Norge

I had great eight days in Norway in April. I think the best part of it was to meet two blogging friends May Kristin and Anne Ida. My BIL´s wife (who lives in Norway) was my driver and went with us to the quiltshops and to a pancake house where this picture is taken. She is not a quilter so she deserves a medal for her patience this day:

We began in Oslo at Kathrines Quilte Stue and this is what I bought there:

Then we went to Bærums Verk, it is a beautiful place with lots of little shops (I am glad that most of them were closed otherwise I would have spent to much money). There is the quilt shop Lappe Makeriet and of course I bought a little there:



This was not enough so another shop must be visited and off we went heading west of Oslo to Lille Stasjon in Lærum and there I found this:



Now my card was beginning to melt so no more shops and to end a FABULOUS day I got these gifts from my friends.

From Anne Ida this bookmark, look how precise it is (not paper pieced):




And from May Kristin blue fabrics as I am a "blue person" and a pattern that I got to choose myself from several she had with her:




Thank you Anne Ida and May Kristin for a WONDERFUL day.





Next I will show you what was waiting for me when I came home from Norway, all the way from Australia.
