Mt Redoubt

Mt Redoubt is an active volcano, that was recently threatening to blow. All was well until Sunday when it rared up again. It was such a pretty day that we went down to watch it steaming. There was a 15,000 foot plume of ash and steam released that day. Since then they have determined that the ash was just from what had blown in the past and that nothing new was being released accept steam. If only it would just blow about the time I need to go home. I would be stuck up here then, and that would be a good thing to me! Can you tell, I really don't want to go home? :-) As of yesterday it there was very little steam coming out of it again. Oh darn!

A little late, but I have managed to get some wonderful photos downloaded from my camera. It is cold but beautiful up here. With the clearing skies this week, we have seen some incredible scenery.

This spectacular view is out of Nikiski Alaska overlooking the inlet.

Happy St Patty's Day!

Here is the finished project from Kim's Big Quilting Adventure. A big thanks to Kim for the wonderful pattern she shared with us all.

I am enjoying my time in Alaska with my son. It's cold, that's for sure. Yesterday was 6 below when I got up. It did finally warm up to a big 17 by afternoon! :-)
Had a great clear weekend and saw some beautiful scenery. Hope to have some photos posted real soon.

Have a great St Patty's Day.

St Patty's Day Project

Here is a quick little project to celebrate St Patties Day. You can find the pattern at Quilterscache.com

This originates from the 1930's and is also known as a Good Luck Block, or Lucky Block. I decided that it needed a little 2009 update, so I "Googled" coloring book pages and came up with the little leprechaun in the center of the quilt. There is a "plethora" of free information at your finger tips with "Google". This is opening doors in more ways that I ever dreamed possible. Let your fingers "Google" this week and see what you come up with. It's a huge world out there!
