Maple Leaf

Maple Leaf Shimmers were stitched out this morning. This design is an older one but I haven't stitched it out in red in quite awhile. Since this is Canada's 150th Birthday, I thought it fitting to do it again.

Sticking with my Canadian theme, check out the Canadian Quilters' Association Pinterest page. Lots of interesting boards to explore. Don't forget the Instagram page and Blog.

• The Canadian Flag on Pinterest (quilts, wall hangings, pillows . . .) 
• Quilting in Canada  
• Upper Canada Quiltworks  
• Canadian Mystery Quilt   
• List of On-Line Canadian Fabric, Pattern & Notion Shops  
• Victorian Quilt Designs  

This list is just the tip if the iceberg.

There are lots of interesting Canadian sites to visit. I did a very quick search.

Enjoy!
             

Happy Canada Day

Happy Canada Day!

I would like to extend a Happy Canada Day to all my relatives and friends living outside this wonderful country of ours and to those of us who live here!

Enjoy your day wherever you are.

 

Yesterday, I gave a flag to my granddaughter, who just moved to Canada from Chicago. 

She was very excited and said she was soooo glad to be in Canada! We are soooo glad to have her and her parents here too.

Shimmers

I've already posted about my new Viking Ship shimmer ornament. The Canadian Flag is the newest one. Here it is with the Viking Ship. This time, the ship has white sails, which I think I prefer.
