Snow Making Pond, 51″ x 46″, Vermont, 2023

This quilt was completed the night before the Bondville Fair where it was first shown. Since I moved back here to Southern Vermont, I have been enjoying a local walking and hiking spot called the Snow Making Pond. It is the reservoir of water which is piped up to Stratton Mountain to make snow up there in the winter as needed for skiing.

It is a gorgeous spot to have a flat walk, and for my dog Edgar to enjoy. It’s about .7 miles around and is absolutely gorgeous all year round, as you can see. Now I’ve decided to do a smaller quilt (below left), not in my landscape method but as a ‘hexified panel’ after I attended a presentation by Liza Granberg-Jerome who coined the phrase. She bases her work on Maxine Rosenthal’s One Block Wonder Panel Quilts technique. May of her quilts are in that book, including the one on the cover.
