Two weeks before winter break
I set my intention to see the Aurora Borealis
and amazingly (of course!) everything fell into place!
We had an incredible visit to the
Enodah Wilderness Lodge in Yellowknife, Canada
http://www.enodah.com/
From Yellowknife,
after you put on the rented Artic clothing,
you drive in a bus about a half hour outside town
then you get in a crazy Hagglund,
a Swedish military vehicle,
and ride about 45 more minutes.
Despite frigid temperatures (around -23)
we went snowmobiling,
snowshoeing, dog sledding, and even ice fishing!
My ever-so-manly husband caught two!
Into the darkest of darkness on winter solstice
to see the light!
Unbelievably amazing!
I was in total awe!
Yes!!!
There was a quilt shop in Yellowknife called
The Quilted Raven.
That's a felted raven that lives by the register
next to some Aurora Borealis fabric.
Home has been chillier than normal with a bit of snow!
(Although, after Yellowknife a positive
23 feels quite balmy!)
This is my sewing view...
I've been doing a new years purge
of fabric and projects.
I sifted through a shelf of UFOs
and finished a few
and donated the rest.
Here's an odd one...
and a hint of my giant Vintage Spin from Kathy's class this summer!
Look what's going on the back...
I turned a stray place mat into a cute bag for me...
I found this pattern to be a bit addicting...
I think I'll use them as presents in the next workshop -
Tonye Belinda Phillips!

And finally finished
hand quilting this piece
started with Freddy years ago...
Wishing you much...
