This has been a year of upset in Canada, around the world, and even here in my sewing room. To paraphrase a well-known saying, "we can't change the wind but we can adjust our sails". Along with many others, I am deciding the way forward...reading labels and making choices based on country of origin. I can't do a lot but I can do a little, and all the littles add up to a BIG. To that end, I was thrilled to be invited to design a project for a CANADIAN monthly quilt subscription box. This new venture is the brainchild of Monika from @pennyspoolquilts
and I applaud her initiative and hard work to make this happen. Before you decide this means all maple syrup, moose, and maple leaves, it doesn't. It is a program that will showcase the work of Canadian quilt designers, showing off the individual style of each. (Clearly mine needs to be round yet pointy, right!? :)) The box contains fabric for the project along with other goodies sourced from Canadian suppliers. I look forward to sharing tidbits on Amherst, Cumberland County, and Nova Scotia in general so that you can enjoy a virtual visit to our area without leaving your sewing room. The deadline to sign up to receive the first box is Sunday, August 10 and you can do so by clicking my affiliate link:
I am really looking forward to this; my design is all ready for Box #2, and I will start sewing as soon as my chosen fabrics arrive!
