Lady of the Lake. The very name of the quilt block tells the story. Since I spend my summers at the lake, I guess that’s who I am too – a lady of the lake. This quilt depicts those endearing images of cottage life – loons, campfires, canoes – as well as some wildlife I would prefer to only view from a distance!

There’s something so special about the lake. It seems to be one of the few places where I can slow down, feel at peace, and just be still.
