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
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Your trip sounds fabulous! And that's an impressive amount of hand sewing you got done :o)
