3 more sleeps!!!!

until Leanne and I fly out on our big adventure to here. To say we are excited is an understatement!!! We will get to meet lots of lovely ladies from Norway and Sweden and I think also England and The Netherlands!! We can't wait……!!!

While I am away from my family for almost 3 weeks (how much mischief can they get up to?) I will be busy teaching 6 new patterns, doing a little sight seeing, maybe a little bit of shopping and getting to know Siw and her family.  oh and taking lots of photos!!!

I also will be taking my sketchbook with me for any inspiration that may come my way. In such a beautiful country as Norway I am sure there will be lots of things to inspire me.

These fabrics will be waiting for me when I get home

Maid of honor

they are from the "maid of honor" range of fabrics by Bonnie Sullivan (Lloyd Curzon are the Australian distributors) and are just beautiful…. so I will be thinking about a new project!!

I also have 2 new patterns out this week

Bluebirds in spring

this one is "bluebirds in spring" and has a pincushion, sewing pouch, sewing bag and needlebook.

Love in a mist

this one is a large quilt and is called "love in a mist" with some needleturn applique.

Ask your local quilt shop or try Foothills Fabric and Threads or Under the Mulberry Tree online. They will be in stock this week.

I am off to pack!!

Cheers

Gail

PS Leanne….don't forget the chocolate!!!

  23. See you in the morning! And remember, “Kan jeg fa sjokolade?” (Can I have chocolate?) and, “Sko-butikk” (shoe shop) and “Klem” (hug) and ,”Velkommen” (welcome) and “quilt” (quilt!!! The same in any language!)LOL. Here’s to still being friends after 32 hours together in a confined airless space. Not to mention the remaining 16 days you have to spend with me! LOL.

  24. Gail, I bet you and Leanne will have a ball & both come home with fantastic new ideas for patterns inspired from your travels. Please take heaps of photos to share with us. I see Leanne teaching the 2 most important words you’ll need when traveling “Kan jeg fa sjokolade?” (Can I have chocolate?) and, “Sko-butikk” (shoe shop).
    You can never have to much chocolate or to many pairs of shoes. Have a great trip girls
