Wonderful quilt week-end!

A couple weeks ago, two of my quilting friends came to visit! We have had this planned for a long time, but never succeeded, until now!

Rannveig came thursday afternoon and the talking and chatting started! Not much sewing done the first night, only discussing fabrics, patterns etc. She managed to decide which pattern she wanted to sew and which fabrics to use. She landed on this pattern ...

from this book from Buggy Barn...
The biggest job was to find out how the colour combinations for each block would be, without getting awful surprices! When we found out how, it was easy.
Here she is ironing...
Step three is done, only one more to go...
Anita arrived on friday afternoon. She didn't bring her sewing machine, but was busy stitching! And crocheting! But that is another story. More of that in a later post! I have had these fabrics in this box for a while...

... thinking of making this quilt... I think I must have liked this pattern very much, because I bought it twice... LOL! Have you ever done that???I didn't get much sewing done, only cutting! What a surprice! People who know me, know I am really slow at getting things done during classes and retreats... Wonder why...?
Rannveig went home with all the blocks finished, and got the whole quilt top sewed together next day! I think it turned out really beautiful. She used alomst all of the Lecien fabrics she and her friend have in their store Kreativ Quilt!
I finished my quilt top yesterday... And I am very pleased with how it turned out! It matches my coach perfectly...
Hmmm, look at this! I managed to sew down one of the labels I put on the rows to keep them in right position!!
Oh, I almost forgot to say that, yes, we did have a little time to eat and drink a little, but not much! It is so wonderful to spend time with good friends like this! Thank you both for your visit!

Take care until next time!
