Snowflake Quilt


Robin made this lovely blue Snowflake quilt using a pattern by Modern Handcraft. She adapted the pattern to make the full snowflake and added borders to make it a bed sized quilt.


I quilted it with the Bora Bora pantograph to give the feel of wind blowing all the snowflakes in the prints. Used white So Fine thread and white Quilters Dream 80/20 batting.




Robin brought a beautiful blue Grunge backing.



So I have been playing with my new macro lens which has a good learning curve when it comes to taking pictures in manual mode. Here are a few images I have captured so far in my yard.

Ctenucha Moth



Damselfly


Bees in the Snapdragons. 



Bees in the Lupins



The unwelcomed forest tent Caterpillar but when you get up close the markings are beautiful.


Delphinium


Geranium
