Alberta in the Summer

 Every morning before starting my day,

I join a friend outside for a walk

around our small Alberta community.

Our province has a lot of varied topography,

and I've seen two small quilts lately

 that illustrate this wonderfully.

The first one, you may have seen before 

as it hangs on the wall of my sewing room.



It is a small 26" x 7" depiction of Alberta 

done in 1" finished squares.

If you look closely you can see, 

starting at the bottom:

Green fields, 

golden fields (wheat),

yellow fields (canola),

green (forests) , blue  (lakes), 

green ( old timber) , grey, brown

and purple( mountains ), then big blue sky!

This was part of an estate clear out and 

I treasure a fellow quilter each time I look at it. 

These little mug rug "Albertas" (6 "x 12") are made 

with 1" strips and depict our ripening 

canola fields of late summer. 



They are very interesting and backed with 

Canadian trivia fabric. They are perfect host gifts 

that are traveling off to Europe with a friend. 

They are made by ER and BK. 

Enjoy this quickie tidbit 

on some beautiful quilting. 

Stay safe and sew on !
