Are you sure there are only 4 seasons of the year? In the Okanagan,a new season seems to roll around every few weeks with fresh
colours, tastes and activities. There’s ski season, pruning season, cher-ry season, soccer season, peach season, beach season, zucchini season,tomato season, wine season and so on. What’s your favorite season? All fourteen of the Fabricators worked on their latest touring show, a
calendar version of the Okanagan seasons. By creating a front cover andback page in addition to the 12 months, everyone got to participate. For the front cover, Joan Bielun chose the California quail, as those
birds are present throughout all of the year. For the back cover, DianeBeadman chose an abstract design featuring colours from every season.Between the covers, you find winter city lights sparkling over the
crystal lake, skiers leaping through the air, hand-painted reflections ona rippling lake, Apricot trees bursting into bloom, hillsides coveredwith bold balsam root blossoms, stately yucca plants in bloom, lushcherries hanging on the branch, children frolicking on the beaches,juicy bold tomatoes ready to eat, a peaceful Kelowna lakeside pathunder golden trees, swans returning to Vaseux Lake on their migration,and stately evergreens on the dusky hills.Each quilt is 15" x 40", and when the show is hung, the whole
Okanagan year is spread out in glorious colour.
