Serenade Quilt Top

 cake1

Hope you are all enjoying a nice Mother’s Day.  I was able to finish piecing my Serenade quilt and have a few pictures to share.

You can see the ice is slowly melting and this morning Tim put the canoe in the lake and took me for a paddle while I took pictures!  Saw our neighbourhood muskrat and he was nice to cooperate and sit still for a picture.

  Next we watched the Jack fish ( Northern Pike) swimming around, this one is about 20 “ long.  I was able to put my new polarized filter to work as this allows me to take great pictures of the fish without getting glare off the surface of the water.

Then we watched the Osprey circling overhead.  I love watching them dive down to the water to catch fish but he didn’t do that this time.  We had geese, loons, and one eagle in the bay this morning too but they disappeared before we put the canoe in the water.

  4. Lovely top! I'll miss seeing the quilts on ice. I am sure you look forward to the ice melting so you can have some warmer weather.

  6. Love how the quilt top looks. Can't wait to see it quilted. I really enjoy all your pictures. Nice to see most of the ice is gone. We live in Ontario and had a "Hail Blizzard" today but it didn't stay.
