It is a big day :)

Today is a big day my friend and I have a birthdaay :) :) only an ocean and one year that are between us.

Also our countries among other Europian countries will compete tonight in the yearly Eurovision song contest which is held this year in Bærum outside of Oslo because last years number one song was from NORWAY the wonderful Alexander Rybak won with his Fairytale with a record of votes. So cross fingers for us tonight. Unfortunately my favorite song this year didn´t make it to the final :( it is a beautiful song performed by Anna Bergendahl from Sweden.

Also today we have election day here in Iceland for a new city council so there is a lot to do today.

Make Do Memories Miniature Quilt Challenge

Finally I have finished the Make Do Memories Miniature Quilt. I am a last minute person, I can never finish until the last minute. I had been planning and thinking a lot when I finally took the plunge and finished. What I wanted to show with the quilt was friendship amongst quilters all over the world. The hexagon flower in the center represents Lyn and the stitchery lines from there to the corners are how the flowers flew around the world landing in 7 different countries. I stitched the names of all the countries into the hexagons in the corners (all in Icelandic). In the corner where Iceland is stitched I also put the name of the quilt in Icelandic "Vináttugarður Lyn" which means "Lyn´s friendshipgarden" This was so much fun and I want to thank Lyn for giving me the opportunity to take part.
