To say I've been slow to start this winter would be an understatement. I made this wall hanging for a fund raiser for our local sled dog races. The fabrics reminded me of the Northern Lights so thought that might fit in with the sled dog theme somewhat.

how beautiful! I get a real sense of peacefulness from it.

Well it might have been the only project but what a STUNNER!! I love it, it looks like the mountain I look out at, its covered in snow at the moment :D

Really gorgeous--is this an original pattern? You did an awesome job!

Very pretty. I love outdoor scenes.

It's very beautiful. I wouldn't worry about making only one thing. Something of that beauty clearly took time. :)

I love it!!! It's beautiful! Is it a pattern and what is it called!

Echoes 01-12-2009 02:46 PM

The pattern is called Elusive Wanderer. I bought this last year at our local quilt shop hop... Can't remember the maker but can find out if anyone is interested.

Thank you for your kind words and warm welcome.

Your fabric is beautiful. Living in Labrador I have seen the northern lights many times and you are right the fabrics reflect them nicely. Great job.

Terrific wall hanging...THE FABRIC IS FABULOUS!!!

What a wonderful piece of art work that you have created!! It's just beautiful, I love it & the colors. Do you have sled dogs yourself? My cousin in Seattle has two sled dogs & loves them to pieces.

Not I don't. I live in snow country but I prefer inside activities during the winter. LOL Summer I garden so then I stockpile and get all the fresh air I need for the winters..

A small community south of me hosts the races each winter - if they have snow. My neighbor started hinting then flat out asked if I would do a fund raiser "quilted" item. I thought this might be the incentive I needed to get me moving.

Thank you for all your kind words.

Chele 01-13-2009 12:13 PM

Beautiful! I think that beauty would have taken me several winters! Make more!

Joan 01-13-2009 02:09 PM

Very striking quilt---maybe that's the only one you've made this winter but it's a winner in my book and I would be proud to hang it up in my house, too :lol:

A few years ago a friend made that same wall hanging for me, it's one of my favorites and yes it does look like the Northern Lights.

gcathie 01-13-2009 09:16 PM

JCL in FL 01-14-2009 09:51 AM

That is beautiful. I've never done anything like that and would like to try sometime. Is the pattern an original? You're right the material is perfect.
