Elissa and Kenny are my kind of people. They love their dogs and cats so much! While their cats Einstein and Merlin couldn’t join us up in northern Wisconsin for Elissa and Kenny’s intimate wedding ceremony last year, they were with us in spirit as honorary best cats. Lucy and Bessie however were ha
“A sunset is the sun’s fiery kiss to the night.” ― Crystal Woods Sunset at Loon Island, Big Lake north of Ely, Minnesota on the Echo Trail. This place is typical of many other lakes and islands in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and the Superior National Forest. The scenery is breathtaking, and the island is a mini natural wonderland of rocks, trees, flora and small fauna. To me, the place is heaven on earth!

This is Ellen’s Northwoods Memories quilt and the pattern is by Beth Ritter. You can find the pattern at Beth’s Etsy shop. Ellen beautifully hand embroidered each block using green floss on a batik background. She used a very light stabilizer on the back of each block keeping them nice and flat, great idea! She pieced a lovely variety of batiks in greens and browns for the sashing and borders. I cross hatched the embroidery blocks and stitched in the ditch in the rectangles using MicroQuilter 100wt beige thread. Then I switched to green So Fine thread for the loops in the sashing and leaves in the outer border. Batting is Quilters Dream Blend. The embroidery blocks on this quilt are so beautifully designs so here are more close up pictures. We went kayaking on Lake Despair last weekend which is only a 30 minute drive from our house. It was pretty windy so we stuck to the east side on the downwind side of the islands. Saw two otters, a fox, and four turtles sunning themselves on a rock. Only one turtle left when I got close enough for a picture!

The Northwoods League currently uses this travesty of a logo: It seems like it would be obvious to throw that pine tree into the negative space of the N, but alas we have what we have. I've done just that, but I'm stuck with where to take it. The league isn't established enough to not include bas...
