Back to Blogging

My posts have been a bit sparse the last 10 days or so, and probably a bit disjointed: this is because there were written in advance and scheduled for random days over the 10 days as I was away. Me being away also meant I haven't visited anyone else's blog for 10 days - I will be catching up :-)

Husband and I have been on a once-in-a-lifetime holiday in Norway. We flew to the very northeastern town, then took a Hurtigruten cruise for 6 days down the west coast to Bergen, (including seeing the Northern Lights) we then had a day trip called Norway in a Nutshell which involved a train, a coach, a ferry, a mountain train (Flåm) and then a train back to Bergen, then a train from Bergen to Oslo, then home again. An amazing trip, and photos will be posted, as we edit the best ones out of the 1500 odd that we took!

I did do some hand sewing on the trip:

scraps of fabric and card like this


Got tacked to each other like this

So they could be stitched together like this

With a plan that they would all get joined together like this

A *lot* of these hexies got made,

And even more of these triangles got made

And a whole stack of these diamonds got made
