    A Truly Canadian Quilt

This quilt is one that I made last year with members of the quilt guild. It was a lot of fun to make, especially choosing what to include in my quilt. It is a sofa size quilt so I chose to use flannelette to make it extra cosy for winter evenings. I machine quilted it on a domestic sewing machine ( my first attempt at machine quilting). It was a lot of fun to do and I especially enjoyed free motion quilting. I hope that you can see in the pictures the tree bark including knot holes, the moose fur and the tree branches. I choose to do the background in a cross-hatched pattern. I will continue to do machine quilting in the future. It is great to have completed a project.
