Skylights Quilt
The second quilt Lori brought is called the 'Almost Quilt'. I used the Plush pantograph, black So Fine thread and her black poly Quilters Dream batting.
We've had an unusually warm end to summer and into fall but the trees are just starting to turn colour.

Hummingbirds
I have this glass feeder I put in the maple tree that they love and guard furiously.
I also purchased a window feeder and was surprised at how much they use it. Its fun to watch them at the window from inside the house.

Summer Heron Birdwatching Report
Summer has been flying by as usual here in NW Ontario. No sewing or quilting happening as I have been spending my days out in the garden or on the lakes kayaking. Also keeping busy with my favorite summer activity birdwatching and bird photography. I am enjoying the hummingbirds but we definitely have fewer birds this year. I also would go every Sunday from mid May to mid July to see the Herons in their rookery on the highway near our place. We watched all 15 nest activity transition from sitting on eggs to the hatching to the feeding then fledging. It is amazing how fast these large birds grow and each nest had on average 3 chicks.
Two chicks along starting to test their wings.
