I have posted several photos from Quilt Canada on my photo page – feel free to share!
This week I am featuring another wildlife quilt from Quilt Canada. The center image in this collage is a quilt with a Mountain Lion (Cougar) by Georgia Andrews, named “Vantage Point”. This quilt was quite striking because of the face-to-face image of the mountain lion, with detailed eyes and a great use of value contrast.
I’ve included some other Cougar and North Woods prints in the collage. This time of year in the Rocky Mountains we see lots of wildlife not only in the mountains, but also in our communities that adjoin open space. Yesterday there was a Bobcat jumping on roofs in the middle of the night in a neighborhood a few blocks away from us. My brother and his family drove through the Wyoming and Colorado Rockies on their way to visit us, and during their trip they saw Moose, Elk, Black Bears, a Grizzly Bear, Wolves and Bison. That was really exciting for their twin 10 year old boys!
The Tokyo Quilt Festival is welcoming Western quilters to submit quilts to their quilt exhibit, to be held in late January 2020. Take a look at our Facebook posting, read the submission requirements, and consider if you might have a quilt to submit to this prestigious show.
We have an immediate opening for a Customer Service full time position – do you know anyone in the Boulder County area who might like to join us?
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
Luana and Paul
