I Love Norway


We then headed over to Norway where I was greeted at the airport by Kathrine from Kathrines Quilt Stue

I had some big days ahead of me

4 classes and 2 trunk shows the entusiasm in Norway is unbelievable and it never seems like work ever.

The girls had all been working hard to get their quilts finished from when I was there last time and I was not disappointed. I have never seen so many of my designs all finished in one place before.

I am just going to load up the photos so you can see for yourselves.

It all started with a trunk show. I just lost count as to how many people came. I was so overwhelmed.

And that was not all of them.

Kathrine, as usual had made a beautiful display of everything including lots of fabric bundles. She just about moved her whole shop.

Last year when I was in Norway we finished with a photo wrapped in quilts so here we are again wrapped in different quilts.

Thankyou to everyone who made my trip so fabulous. Thankyou to Kathrine for being a great hostess and to all of her staff. Oh yes and to Helle who made sure I was always where I was meant to be each day.

I hope to see you all again soon
