Time to catch up a bit.
ghostrider-I used that same leaf. I was not aware of the history until QuiltE told it to us. I am a bad Canadian.

My excuse, I hated history in school and they didn't teach much in the way of Canadian history, anyway.
Jenniky - machine quilting always. I AM thinking of playing with a few more of those 60 stitches on my machine, though. Also, that nap blanket is really cute. Lucky child.
dublb - looking forward to seeing the next project.
QuiltE - sounds like a good weekend. Looking forward to seeing some photos. Have you asked about future classes or sew-alongs?
callen - Hope you decide to join the challenge. The more, the merrier and, you can see the variety of projects so, anything goes.
nursie76 - So glad we can offer some inspiration and encouragement. I'm looking forward to seeing a photo or two when you are able. As QuiltE has said multiple times, we will be here long after July 1 so will continue to provide encouragement.
I'm taking a break from mine for a bit because I made so much progress last weekend. But, if it rains all weekend I may just have to make myself a quilt sandwich.
