Home at Last

We just got back from BC after a couple of marathon driving days.
What is a trip without a bit of qult shopping? I got the fabric in Grand Forks, BC. The yellow will work on my One Block Wonder quilt. I have been looking for a good backing for it and this piece was on sale. The stripe struck me as perfect for a border for a wild and wonky quilt. We'll see...
The books look very interesting. I have Gloria Loughman's other book about landscape quilting. This one is a bit more abstract. The other one is all about different embellishments. They are both fun reading with inspiring illustrations even if I never make a quilt using their methods.
Meanwhile, before that I have a lot of unpacking and a huge pile of laundry to do. Before I start that I need a really good sleep in my own bed.

Art Show in Kelowna

This is part of the art show that we went to Kelowna to help set up. It looked quite nice once it was all hung and arranged.

It was a nice surprise when my nephew, Ron, walked in the door. We knew he lived in the area but hadn't known he was coming to the show.
Now we are on our way home.

Rocky Mountain High Up

Ham, cheese and fig sandwich at The Quarry in Canmore, Alberta.



We drove as far as Revelstoke yesterday. The mountains are beautiful but much more tense driving for me.

Travels

We are on our way to Kelowna, BC, for an art show. Yesterday we traveled across part of Manitoba an all of Saskatchewan and spent the night in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Saskatchewan was straight and flat with ginormous skies. Some people might call that boring but I think it is subtly beautiful and relaxing to drive through. Today we tackle the Rocky Mountains. Could there be a greater contrast???
