We had
our first bit of snow last night – less than an inch but it was just a teaser.
Everyone is bracing for a major snow storm and bitter cold temperatures this
weekend – especially on Saturday. The long range forecast is posting snow
almost every day for the next week too……grrrrr……hurry up spring!
Today I’m
posting a quilt I made for my granddaughter’s fiancée. He has retired from the military
and I wasn’t sure if he was going to qualify for a Quilt of Valour or not so I
started gathering up fabric for a personal QofV for him. Turned out he did
qualify and received his QofV but I decided to make him a quilt anyway. He
loves the great outdoors. He grew up in Northern Ontario
and spent a lot of time fishing and hunting with his father; grandfather and
brother. I knew just the right quilt to make for him…..a wildlife quilt!
Most of
these blocks were meant to be made into pillows; some are fabric from the bolt;
some are border prints; and they are all different sizes and separated with a 1”
black border....sorry about the camera glare. This is my own design so no pattern involved. He loved it. Whew!
That’s
all for a cold and snowy Friday. Take care over the weekend everyone….especially
if you are in the Snowbelt area. I’ll be back
on Monday with another card.
Cheers
Violet
