Joanna Figueroa from Fig Tree brought like 10 tons of gorgeous quilts
for us to enjoy. Her show and tell was amazing.
She also held several classes during this weekend.
Here is my work-class-teacher Ann, the designer name AnnAKa.
The committee had arranged for about 15 different teachers to give
classes. Next to half me you see 2 of my Tuesday-group friends:
Gudrun and Berit. Spending 8 hours with Ann over two days
was great. Her table-runner on the left and my start on the right:-)
Shops from almost all over Norway were joined together in an
enormous hall. Love my few buys this year ... lol ....
Fabrics for a bag-to-be, machin-needles and rotary blade,
and "Civil War"fabrics for making a table-topper. I bought the
pattern some months back when Sue Daley visited Norway. Oddbjørg
and I will both make the bag and the runner one of these days :))
We visited all shops,Oddbjørg and I. Here we stopped at Anne Heidi`s shop
"LAPPEMOR". Anne Heidi has resently made the gorgeous quilt
" Scrappy Trip around the World" you can see on the wall.
Finally I must show you my contribution for the Norwegian Quilt Association
celebrating 25 years this year. In our logo colours:black,red,white and blue
our task were to make a quilt with any pattern you wanted. 26 gorgeous
and very different styled wall-quilts will be shown on the Festival of Quilts
in Birmingham,UK in August this year. It means you will see mine up
there on the wall there if you are visiting the Festival take the trip:-)
I have called mine "Pleasure of a Membership".
Better practise more with the freezing paper now. Struggling
abit really, but nice to try. Till next time Happy Sewing :))
