We had a terrific family get together for New Year's, with my sister and her family joining my crew in Jackson Hole. We were blessed with brilliant days, perfect for enjoying winter sports, taking in amazing views, and spotting wildlife.
Note Eva's Nordic style sweater, the one she knit over last year's Christmas break.
Apparently the cold was too much for most skiers -- we had the place and all the spectacular views to ourselves.
It was fun to watch the youngsters scampering and kicking up their heels.
I finished this quilt just in time to present to my sister for the home she recently moved into.
With its bright colors and happy prints it was great fun to work on. I custom quilted it on my long arm machine with a bold flower design that is appropriate for my sister's 1960s-era home.
On an absolutely freezing afternoon we drove up to Colter Bay to ski along the Hermitage Point trail.

Wildlife spotting was especially easy this year. With relatively sparse snow cover in the valley, part of the elk herd hung around open fields and neighborhoods instead of going into the National Elk Refuge as usual. On several consecutive mornings we awoke to find hundreds of elk surrounding the house.

Wishing everyone all the best in 2018, whether you are snuggling under a quilt at home or kicking up your heels somewhere around the globe!
