Snowflake Quilt

 

My friend Shelly made this super fun Snowflake quilt and the pattern by Modern Handcraft.    When she brought me this quilt I knew I had to wait for the first snowfall to get some pictures and also had to take one under our local Snowmobile Club sign.  You see Shelly is originally from NW Ontario and once I moved here discovered she was from Atikokan to be exact!  She has told me a few funny stories about growing up there and how the snowmobile club is called the Sno-Ho Club.  And even better she was crowned Sno-Ho Princess in 1979 and was sponsored by a business in Emo!  I tried my best to get a photo for proof but no luck!  

Shelly asked for vertical quilting on this one so that is what I did.   I used black So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.  The backing is a cozy Mammoth Flannel.
