Progress of an UFO and soon a boat tip into the fjords .....


 This is block no 6 of a Tisket a Tasket :-)

I have now finished 8 of the 12 blocks. I started on this in November-10,so by
October-11 may be all blocks are be done. I have not made up my mind about the
sashing and border yet. I have had a Charm Pack of the Aviary range for some years,
glad I could use it. I am using Beach House range as well. So it is a wee bit like The
 Bunny Hill Design quilt. I really like the small blocks of 6 1/2" .Yes, I did reduce
the seize of this one as well.



Soon  DH and I are taking a little trip called "Norway in a Nutshell".
I have wanted to take this trip for a good many years!

We are flying over to Bergen,then boarding a small ship "Westship".
The boat will take us into one of the deep fjords,where the scenery is
supposed to be wild and spectacular. Part of the tour we`ll also take
a special train "Flombanen". The train is on one of the steepest tracks
in the world, (scares me just  thinking about it).
But oh....how I am looking forward to this.

Bringing some stitchery just in case,however no promises on this!!
But I am bringing my camera,so I hope to take some pics to show
you later. We have had a hailstorm/snow here in Oslo today,really
glad I follow my late Mums advice, no summer plants outside till after
17th of May :-)
To all Norwegians: Happy National Day on May 17 2011.
All the best to all ,Hugs from
