Phil Beaver's Travelogue Photo Diary

The Sugar Pine Company

Canmore, Alberta, Canada

March, 2006

I flew to Calgary, Alberta, shuttled west to Canmore and into the heart of the Canadian Rockies.  There I joined six other US quilt teachers and about 175 quilt students for a five day quilt seminar sponsored by Canmore's The Sugar Pine Company, with classes of two, three and five days.

The entire trip was one to remember.  Canmore is on the boundary of Banff National Park, and every inch of my seven days stay was surrounded by the most elegant, sculptured mountains ever.  My work week was overwhelmed by what seemed to be a winter holiday.

And the Canadian folks rolled out their best hospitality in and out of the classroom.  To remain was a temptation, but the pampering would end with the seminar, and I returned to the real world of life at home.

I had 44 students spread over the five days, and many left before we began photographing their work, but we did get some shots of superior work on the final afternoon.  Browse and make a plan to join us next year.

They invited me to return March, 2007, and I look forward to another wonderful week in the Canadian Rockies.
