Winter - Florida Style

 It's winter. My representational snow flake "barn quilt" is on display. When I took a picture, the camera thought it was a QR code! Funny! 


As we are in central Florida we do experience some colder temperatures than when we lived near Ft Myers. But, on average there's only about a five degree difference.  Later this week we are forecast to have a low of 27 one night, and the rest of the week our lows will hover in the mid 30's. 

We have nothing to complain about. 


The weather was a tad bit different!

    1. I make the quilts with 30" sq canvases that I buy at Hobby Lobby. I put at least one layer of gesso on it. Then, I use tape to outline each color I want to paint. I use acrylic paints. When I have all colors finished I use spray clear acrylic to seal the canvas. Since mine are hung in an area that doesn't get too much weather, and since I change them out periodically so they aren't out for months on end, they seem to have stood up to the rigors.
