It's the last day of November.
So that means it is only one more month until.....
Canada's BIG Birthday!
 |
| Canada 150th Anniversary - Lap 66" x 66" |
 |
| Canada 150th Anniversary - Baby 40" x 50" |
Canada will be turning 150 years old in 2017.
And I have a plan for both a baby and lap quilt design.
The pattern is written and it's testing time!
For this project I will be revisiting my MOD Bear Paw and the Forest Friends quilt designs. This time the Bear, which is the same size it was in the earlier design, will be in two versions - a Polar Bear and a Black or Brown Bear. And each will be hanging out with it's food of choice. Those wee seal pups and their big black eyes are so adorable! And the salmon look so fresh! The Loon and the Canadian Goose are new too!
The Canadian Beaver that is center stage in this design was used in the Forest Friends quilt, but this time I have doubled the size of that block. It now measures a whopping 18" x 26". Looking forward to showing off my great big beaver!
Now... It's your turn for Show and Tell!!!

ReplyDeleteGreat design, Happy (upcoming) Canada Anniversary :)
ReplyDeleteI love your new designs and cannot wait for them to become available
ReplyDeleteLorna, I have been eying these quilts on your side bar - under the coming soon label. Absolutely love them both. If I wasn't already Canadian - I would want to become one - you have made such beautiful designs for the coming 150th Canada's Birthday Celebration. You have picked the perfect animals to represent our Country and in a pattern easy enough for everyone to enjoy. I'm looking forward to stitching these :)!
ReplyDeleteGreat celebration quilt designs!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilt design for Canada's sesquicentennial!
ReplyDeleteLorna, this is an awesome design for the celebration! Every time I see the little beaver with the flag on his belly I smile. Do you have any big plans for the celebration?
ReplyDeleteI love the Canada quilts. Look forward to their release-soon I hope
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one with a naughty sense of humor? You crack me up, Lorna! I am not Canadian, but have a share of ancestral Canadian adventure from Atlin, BC running through my veins. I need another project like I need a hole in the bottom of my fabric bag! lol. But who can resist your attractive patterns? I have a group of ugly Christmas sweaters that really want to become a quilt this season, maybe I can get that completed! Thanks to everyone for the inspiration.
ReplyDeletePretty cool, Lorna! You do Canada proud! XO
ReplyDeleteWhat cool design designs, Lorna! It will be fun to see the patterns turn into quilts.
ReplyDeleteI love these designs. Definitely will be buying this one.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful quilts for Canada's birthday.
ReplyDeleteHa ha - showing off your big beaver! Great pattern - have been promising my Canadian cousin a gift for some time ... now I will have the perfect pattern and no more procrastinating :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Just totally, amazingly awesome!
ReplyDeleteWow, LOVE those Canadian themed quilts!!! They are awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the new designs. Can't wait to make them!
ReplyDeleteThat is going to be a fabulous quilt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pattern! I wish I knew a Canadian to make it for. Maybe I should make it for myself since my Grandfather was French Canadian.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt design is wonderful! I'd love to make this quilt.
ReplyDeleteLove your 150 quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great pattern!! Keep them coming.
