The days are getting noticeably longer at last so I feel like the worst of the winter is behind us. Of course, that’s not true – the worst blizzards and coldest weather almost always occur in February, but today, with the sun shining and the temperature hovering just below freezing, I can almost convince myself that spring is on its way.
I’ve been keeping busy – I finished my quilt as you go string quilt and after seeing a post on Facebook about upcycling old blue jeans, I made this…

This photo wouldn't load on my previous blog post so I'm adding it here. These little squirrels are nocturnal and have the most luxurious fur. They're very common in the forests in our area, but are not often seen. …

Boy, is it ever here. Nearing minus 20 (Celsius) at night and in spite of the sunny (short) days, we haven’t been above freezing for about three weeks. As a Canadian, I’m very typical – I obsess on the weather. The day after Christmas we had a snowfall of about 15 inches, but no more has fallen since.

Rebecca, are all of your little bears spoken for?
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog and commenting on it! I've wanted to do something like that for a long time. : ) It's so nice to get positive feed-back!
Your quilts are beautiful! Actually stunning! Where so you live, having so much snow? That is way too much for us, that is why we move,,,south. Happy quilting~ Joanna
Rebecca - absolutely. I didn't write it, so as far as I know, if the author is unknown, you may share. (That's what I did.)
Hi Rebecca,
I don't often read the main page for CT, but saw your comment from northern BC. I live in Kelowna and am part of the Canadian Quilters group on this site. Why don't you join us? We're a fun group of ladies who chat regularly.
Rebecca, I see we enjoy reading the same mystery books! Louise Penny and Elizabeth George are my favorite writers in that genre! Happy quilting!
