This weekend Kristin (no blogger) and I went to Sweden. We were going to represent the norwegian quilt association as guests at the Swedish quilt association "Rikstäcket"20th anniversary and annual quilt meeting. And for the first time in many years we did not have to work at the meeting. Just enjoy being guests. And it was strange. Think I got a bit stressed while sitting in the sofa stitching and wondering what next thing I had to fix at the meeting.............and then I remembered.........I was guest...........and no work on me LOL I really enjoyed these days in Sweden.
There is a lot of quilt groups in Sweden and each group had made their own logo quilt.
And there was a lot of beatuful small logo quilts to look at.One of the exhibitions was "Sayings". It is a little bit difficult to translate every sayings to english, because a lot of them are "swedish" and the meaning is special to them. So just enjoy the photos of these small quilts and perhaps you can guess the meaning of them.
And then there was the next exhibition. All the quilts that was entered in the competition that was called "Not every things that glimmers is gold" Just enjoy the photos...
And below are the winners
Professional
New quilters
Skilled quilters
It was fun to see how the Swedish group arrange their meeting and we had some great days.I still have some more photos to show you.
And did I do some shopping???
Wait and see......

Beautiful quilts. I will be going to Sweden next month but grandchildren are on the agenda, not quilting. Sounds like you had a great trip.
That 3rd prize winner with the diamonds flying off to the side was lovely. I'd like to try a quilt like that one day.
(In my non-existent free time...!)
