Winter Solstice Quilt #2

Well September is here and I have my first client quilt to share since my summer break.  Stacey brought me this lovely Winter Solstice quilt which is a pattern by Holly Holderman. You can find the pattern to purchase at this link

Stacey requested Wool batting so I ordered a King size Quilters Dream Wool for her as her quilt top is 101" x116".   The thread is a light grey So Fine and the pantograph design is Fascination.




I had a fun encounter with a porcupine a few days ago and got some great pictures!  My husband saw it walking in the field beside our house when he got home from work so I grabbed my camera and followed it.  What a cutie!


He climbed a tree when he saw me approach, I had my zoom lens so didn't have to get too close.  When I shared these photos on Instagram I was surprised at how many people didn't realize that porcupines climb trees!  They are excellent climbers as tree bark is their main food source in the winter.
