The monthly meeting

Meeting up with friends in my quilting guild, Ringerike Quilteklubb, is one of the monthly highlights. Although I that day travelled from one part of the country to the other (Norway is a looong country), and attended at a Halloween party, I just had to attend our meeting as well. Boy was I tired that evening!!



Anne Quilten visited us with lots of goodies, and I could not leave without a few of them (who could?). I will show you my purchases later.




One of the ladies showed us these spoooky Halloween quilts. Awesome!!!



No, this is not me finishing my christmas quilt. Oona made this gorgeous quilt, she is a stitchery wizard!





She also made this beautiful quilt, with peacocks and butterflies.



Check out the wine house! It takes 5 litres of wine, so there is no immediate danger of running out of liquid he he.


Have fun sewing!

Comforting quilts

This Saturday several of the women in my quilting guild got together making quilts for sick children in hospitals. Our guild has made many quilts this year, and the passion is still going strong.











There should be somthing here for everyone. I dare say our guild makes lovely quilts! :)




Fabrics and batting are donated by local shops, national distributors and companies, and by the quild members themselves.

PS. I am trembling with exitement! My postman delivered a notice that a parcel is waiting for me at the postoffice - it is from my stitching angel in Hungary. Iiiihhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!! I will be back as soon as I have ripped the paper off LOL


Have fun sewing!

Preparing for the annual christmas fair

Every year a group of women in my community put together an amazing christmas fair, a big raffle where one can win wonderful handmade products. The theme is of course christmas, but we also makes products that can be used all year around. We receive things bought in shops from people as well, and have separate raffles for the kids.






The production goes on all year, and we meet up every month in the fall. It is always nice to work together.




The money we make on this annual event is put in to the community again through many different projects, such as pedicure and trips for the elders, an annual school lunch for the children, donations and so on. A great event that brings the community together.

Have fun sewing!
