Top secret

My head is sore, the eyes are bugged and the brain is dead. Three new quilts are in the works for submission. Sorry no quilts but here are three of the blocks.

 

Can hardly wait for the long days of summer. We've all had enough of the snow and freezing cold.

But, on the other hand, we would not be able to see the beginning of a sundog if it was warm.

 

Golden Stars

Yes, one quilt top done and ready for the quilter. Two more to go. For spring quilt market, the theme is all that glitters is golden or something like that. The bottom block was the test block to see if the fabrics played well together. They were very happy together.

Golden Winter Walk


Why does it sometimes take us forever to make a decision on what fabrics to use in a quilt? There is always that one fabric that you need and cannot find. This selection has been developing for a week. One week. Yes, one week. Way too long. The worst thing about this, I'm still not sure about them.



One thing I am sure of is that it's a 100 year snow in Calgary. There hasn't been this much snow since 1929.  What's really annoying is that there is more snow on the ski hill in Calgary than at Sunshine Mountain ski hill which is at the top of the Continental Divide (a line of the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains). This morning, there was not just frost on the pump handle there was another 2-3 inches/5-7 cm. of snow.

On one hand, all this snow makes me feel like the Canadian flag, all wrapped up and hanging in there for warmer weather.



 

On the other hand, winter is so peacefully beautiful! Without it, it would be so brown and boring.
