Shopping for fabrics

 Some lovely Bali-pops. Hard to choose so had to buy them all

 Sweet repro-fabrics from around 1930

 And some other ones

 And a lot of booring basics

And some bright Kaffe Fasetts.
The one on the top is much thicker than the other ones, guess it will be a bag some day.

Hekling

 I det siste har jeg heklet litt igjen.

 Har fått ferdig ett teppe til Amandaprosjektet.

Hadde ingene egentlig oppskrift på dette, men har heklet 6 staver,
så har jeg øket to masker, 6 staver og så har jeg felt bort to masker.
På dette teppet har jeg en lm mellom hver øking/felling.
På det rosa litt lenger ned her heklet jeg tre staver i samme maske på toppen av spissen,
og tre sammen til en i bunnen av hver spis..

Og så har det blitt noen ruter til på Drops-teppet mitt.
Heklet ett likedan ett i fjor sommer mens jeg var uten syrom,
og så ble det noen ruter til overs, og masse garn så nå er jeg i gang med ett til.
Forrige teppe hadde jeg 150 ruter på, nå er jeg oppe i 50 på dette,
får se hvor langt jeg gidder før jeg gir meg.

Oppskriften ligger her:

Quiltshops

 Quiltshop in Bellingham, with some inspiration on the walls.

From Something to Crow about, Eugene.

This shop had mostly repros from the 1930 and Civil War

From Undercover Quilts, Seattle

Vancouver - Canada

 You know you are in Canada when :

you see the first Esso-sign, and miles gets into km again

 When the houses suddenly changes style

 And the townhouses are getting bigger and bigger

 And you find an elephant in somebodys backyard

 The view of town from the yaht-club

 Lovely sunset

 The museum of Anthropology. Lots of old and BIG totem-poles inside.

Sorry we got there after is was closed for the day. Would love to come inside someday

 The building was so spectacular I had to take some photos.

Lynden

 On our way to Canada we stopped in Lynden, a small Dutch community

 They have lovely wallpaintings

 A windmill which is really a hotel

 Inside the street behind the hotel there in an indoor canal. It used to be lots of lovely shops and places to eat - I am sorry it is all closed down now.

Går du gjennom hotellet kommer du til en kanal. Her brukte det å være masse nydelige små butikker og spisesteder. Disse er dessverre stengt alle sammen nå, så det var litt spøkelseslandsby her.

The quiltshop was still in town - lucky me.
Men quiltebutikken var fortsatt i byen

And in the tourist office I found this quilted flag. Lovely

Farmers marked Bellingham

 Knit-taggingoutsides the knit shop

 A standup man in his lovely patchworked wool pants

 Another man "biking" a milkshake for his wife

 Boots-shop

 Me and Bente at Hermosa Beach

 Lovely mosaic at santa Monica Beach

Two stars doing the walk of fame

 Hollywood

 And we ad dinner here. sorry, we didn't meet Forrest Gump here, but had good food.

As you can see - we did some of the usual tourist things to do.

USA - Washington DC

 Vehicle for ice-fishing.

All kind of stuff to look at in Washington. It was too hot for us there,

so we had to spend a lot of time inside museums.
