I had such a great weekend. Cathi came here to Sweden to spend a weekend at my house. I have met Cathi through the internet, so we had never seen eachother before, so that was quite exiting.
We went to pick her up from the airport late Fridaynight and the next morning hit the town. We went to some craftshops and woolshops. We also went to a chocolatestore that also serves tea and chocolate things. This is what Cathi brought home:
We also bought a Norwegian book home that is sold here and they also have all the fabrics and everything else you need. On this blog you can read more about the book. It is in German, but there are pictures.
When we came home after dragging all of the loot home we started quilting. Cathi hadn't quilted before so I taught her. I have learned how to quilt from a Amish lady that lives in Germany now. Please visit her website.
On Sunday we went to a bootcar-sale and we found some nice stuff. When we came home we did some more quilting. In the afternoon we basted the Dear Jane that Cathi had finished. We basted it with woolbatting that felt absolutely wonderful. Here is a pic of Cathi pressing it before basting it and later a picture when we were finished:
I am also working on a Dear Jane, so to see her beautifull quilt and help her baste it was really special. It really got me thinking about my Dear Jane again...
On Sunday evening I had my friends Weronica and Helena come over and we had dinner together and later a scrap exchange..this is the scraps Cathi brought home with here:
On the last day, Monday we had quite a lot to do. We went to the LQS and bought some things. I didn't take a picture but I am sure Cathi did. I also made her this bag this weekend so that she could take her Dear Jane home as carry-on on the plane..you don't want that to get lost!
I had a great time, and hope she comes to visit soon again...!
