I've been away this weekend and want to show you photos from this. But first, thank you all for all the nice comments in my giveawaypost. I so appriciate it all, and WOW.........286 comments right now. But I've noticed blogger has some sort of hickup because some comments are twice or tripple (but that gives you no more lottery tickets LOL) You still have until tomorrow evening 18:00 (my time) to be in the draw.
Another giveaway is this one over at Farmyard crafts. She's celebrating her 50th post blogiversary.
So what I've been up to this weekend.
My DD and I packed the car full of her stuff. She's moving to Trondheim to study photo for 2 years. And we combined it with a visit to Røros.
The town of Røros is one of the oldest towns of wooden buildings in Europe, and also one of the few mining towns in the world that has been found worthy of a place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The town centre boasts a rare collection of large and well-preserved wooden buildings, made all the more real and authentic by the fact that the people of today live and work in them.

We were hungry and found a cosy little restaurant in a backyard. And now I'll show you some photos from Røros, just enjoy this little trip.
Røros is a wonderful town, very special and I recomend you all to go there for a visit if you can.
There we visited NidarosdomenThis week Trondheim is celebrating something called The St Olav festival
and we visited the market. Here is Laila and my DD together . We spend all the day together in the city with Laila and her mother.
And of course.........................
a visit to Quiltegården. Siw has a wonderful quiltshop in Trondheim and I know I'll be back real soon.
Laila looking at something she JUST HAD TO HAVE
and of course me.........looking at something I HAD TO HAVE. Those two girls in front of the counter is from russia. It was fun hearing them talking about quilting in Russia.
And this is what I bought. Four fabrics to be included in the background for a new project. A Tilda fabric I'm going to make dolls of. And of course this cute bear pattern.
And two thimbles. One from Røros and one from Nidarosdomen.Tomorrow is the drawing for my giveaway.

Abyquilt this name pops up on so many blogs and I have visited your pages more than once. Your photos are always enlightening, Roro I had never heard of that place now I will have to look it up.
