She SEWS Sea Shells Down by the Sea Shore…

…I stitched two more rows of clamshells while hanging around down at the beach…Seemed only fitting somehow…

Five rows of clamshells stitched altogether…

At this rate, I will be at least 97 years old when this quilt is finished!!  What was I thinking….??

On the Hiking Front~

We went to Strathcona Provincial Park yesterday (cougar country) and it was stunning!!  Thought you would enjoy seeing a little bit of what our island has to offer a bit inland…

Did I mention that there have been several cougar sightings in the area? 

This is Buttle Lake…magnificent!!  (Is that a cougar way out there doing the back stoke?)

Our hike through the woods…(I think I hear some loud purring…??)

…to these falls!  So lush and green…and no big orange cats to speak of!IMG_7311_thumb[2]

Hope you are having a cougar free day too!  ENJOY! 

Today we are off to another Park…and maybe a quilt shop or two!~P

  3. The cure to getting more clam shells done might be more vacation time... :)

  4. Wow, what an area to hike in, love it. Could do without cougar sightings though, lol. I cannot imagine doing a clamshell, but you are doing a beautiful job on them.

  5. Hope there wasn't a cougar! That would scare me away from hiking for sure.:) Love your clamshell quilt. Looks like a perfect place to work on it!

  7. What a beautiful place to be sewing a beautiful quilt. Not too sure, but is that a cougar I can see hiding under the quilt though?
