Nova Scotia Miniature Quilt Challenge

Here is my entry to the "Nova Scotia Miniature Quilt Challenge" which will exhibited at 2012 Quilt Canada in Halifax May 30 to June 2.  This challenge is open to residents of Nova Scotia.  The deadline for submission is April 23. 


 This is my attempt at making an original interpretation of an idea. The boat is meant to be a ghost of a long ago family favourite.  We would use this boat to go on family outings to secluded island beaches around the area of my home in Prospect, Nova Scotia. Good times!!

I used a few of my precious Kaffe Fassett fabrics and freemotioned quilted swirls which is my favourite quilting design.  I used Invisifil by Wonderfil for the swirls.  In the New York Beauty block sun I used Sulky Blendables.  I still have to make a hanging sleeve and label and then ready to put in the mail just in time to meet the deadline.

I am linking up to the Needle and Thread Network  Stop by and see what other Canadian bloggers are doing this week.    Why not join in yourself..would love to see what you are working on.

    I love all the curls in that! Beautiful angle. The red boat in the photo with all the grasses and clouds ... I think it's calling me. : ) Ooooh those colros are so rich.

    Thanks for sharing at TN&TN!
