Hey look at me!

Bonnie Hunter
has featured my quilts made from her books and patterns on her blog today :0)
Wasn't that a nice thing to do?  I'm so proud of my quilts,  thanks so much Bonnie for
teaching me to be a scrappy quilter.

Happy Sewing,

 My two "Roll roll cotton boll" quilts ( another Bonnie Hunter pattern) came back from being quilted by Debby brown last week!

Last nights Barred Owl visit

The barred Owl  was chasing down a rodent when the rodent hid under our fence, the owl sat there waiting for the little tasty morsel to come out!  Look at those black eyes and sharp talons.

Peyto Lake in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada

Peyto Lake

This Lake was really this color, even on a rainy day it was just a beautiful site.  It is considered to be one of the 10 most beautiful lakes in the world.  It gets it turquoise color from the glaciers, we got there by driving on the "Icefields Parkway" on our way to the "Columbia Icefield" to walk on the "Athabasca Glacier" just a few more miles up the road.

Baby Barred Owl

He's watching me!
