The Canadian Sampler

Hi All!!

The Canadian Sampler has started at Sew Sisters.....

I was so honoured to be asked, to join in with 19 other quilters, to design a block for this lovely sampler celebrating Canada's 150th birthday!!!

Each designer was asked to create a block inspired by Canada, and what a great collection of Canadiana came together. Inspired by Canada's weather with snowflakes and a toque; Canadian nature with maple leaves; Canadian people.....Inuksuk, grain elevator and EH!.......

All in red and white, what is more Canadian than that!!!

Here's the list of the clubs designers, that I will update the links on as the year progresses!
