The final table runner is this. I liked it very much.
Sometimes I blog about my big interests which are quilting, skiing both cross-country and down-hill and cykling.

Double Wedding Ring
It happened much on Friday. First I had to register. Next to find the classroom where my class was to be held. I was so lucky to participate Marti Michell’s class where she tought the Double Wedding Ring. We used templates she has designed herself. She was an inspiring teacher and tought us some trics to make the ring smooth together.
When the class was finished I had to visit the shop area. However, it was so crowded as it use to be but I found a few fabrics which I bought. Here they are:
In the evening it was time for the usual evening meal with a very nice performance by Marti Michell where she talked about her works and showed many of them live. She told us she doesn’t like to .do slide shows. Instead she brought a three suitcases with lovely quilts from the USA. I took many photographs and will show some of them here:

Placemats
Back to the cottage. When we were eating our supper after the ride I said I would like to make her some placemats to thank her for everything she had done for me during my convalescence.
During the last winter she and her husband had built their cottage bigger with a new kitchen, bedroom and a very nice bathroom. I started last week after having a real tidying in my sewing room mainly to get down to my desk and free my sewing machine. I used the pattern of AnnAKa “Byhanen” from our Norwegian magazine Quiltemagasinet. I really hope she will like them.

Done
Good morning everybody!
A lovely day in my hometown. When we woke up this morning it was – 18 C here so I took a photo with my mobile of the very nice view I have from my windows at 9 am.
Since I broke my ankle I have spent much time on the sofa after I came back from the hospital. The first two, three weeks I only more or less dozed on the sofa with my foot erected as you can see from this photo. The pain was absolutely terrible and I was very helpless. The strong painkillers were my friend then. Fortunately I have a husband who really was fantastic. I have never experienced him like that. He did everything. When I got better I decided to finish a quilt top I made at least 5 years ago. It was basted and I had actually done some hand quilting on it but it was placed beside my side of the sofa in our TV room but I very seldom was inspired to quilt on it. Now I was determined in finishing it while I was sitting still. Last night I sewed the last stitches. The only thing left now is the binding. I will start now. I have found the fabrics I want to use and my husband have to help me to arranging everything so I can finish it. Here it is:
I can see the colours don’t show right on the photo. They are blue, lime and yellow.
