The Norwegian Quilt Associations annual meeting is over, and I look forward to a good night sleep in my own bed. I am exhausted!! It has been great fun, and I have met a lot of wonderful people. I made myself a promise, that I wouldn`t go overboard with my purchases! Did I make it?? Hm, not really..........

I was thrilled when I found Cottage Garden Thread at
Quiltegaarden. It is beautiful hand dyed thread from Australia.

I bought the pattern Garden Sampler to practice my needleturn applique.
Leka has promised to teach me, she is a wizard when it comes to needleturn ( and everything else come to think of it). Come on Leka, Tromsø next year??

More lovely fabrics and pattern. I am planning to make a baby quilt in the near future.

I just had to buy this pattern from Bunny Hill Designs. I loved the delicate purple and green fabrics.

Finally something that didn`t cost money. The Buggy Barn book and the book on the right I won. I bought the Crowning Glories at a book sale. It costed the huge amount of 20 kroner (less than 5 US dollars).
Have fun sewing!
