Farmer's Wife Blocks 5 & 6

These blocks have gone on a road trip to find some snow!


We have been having a mild winter here in Kamloops and up till yesterday, there wasn't any snow on the ground.  I had to travel a ways to find some snow.



This is the view at the Britton Creek Rest Stop near the summit of the Coquihalla Highway about an hour and a half drive south of Kamloops.
I had worn my slip on shoes, so I was concerned about how I was going to get close enough to a tree to get a picture.  Luckily for me, snowmobilers frequent the area and had made a path under the tree.  Next time I will try to be a little more prepared.


This picture was sent to me by one of the women that is following along.  Great job!

  4. Had a great time! Learned that it is more fun sometimes not to have to be totally exact or straight to end up with a perfect quilt!
    Thanks again
