In true TBS vogue, this sample’s identify comes from a spot right here in Manitoba that’s close to and pricey to me. Falcon Ridge is an “old-school” ski resort hidden within the woods of Whiteshell Provincial Park on the shores of Falcon Lake. It’s family-owned and operated and has the BEST retro vibes, making it one among my household’s favorite locations to hang around within the wintertime. Suppose alpine and Nordic snowboarding, tubing, snowboarding, skating, snowshoeing, stay music and good meals… what extra may you need?

I’ve all the time liked exploring the wilderness and I wished this sample to symbolize precisely that. It’s impressed by a few of my favorite outdoorsy manufacturers, with some TBS aptitude. The stripes or “ridges” (get it?) within the design are a illustration of the dawn and sundown. These colors create a radiating ombré impact, which is analogous to how the lake displays gentle on the backside of the ski hill (or mountain block within the quilt).

To me, the mountain blocks symbolize an amusing (and maybe admirable) attribute of being a Manitoban. Our province will not be recognized for its mountains… fairly the alternative, as a prairie province. However we’re recognized for being resourceful folks and making the perfect of what’s given to us. If we have to ski down a giant bunny hill and fake it’s a mountain, we are going to do exactly that! And have the perfect time doing it.

This sample consists of six sizes starting from Child all the best way as much as King:

Child – 34” x 36”
Small Throw – 51” x 72”
Giant Throw – 68” x 72”
Twin – 68” x 90”
