I had a WonderFil time last week at the WonderFil Threaducation Center in Calgary, AB, Canada. I flew in a day early because I have the worst luck with flights and wanted to be sure to arrive in time!
Since I arrived only 12 hours late (nearly a success!), Allison was a gracious hostess and drove me to Banff on my extra day in Canada!
I walked on water:
And I didn't fall through the ice. I may have slipped and slid, but I never fully fell down!
I learned how animals cross the roads:
An overpass for wildlife!
I learned a few things about Canadian food, too:
These eggs are "basted." Kind of a cross between sunny side up and poached. Never have I ever heard of this!
Cheetos in Canada aren't hard and crispy, they are puffy. I learned that! But I taught my Canadian students more than quilting when I showed them the proper way to eat orange-covered snacks without transferring the orange to the quilt:
I use a fork! Yes, I'm a class act.
I was privileged to meet a quilt hero of mine, Aie Rossman:
Someday, Aie, I will finish my Waterlilies quilt. No, really, I mean it!
While the winds were blowing trees down at my house, it was beautiful every day in Calgary. I was even blessed with a rainbow through a cloud on my way to work one morning:
How cool!
If you want to read more about my classes at the WonderFil Threaducation Center, check out Allison Spence's blog post. She is a fabulous quilter, hostess, and teacher. If you are near Calgary, try to stop in and take a class from her! Those further away should read about her quilting adventures on her blog and then plan a trip to Calgary!

Sigh.

Debby, Thanks. I sound so wonderful!
I live in Southern Alberta. Part of my view on clear days are those mountains. I can't be sure, but it looks like your rainbow might be a sun dog. Was there a similar rainbow on the other side of the sun?
