I have started work on a challenge project put forth by one of my small quilt group members. The challenge is to come up with your own version of this Christmas card in quilt form.
The quilts we come up with as individuals will be displayed in a group at our Block Party Quilters annual quilt show this November.
I wanted to do something different and all I could think about was making this little penguin into a version of Elvis. Here's my drawing:
This is my penguin "Elvis" fused in fabric. I plan to embellish him with sequins and will quilt the word "Blue Christmas" in the sky and "Thank you very much" below him in the snow.
I'll be sure to post the finished product so you can see how bedazzled he becomes.
For Easter, Joe and I took a sunny, but cool, bike ride along the John Wayne Trail heading up toward Snoqualmie Pass. It was a slight upward grade all the way out but a nice mild downhill cruise back. That's my kind of ride.
This is one of the bridges we rode over. Lovely.
Here is another picture from the trail. As you can see, it's well maintained with gravel and fairly even for riding and also nice for hiking. I hope we have a chance to go back soon and ride a little further next time.
Thanks for stopping by!
