Quiltgruppen Lappvärk

Yesterday evening I went to the second meeting of a new Swedish-speaking quilt group here in Vaasa. What a great group of women! I have to say 'hej' to them here, because one had discovered my blog and now everyone has the address!

Great Posti day today - The Calico Cat found some hedgehog fabric at a quilter's garage sale and was kind enough to send it to me!! She also included this book about using plaids after seeing my Bear Paws and knowing that I have another plaid and blue quilt in the works. Thanks so much, Amy!!

I was able to work a little more on my medallion this evening - all the geese are ready, but I need more hours in the day! Maybe tomorrow....

    Being a part of a quilting group is one of the best parts of quilting! Even if it's on-line. The hedgehog fabric is too cute.

    The hedghog fabric is so cute. Maybe you can do a cosmetic bag like the one I am soon going to post a tutorial on my blog.

    I'm beginning to think there is a fabric with just about anything on it! The hedgehogs are too cute...so what are the plans?!

    Joining a group (like your quilting group) is a great way to work on languages. When I lived in Germany I joined a cooking group.

    glad you enjoyed the quilting group.

    The fabric with hedgehogs is cute. I haven't seen anything like that here in Australia.

    Can't wait to see the next progress on your medallion quilt.

    I just had to laugh at the thought of a hedgehog saying hej... Maybe you should change your name to Hejhog?
