Thursday afternoon after work, my car was loaded with my sewingmachine, a lot of projects and my friend Irene. Then we drove up to the cabin where four other friends waited for us.
If I do not remember wrong this is the 12th year we are meeting like this. So it is a tradition for us to have this quilt trip to the cabin
One of the ladies finished this lovely hexagon table cloth this weekend. Looks lovely on the outdoor table.
Every corner of the cabin is used for quilting. A cutting post at the kitchen bench.
I had big plans making a little bag from this hen stitchery, but of course I had not brought the fabrics needed for this project. Even though I had a big bag full of fabric, the one I wanted was back home. Luckily I had brought a lot of other projects to work on.
Hand quilting needs a comfortable place to sit.
We had a lot of rain this weekend, but saturday was a sunny warm day. Sitting outside with handsewing in the sun was very nice. I did some applique on a table runner. It is an old WISP I found in my project drawer when organizing it some weeks ago. Too beautiful not to be finished.
Quilters on a row. Enjoying the sun.
All kind of projects this weekend. A lot of laughter and good conversations. Good food and a lot of card games. This has been a weekend filled with vitamin Q.
I did some stitching, a little bit hand applique on the table runner, finished four miniatureblocks for a mini sampler (forgot to take a photo of them), and I made these three make up purses.
It’s been a wonderful long weekend
Saying for today:
A true friend is one who thinks
you are a good egg
even if you are half-cracked

Hva annet kan en si en at dette må være den mest perfekte helgen som finnes! Gode venner, masse søm, god mat og godt å drikke. Jeg er sikker på at dere har fått sydd en hel masse fint, og kanskje får vi sett noe av dette etter hvert :o) Ha en fin uke!
Hei! Jeg har fulgt bloggen din lenge, men jeg tror ikke jeg har skrevet en eneste kommentar til deg før. Nesten flaut det, så mange ganger som jeg har vært her inne og blitt mektig imponert over alt det fine du lager! Takk for at du deler!
Ha en fin uke!
Hilsen Siv :o)
Looks like everyone had a wonderful and productive weekend. I love your table runner!
Again... I'm jealous!! LOL Everything is so pretty!
You are a very lucky woman, May Britt! I'm most envious - I'd love to be part of the group at the cabin! Can you please pass on the location or designer of the pattern for the bags you made? They are lovely and I'd like to make some up, myself.
Amo os trabalhos de vocês !! I love your work.
kisses.

I always enjoy reading your blog, especially when you post photos of your trips to the cabin. I am always amazed at the detailed projects that all of you work on during your weekend retreat. Thank you for inspiring us to carve out time for ourselves.

Hej... så härligt att se att livet kan gå vidare efter allt som hänt i Norge!! Lika underbart att se vad ni hittat på på er årliga tur till stugan!! och sen är jag så imponerad av allt som du gjort... Jag bockar!!! Underbart!!
I think you should rename the table-runner to Aby-runner after having tested it as a sun blanket.
Seems you all had a great weekend
It looks like a wonderful weekend.
Good friends, wonderful projects, sunshine... it's all one need to be happy.
A wonderful way to spend time together.
