Quilt Photos in the Snow

I made this quilted wall hanging for my brother last year.  It was a Project Quilting Challenge in 2012.



 It was January and the snow had a perfect crust on it. Perfect to lay a quilt on top of it.


I took a few photos from different angles.


The wind picked up and it caught the edge of the quilt.






It rolled across the snow.


It landed face down in the snow.


Cool -- the crusty snow made a great back drop for the quilt.




A few photos up close of the quilting and the stitched words.











And a couple photos of the back side of the quilt.




I know that I will take more photos of quilts in the snow.


It was the perfect day for the lighting as it was afternoon and it was shining right across the quilt.




I really have a lot of fun quilting and taking photos to share with you!

Hop over to Amy's Creative Side Blogger's Quilt Festival and see all the beautiful quilts.


Enjoy!

Thursday's Thoughts - I Want The Sunshine for You and Me....

Everybody creates in our own special way... 

I quilt and sew...

My brother, Mark writes and sings...

My brother, Marty in Texas runs...

What's your thing? 

When my daughter was four years old, she asked me "Mommy, what are you going to be when you grow up?"  Everybody said it to her, so why not ask me that too.  I answered, I want to do what I love.... I love to sew.... to create....I told her I went to college to be a Home Ec Teacher, because I love to sew and I love to share the gift of sewing. I am very blessed to have my own quilting business and be able to do what I love every day.

My husband, Ritch always said to the kids "find a job that you love and it won't be a job, it will be your life!"

I believe when you do what you love ... it is not work any more!

Recently Mark started actively writing and singing.  He had majored in Music when he was in college, but he has had other careers along the way including computer work.  He creates wonderful websites! He did mine. He still does that too.  How lucky he is to have two loves.... Well, I would have to say three, as his first love is his wife, Julie.  I believe Julie is his greatest inspiration. I am so glad she is in his life...and ours... I can't leave out his family too. He has three teenage boys.  Alex helped him name the song "Keep on Dreaming".

If you listen to his other songs, you can really feel his emotions in each of the songs.  I told him, I want to quilt at quilt to the music of his "Keep on Dreaming" song. It's on my list!
