Quiltshow in Kristiansand part 1

WARNING!
Be prepared for a HEAVY photopost!
This week-end, my quilting guild is having a quiltshow in Kristiansand.
We try to do this in october every second fall. Each guildmemeber can bring things to show that she has made over the past two years.
You will see big quilts, small quilts, wallhangings, clothing, bags, purses, pillows, tabletoppers, well, all kinds of both useful and not so useful things!
Enjoy the tour!
The quiltshow take place at Christiansholm Festning, which is an old fortress, finished back in 1672.

I've heard there's a little story behind the quilt below.
The lady who made this quilt, used many of her late husbands old shirts.
I think the quilt is so beautiful!











The quilt below, is made by the members.
Last fall we had to bring two blocks each for this quilt. It has been put together during our guild meetings, and are now the big price in the lottery! Hope I'm
the lucky winner!






Well, that's all for now!
There's more to come, so please stay tuned!
(If you are not too tired after this tour! LOL)
Take care!
May Kristin

Heia av en eller annen grunn har jeg slette alle mine bilder fra utstillinga på festningen. Jeg ser at du har tatt bilde av min quilt ( dobbelt sengeteppe som henger i vindu) Kan jeg være så snill å få lov til å kopiere dette bildet til min blogg?
