And you know when a quilter is packing her bags, she always brings toooooo much......just in case. This is just the bags of three quilters (the fourth came the next day) and Irene had manage to take some of the bags further inside the cabin before I manage to get this photo.
And then............ready to sew..........for three days.........friday, saturday and sunday.
The cabin is small so we had to use every available space.Tracing applique pattern
Rotarycutting besides bread, coffee and the sink
Using the window as a lightbox to trace stitchery pattern
And the floor to see how the blocks goes together.
Out for fresh air in beautiful cold sunny weather. Minus 14 during the night and about zero in daytime.
Winter has arrived.
Bjørg, Britt and Irene for a long walk. And then back to sewing again. We had one big project this weekend. We was going to make quilts for children with long term diseases. My friend Hanne has made so many of these quilts and have inspired us so much.
So here is photos of the three quilt tops we made this weekend:
We hope we can make some children smile when they get them.We also had some time to work on other projects. I had brought some UFO's and it feels so good to have worked on something "old".
I sewed my adventcalendar together. Now ready to be basted and quilted.
I finished Lynett Anderssons needlecase.
And this is inside it.
I finished this little stitchery. It is from Bronwyn Hayes Polka Dot girls and I think it will be a part of the Polkadot and Ric Rac swap.
Bjørg made the two table toppers at the left. Britt made the autumn table topper to the left.
This has been a great weekend together with wonderful friends. A lot of laughter, chatting, deep conversations, red wine, a lot of good food and of course a lot of sewing.
Saying for today:

Oh, how much fun to be together in a cabin with good quilting friends.
I envy you. Your quilts are beautiful and I know the children will love them.

The quilts for the children are gorgeous, I'm sure whoever receives them will just love and adore them. Your advent hanging is wonderful, such a good feeling to work on ufo's.
Your advent calendar is just gorgeous!! I love the quilts you all made for the children too ... so bright and cheerful!! I'm sure the children who receive them will be very pleased :o).
