This is on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland... also known as the Irish Shore in a little place called Tors Cove. We have sat there looking down at the Cribbeys ( that's the name of this tiny spot) and watched whales breach just beyond the headland. It is heaven on earth for me. And very special for my husband as his greatgrandmother was born in Tors Cove.
I can't give you any tips but I too would like to try an 'art' quilt ---that is, after all my 'must-do' projects are finished LOL.
Aren't we lucky!!!! I live in the area and visit this spot often in the summer. I have sat on that grassy area too and watched the whales and icebergs. Another of my favorite spots is the lighthouse in the community where I was born----the Ferryland lighthouse ---- I'd like to do that in a quilt.

My favorite brother-in-law (On my hubby's side!) is from Ferryland. His mother still lives there... I know all the terms... the Downs, the Pool, etc, but couldn't tell ya where they're all too!
