    Default Newfoundlanders ... a quilt!

    Hello folks ...
    While you face your wicked storm, here's something warm and quilty to check out.

    Last night, the St. John's Mayor did an interview on CBC-TV.
    He was home safe and sound ... and standing right in front of a "library" wall quilt.
    Geeesh ... does he not know that we quilters would have appreciated a better view?

    Any chance that any of you have connections to get a better shot of this quilt!

    Stay Safe and Warm folks ... makes our storm today seem totally trivial.

    Looks like someone did a really outstanding job on that quilt, right down to the tiny spaces under the lower edge of the leaning books.

    Merci Helou! ... Silly me, I never thought of looking for the video to share with others.

    TBH I didn't notice the quilt the first time through either, but with its re-play on later broadcasts,
    Then I went whaaaaat? how did I miss that!!
    Love the ship in the top right and maybe that's a cat to its left?

    Haven't found that particular quilt, but did find a couple of interesting ones using photos instead of books. Might have to try one.

    photo display cabinets

    Gay ... Yes, for sure there are a lot of bookcase quilts out there. This one, I was just drawn to and wanted to honour the maker with lots looking forward to it!

    I didn't see this when originally posted. Just looked at it and found myself doing the "leaning around to see" too.
