In 2008 I went on a quilting cruise to Alaska and found many beautiful fabrics and kits in the ports-of-call along the way. This one is from a tiny quilt shop in Skagway. It is called Glacier for obvious reasons and the design is by Lisa Moore. I finally made it this spring. It is hard to tell from the photos, but there are about 400 heat set crystals to make it catch the light like a real glacier. Hope you like it.

WOW, so beautiful.

lovely.

Wow This is sure pretty and a great reminder of your trip!

What a great memory of your quilt cruise! You did a beautiful job with this. 400 crystals! I'm impressed.

That is fantastic-awesome!

It does look like a glacier. Great kit. I bet I was in the same little shop in Skagway.

Really beautiful. Nice to have something to remind you of your travels, isn't it? Thanks for showing.

That is beautiful!!! Love the pattern.

Beautiful quilt, lots of tedious putting on all of those crystals. But what a beautiful reminder of the trip.

Took my breathe away - it's beautiful.

I adore it! I have one started but lost interest or something side-tracked me. I like the idea of the crystals. I might have to go finish this one. Good job on yours.

WOW what a beauty

Lovely & a great memory of your trip.Will it be framed or?

No, it won't be framed. It is 50 x 70 and hanging over my bed. The binding is turned completely to be back and hand stitched so that it won't show on the front.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous.

Very different! Love it!

I'd never tire of looking at something so unique and pretty as that. It also brought to my mind the Northern Lights, even tho' sometimes the colors can be more vivid, I like when they are more pale.

Thanks for sharing. Very beautiful.
