Uncovering the Wonders of Nature in Cow Bay Nova Scotia. The Fragility of Small Things. August 17, 2017 by flandrumhill. How do small things make you feel? Do you sense their vulnerability and seek to protect them? Or does their smallness seem irritating and invasive, as they tug you out of your comfort zone? Salamander seeking a dark place to hide. Maritime garter snake crossing a road. Sometimes they manage fine without our intervention. Shrew found dead on gravel road.

This is an attempt to collect and post photos of any quilt which I have made over the last 30 years. just so I can have the joy of seeing them all come together! I owned a quilt shop for 11 years and made LOTS of quilts. some sold, some given to friends and family some donated to charity raffles, silent auctions etc. Monday, February 27, 2017.

Tomorrow is April 1st, and the beginning of a brand new month. The first of April, some do say. But why the people call it so. Nor I, nor they themselves do know. But on this day are people sent.

I am a passionate purple quilter. I am passionate about purple, and passionate about quilting. Saturday, July 11, 2015. My Viking sewing machine was in for servicing. After we picked up my Viking from the shop I brought it home and set it up right away. I sewed down the binding with the Viking and it worked out great. I did use a bigger needle size on the Viking than I had on the Featherweight. I wonder if that helped the skipping problem? Links to this post.
