Pinsetur på hytta fra fredag til lørdag, ja ja det var det vi fikk tid til før mannen min måtte reise avsted til London. Men for et fantastisk døgn. Varmt deilig, stille, rolig hmmm temmelig nære "himmelen" spør du meg.
Vi fikk oss en flott tur i skauen , det var deilig. Blåbærblomster overalt og på toppen av fjellet fant vi noen få molteblomster.

Ja jeg vet at bildet er dårlig, men det er tatt med min manns mobiltelefon. Jeg synes alikevel det sier litt om stemninga der oppe på fjellet. Resten av dagen koste vi oss på terrassen før vi satte nesa hjemover. Jeg håper dere nyter pinsen alle sammen!

Just a short trip to our cottage from friday to saturday before my husband had to rush of to London. We had a fantastic time with lovely warm weather and very peacefully. Life was perfect!! My husband tok me walking on a high mountain were we could see the hole vally up and down. We saw lots of blueberry flowers and a few cloudberry flower .
I know the quality of this picture is bad, it is taken with my husbands mobile phone but I like it because it shows you the great weather and mood I was in.
Rest of the day we were sunbading on out veranda before we had to head home.
I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend with lots of great weather

Gøteborg 2009


Just a lovely sculpture we found on our first day at Gothenburg. I travelled with my friend Ingrid from my local quilt guild. She is a wonderful lady and we had some great days together in Gothenburg/ Sweden. Thank you Ingrid..
We are not allowed to share picture from the exhibition so I will encourage you to pop over to May Britts/ Abyquilt blogg, she has put out lots of pictures .
My life has been very busy lately and I have not have any time to visit you all, I will try to catch up soon.
Monday this week I was visiting Bergen and "Festspillende" and I went to a classic concert togehter with my Husband. Very nice and different from everything else I am used to do.
Today I will catch up with my quilting friends and we will sew, talk and laugh!!!

Ingrid and I found a great restaurant nearby our hotel and we had a very special dinner with lots of lovely redwin. ( No fastfood)



We found this beautiful bag at Quiltegården. Is it not adorable, Ingrid bought the pattern and she is planning to make it.

Gøteborg 21 til 24 mai, Nordisk quiltetreff .


Navnalappen min...


Jeg kommer til å ha denne veska med meg...

I dag skal jeg hjem og pakke kofferten til Nordisk quiltetreff i Gøteborg.
Gjett om jeg gleder meg.
Jeg reiser sammen Ingrid C fra quilteklubben+ 2 andre fra klubben. Jeg har aldri vært på noe så stort quilte arrangement så dette blir utrolig spennede. Jeg har ikke meldt meg på noen kurs for jeg vil bare gå rundt å se og lære.
Noen andre der ute som skal bortover?
Jeg hører gjerne fra deg...!

Tusen takk for alle koselige kommentarer angående kjøp av ny symaskin. Dere har virkelig hjulpet meg masse. Alt koker vel ned til at det er stort løft å kjøpe ny maskin og du er veldig avhengig av at du gjør et rett valg. Denne prosessen kommer jeg til å bruke lang tid!!

I am still without a network, sorry to all of you for me not visiting you!! I hope soon to back on track.
In Norway we have a holiday comming on Thursday and I am of to the Nordic Quilt fair in Gothenburg. I am so axcited!!!
I am going to join a quilt friend from my own quiltguild . I have never done anything like this before so who knows what happens..
Anyone else out there going??


Thank you all of you for for the help with choosing a new sewingmachine. I guess I am going take lots of time to think this over because a new machine kost a lot of money and I am in no hurry!!

Take care everybody and i am going to have some fun!!!

Bloggbreak, sorry. I am without a network...




I am so sorry but I cannot reach you and comment on your bloggs.
My network is out and I am unabel to blogg, terribel yes I know!!
I do not have much to tell either because I am in the middle of a new project using
Moda Layercake.
My project buying a new sewing maschine are for the time beeing put on hold. Pfaff Performance 2058 made to much noise and are way to complicated, at least that is what I felt. But I dicovered Bernina 440 QE with an embroidery unit. To be honest I realy have to save a lot of money to buy this wonderful maschine. But I am still dreaming ;-))
Please be pacient, I will be back as soon as I can...

Uff og uff min trådløse ruter har bestemt deg for å slutte å virke. Derfor har litt problemer med å besøke dere og legge igjen kommentarer, helt forferdelig!!
Jeg har egentlig ikke så mye å vise dere heller for jeg er midt i et nytt prosjekt hvor jeg bruker Moda Layercake.
Kjøp av symaskin har jeg foreløpig lagt på hylla. Pfaff 2058 innfridde dessverre ikke. Den bråkte for mye og var litt for komplisert bygd opp. ( hvertfall etter min smak) Jeg oppdaget istede et vidunder: Bernina 440QE med broderienhet, he he koster bare 27 000,- . Her må det spares, men foreløpig klarer jeg meg fint med min "gamle" Janome maskin QC4800.
Så dere får være tolmodige med meg, jeg kommer tilbake så snart jeg kan...

Are anyone of you driving this BABY!!?



I am thinking about treating myself with a new sewingmachine and wonder if any of you know anything about PFAFF performance 2058??
I am planning to put my "old" Jamone QC4800 at our cottage. I will be very happy to hear from you, because I am a bit lost. A second thought is to keep my QC4800 at home and buy a new Jemgold for my cottage, hmm lots of thinking is required...

Today has been a fabulous day and I have been exercising in a lovely forrest near to our house. I have seen a viper, I almost put my foot on it uhhhh. And at a small lake a mother duck was swimming with her 8-10 very small and new to this world ducklings. It was so special and I was thinking about Melanie/Jellybeanangel who always brings her camera with her. Sadly my camera was at home, but I had a very nice time watching them for a while. For 1,5 hour I only saw 2 ladies out there so I had the hole forrest to myself, lovely...
This last week I have finished 4 more blocks in my Mysteriquilt. The last one of 12 blocks has not arrived yet.

Er det noen av dere der ute som vet noe om PFAFF performance 2058. Jeg vurderer å flytte min Janome QC4800 på hytta og bytte den ut med denne Pfaff maskinen. Jeg vet nesten ingenting om denne maskinen så jeg hadde blitt veldig glad for tilbakemelding fra dere . Et alternativ er å beholde min QC4800 hjemme og kjøpe en Jemgold til å ha på hytta. Jeg tenker så det knaker..

Ellers har vi hatt en helt fantastisk dag her i dag. Jeg har benyttet anledningen til å ta meg en lang tur i skogen , det var så flott. På veien møtte jeg kun 2 damer i løpet av 1,5time. Da turen nesten var over holdt jeg på å tråkke på en hoggorm, som lå å sola seg på stien. Jeg fikk også se andemor på tur med sine 8-10 nyutklekte andunger .De var så nyderlige og jeg sto ganske lenge å fulgte dem. Jeg opplevde skogen nesten som magisk!!
Den siste uka har jeg fått 4 nye blokker ferdig i Mysteriquilten min. Nå mangler jeg bare en blokk og den kommer i mai.


Her ser dere også hagebordet mitt som jeg har oljet 5 ganger med Benarolje. Da jeg hadde tatt siste strøket kom en stakkars sommerfugl å satte seg fast i oljen. Sorry ikke mye jeg kunne gjøre.
