Snowy January...

the month has been cold and snowy...... as you can see by this photo.  We have warmed up this week... and it has been great - I even had the window open yesterday for awhile..... well, it is Winter.....

I completed a banner for my quilt guild - it is the 100th anniversay of Athabasca and our guild did several banners like this one celebrating different milestones in the area.  I chose to do a landscape of the river valley.

Northcott fabrics has a new line of fabric out called Dragonfly Daze... it is really lovely and Patchworks Studios has a new pattern called Dragonflies by Moonlight.... well, I had to make this one... it really is pretty....

Thought for the Day

Obstacles are those frightful things you see
when you take your eyes off your goal.  Henry Ford

The cold just won't go away.....

my little girl is soooo tired of the snow... lol.  We have had tons and tons and tons of snow..... it just keeps coming and coming and coming..... but that has made for lots of time for quilting....

This quilt is called Day and Night and is an Eleanor Burns pattern.  I am not a big fan of strip pieced quilts... but I just loved this one.  You get instructions to make two extra projects from the left over strip pieces...

This quilt is made from Stonehenge fabrics by Northcott and is called Pisa..... the center of the quilt is really a panel... so this stitches up really quick.

and..... one more quick little quilt.....made with some Thimbleberries fabrics...... I think the centre of this will be fabulous to quilt a motif design in.
