In my last post, I said that I would be travelling to Inuvik<\/a> in the Northwest Territories to teach a 2-day workshop on my Circles techniques to the Inuvik Quilting Guild<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My husband, Robin, decided to accompany me, as he didn’t want to miss out on this adventure!\u00a0 We left Vancouver on Thursday, January 12th.\u00a0 We flew with Air North<\/a> (wonderful airline!), stopping in Whitehorse, Dawson City and Old Crow before arriving in Inuvik, which is just north of the arctic circle.\u00a0 As we traveled north, the hours of sunlight decreased.\u00a0 We arrived in Inuvik at 1:30 PM on Friday, just as the sun was rising!<\/p>\n

\"Arrived<\/a>

We arrived at Inuvik airport at 1:30 PM on Friday – just in time to see the sunrise!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

On Friday evening, I did a trunk show for the guild.\u00a0\u00a0 I had packed about 40 quilts (some quite small) into a garment bag, so I would have an interesting selection for the trunk show.\u00a0 I was thankful that Robin was with me to wrangle the bag through the airports.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On Saturday and Sunday, I taught my Circles Circles Circles workshop<\/a>.\u00a0 I teach participants how to design and create their own freezer paper patterns, and demonstrate a variety of techniques I use to create my circle quilts, including how to sew curves and circles with flat seams.\u00a0\u00a0 Below you can see some of the blocks designed and created by the enthusiastic participants in the workshop.<\/p>\n

While we were quilting, Robin was invited on several adventurous activities by friends and family of the quilters – he had the opportunity to release a weather balloon, and to drive the ice road to Tuktoyaktuk<\/a>.

During our stay, we were wined and dined – Inuvik style – including a delicious dinner at Alestine’s Restaurant, where the kitchen is in the bus, and dinner is served in a small cabin.\u00a0\u00a0 The food was fantastic!<\/p>\n

Yes, those are icicles on the bus, and yes, that’s Robin dressed in a t-shirt!<\/p>\n

On Monday morning, we wandered around the town before our plane left.\u00a0 We saw some of the amazing triptych landscape quilts<\/a> made by members of the guild last year, that are on display in various public buildings.\u00a0 Here are a few more photos taken Monday morning.<\/p>\n

Still dark at 10 AM in Inuvik on January 16. The temperature was -31 Celsius. I love that the lights are still on this tree!<\/p><\/div>\n

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Inuvik.\u00a0 Our only regret is we didn’t get to see northern lights<\/a> – maybe next time!<\/p>\n
