Sunset from my deck |
My Ontario teaching tour continued with an event on
Manitoulin Island. It's a HUGE island in Lake Huron. In fact it is the largest island in a freshwater lake in the world. And it's beautiful.
My hosts for my time on the Island were Marlene and Simon who have a lovely spot right on one of the largest lakes on the island. My 'home' was their boathouse - a completely self-contained suite right on the lake. And I mean 'RIGHT ON' - when I walked out the door to the narrow deck I was right above the water. It was beautiful.
We had snow on the morning of my workshop but that didn't deter the students. We started a bit late but soon everyone was creating wonderful Give & Take Applique designs.

Creating wonderful work! |
And here are the results of all their hard work. Innovative and creative designs all!
Marlene took me to see some of the sights of the Island including these falls - along a popular hiking area. The rushing water and the ice were spectacular.
