The table runner and 8 placemats are finished.  The deck makes a good backdrop for them.  It looks like it should be for valentines day but really they are nice small red and white flowers.  I guess it could be a duel purpose set.

I finished the binding on the Bear River quilt.  I think it turned out pretty nice.  It is 73 x 85 just a nice size for a double bed quilt.  The colours of the borders don't show up very good in the picture.  The brown is not a solid brown but almost a batik or shaded colour of brown. It took me over a year to get it together, and I am glad I finally got around to it.

Newly shingled roof


I haven't been able to do much quilting lately as we have been re-shingling the roof on our cabin (our getaway).  My son and his best friend came to help out.  It took a lot longer than they expected as they had to do a repair job on the front and back as the boards under the shingles were rotten.  It was a big job and they worked tirelessly on it.  When they finished that, they shingled the new shed that we are building.  We were so grateful for their help.  I was the chief cook and tried to feed them well as they were using a lot of energy those past 4 days.
