not will last for ever- so I can make some new one. I got at last two on my mind....


I have got the first pattern of The Gingham Girls BOM. The new one from Red Brolly... I cant stop making her great pattern. Or more correct - starting on project after pattern from her. It seems a little more difficult to finish them. But I'm working on Polka Dot Girls- only two more month to make..... Slow but steady progress.... I have not started on this yet- but I have to look if there where some DMC thread on my must get list.......
I got the first block on A Kittens Tale done, only missing the Yoyo's. It is a BOM from Lynette Andreson. A lovely quilt with lot of cat's and dog's.... I got my kits from Quiltegården.I have done a lot on block two, so I'm still working on this BOM. I love to collect BOM's...... In fact I don't dare
to count all my started BOM's. I wonder if I'm the only one who collect BOM's...
Speaking abouth treasures.... Lapphøna and I went to Vikingskipet to collector marked some week ago- we where looking for thimbles. These are my new treasures...Some just for fun,some because I liked them and some fore old and not so old memories....Finland because I didn't know I was collecting thimbles when I was there on NQT three years ago. Diana in memory of her - and Elvis for all his great songs.... and so on...
I have seeb these Scrap bags on other blogs- and as I love small fabrics I realy NEEDED some of them. So now all I have to do are to find out what to do with them.....They are filled with great Moda scrap....Some of the pattern I know and some are all new to me. Fun ;-)
Cyan and Jacob are keeping us quite busy with all theirs ideas... Here in a quiet moment, sometimes Jacob are chasing Cyan , and sometimes it is the other way round... They realy know how to keep us busy... Luckily no one has been hurt, only some flowers who suddenly need new flowerpot....

I have been a lazy blogger the last months..... And I won't promice you a new report for a week or so.. I'm going to Sweden and Gøteborg on NQT. Wonder if I will meet some from blogland... I you see a Norwegian lady with her hands deep in her pockets,trying to convincing her self NOT to buy somthing , it may be me...So please say Hello and help me keep my purse closed...
Just kidding- of course I'm going to shop, but hopefully only items I belive i need.

Untill next time - Have fun ;-)
