NQF 20 Year

Last week-end I went to the Annual Quilt Meeting. The Norwegian Quilt assosiation was celebrating the 20 year anniversary.

There were a lot going on. Kaffe Fasset was there, talking about how he is working. He was also teaching a couple workshops.

There were various workshops to join, some drop-in workshops, and some you had to sign up for, when you signed up for the meeting.
There were exhibitions where you could enjoy beautiful work from all over our country. I am sorry I haven't any photos to show you! We are not allowed to show the photos in public, only for private use.
And there were shops, shops, shops! Can you believe, I didn't take one single photos from the shops! I think I must have been carrying my head under my arm! I wasn't thinking! LOL! But if you jump over to May Britt's blog, she has a lot of photos from the shops to share.
On saturday night whe had a special dinner, celebrating the 20 years. The food was delicious! They said there were nearly 500 ladies being served! Can you imagine how the noise-level sometimes increased! LOL! On sunday, I joined a 4 hour workshop. It was teached by a norwegian designer named André Wallenborg. He is designing and making purses. (Also for the Royal Family, I've heard!) One of his goals for this workshop, was that all of us should leave the workshop with a finished product! I can't say that that has happend to me before! But I got there, almost! It was a fun workshop, and he really is a good teacher!

This is my cute little purse, designed by him, and made by me!
This is some of the stuff I bought. I just couldn't manage to leave the shops untouched by me! LOL!

Look at these Valdani threads! Aren't they lovely? They are 3-stranded embroidery-floss. I'm not sure I can afford to use them! I might save these and buy me another box to use... Does this sound familiar??
Well, that's all for now! Thank you for stopping by!

Take care everyone!
