Yes it was a panto - Whirly Gig LG. Flows very nice and easy the machine seems to track it well.
We went up skiing the 1st day of the season last year and had a great day. Returned for day 2 and it was getting icy around 11ish and we decided to make one more run.....LOL....famous last words......I hit ice and it brought me completely around and I went down and hit the back side hard, shattered my wrist and got to ride the toboggan down the hill to ski patrol then off to the emergency room. Oh joy!!! It is my right wrist and I am right handed so it has been a long process of healing and getting back on track. Doctor says the way it broke it will probably bother me the rest of my life so I have learned to endure the pain. I bought a snow shoe pass for this year...just a tad fearful of skiing and falling again. So I figured I could be up on the mountain with some friends while my husband and son are having fun up on the mountain.

Ouch! Your quilt is lovely. When I fell (repeatedly) during downhill skiing I turned to cross-country. I found that I enjoyed it far more. It's so quiet, you're away from the crowds, and you get to actually see the mountains and wildlife.
