A Crazy Weekend
Hi!
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...!

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. Her DJ is so beautiful and so nice of you to teach her handquilting. And a wonderful bag for the DJ.
It looks like you had such a great time!!
It is wonderful to meet fellow quilters, even if you hadn't met them before. The power of the internet! Earlier this month, I met Paula this way. It sounds like both of you had a great time.
That is a very nice bag, and very nice of you to make it for her. The Jane quilt is beautiful. Are the blocks bigger than the original? They just look bigger to me, even though the quilt overall doesn't look that big.
What a lot of fun you must have had together! The DJ is beautiful and you were so thoughtful go make that bag for her.
Sounds like a blast! I love that bag. There are so many neat bags folks are making lately and showing on their blogs. I may have to join the fun!!
Sounds like an absolutely wonderful visit!! I love that bag!
What a special time for both of you--plus she got to meet the friends that you have spoken about on your blog. Cathi can get busy quilting on her Dear Jane, thanks to your help with basting and the quilting lesson too!
How wonderful for the two of you to meet in person! It sounds like you had a jam packed weekend!
How very special and wonderful that you were able to get together in person, get to be even better friends, and quilt together. Isn't the Internet a wonderful place when I comes to meeting quilters from all over the world? I know it has certainly enriched my life.
What a special time for both of you.
How lovely that you got to meet each other.
The DJ quilt is beautiful...I'm going to start one in the new year..
Looks like you 2 had a lovely weekend together.
Sounds like a great weekend - I love that bag you made.
