A grand weekend.

I have had a great weekend in Bergen although it rained most of the time (Bergen is well known for rain!).
I attended a couple of workshops - the first one was with Marti Michell and Double Wedding Ring.
I just love that pattern and she taught us how to use the template set she has designed. I was handsewing, so I didn't get much done .. but it's a start. I'm going to change one of the fabrics I have used - one of the lilac colours "disappears", but I got a brighter one to try instead.

The other workshop was English paper piecing. I was on the lookout for that rotating board and suddenly Sue Daley's book decided to come home with me, too. And a few other bits and pieces .......
Saturday I met up with friends and we went for a meal and then on to the cinema for "Mission Impossible 4" with Tom Cruise. It was entertaining and we enjoyed ourselves.


DS was pleased with his new quilt - it fit the bed perfectly!


So now I have some projects to work on (!!) I think I will do some more sewing.
Have a nice day!
