March Snow

 March came in like a lion, a windy and snowy storm last week. This week things are warming up and the snow is beginning to slowly melt. We removed a good portion of the snow off the back roof this past Saturday. Finally making progress on a quilt commission that I have been struggling with. This second quilt front above is complete and I will be renting time on a long arm quilting machine in two weeks time to quilt the three layers together. Feels good to be making headway with both projects. I have a couple of knitting projects on the needles that I am enjoying, a wee vest and a shawl. Hiking and skiing this Winter have been thoroughly entertaining.
I like this quilt pattern and would like to make my own version at some point.
Paula's work never ceases to amaze and inspire.
This photographer is amazing!
Enjoy the journey. ox

Snow


Although it was a very warm December, we now have snow and it will be well below freezing tonight and tomorrow. Snow has a way of making everything look so pretty and the way it muffles sound is beautiful.

Wishing each of you a wonderful New Year, full of love, health and inner peace. ox
Both of these projects were standouts for 2015.
I was able to complete my first hand knit shawl and my first hand knit colourwork piece.
