Scraps and Strings: Quilting in Nova Scotia

Friday 27 July 2018

Here's some quilty pix from my recent trip to Nova Scotia:

This looks like a quilt, but its a graphic printed on vinyl at

Pier 21, the Canadian Immigration Museum in Halifax.

And I met up with Valerie, a fellow member of the Secret Society of Barn Builders,

near Peggy's Cover, NS.

I took my barn quilt to show her, so we posed for a group picture.

I had seen her quilt in person at the AQS show in Des Moines, Iowa in 2016,

and it was nice to meet her.

Len (at right) loves the vintage VW vans -- in red,

so I gave him a pouch made from the original tent from my VW van.
