I love Montreal!

I just spent a week in Montreal - my favourite city in Canada!!! I love it!!! This city is so full of energy, life, delicious food, incredible style and most important humanity. There is an appreciation of all human beings. This city has such a great pace where people are happy to walk slowly and take in all of the wonderful aspects of life! If you've never been.....it's a must.

Ah......peaceful Nova Scotia!!!

I attended a lovely wedding this weekend on Heckman's Island in Lunenburg County. What a beautiful part of the world!!! I couldn't resist a photo op of the freshly painted Marine Blue row boat waiting for someone to take it out!!! How poetic it was as it rested in the water, on a gorgeous sunshiney day with it's reflection to keep it company. Very peaceful!!!

Quilt and Friends

Quilting is a Nova Scotian tradition upon which the quilter usually gathers leftover fabrics or pieces of recycled clothing to make a blanket for warmth and aesthetic values.

To carry on this tradition, my friends create a quilt as a gift for each of our friends' weddings. Each person creates a square inspired by the couple getting married. Often times, the couple no longer lives in the province but maintains a strong connection to the area. Some squares are created based specific areas of the province that hold a special meaning to the couple. It's a great way to carry on such a tradition as well as gathering friends together to work on a beautiful piece of art that is everlasting. The photo is of my friends on a very windy day at Kingsport. We were checking out all of our fine work!!!
