Keep on Dreaming Quilt - Project Quilting

I always use a white quilt or a sheet as the back drop for my photos. Today, I decided to throw it out in the snow!

I took several photos as the sun was just right.

The snow was just right too. It was pretty cold today and there was a nice crust of snow, so it wouldn't sink into the snow.

But then the wind caught it...

It rolled over and over until it was face down.

I stitched some words from the lyrics - Keep on Dreaming in the white squares.

So that's my Keep On Dreaming Quilt - Inspired by Project Quilting.

Hope you are having a great weekend!
