I'm happy to say that I accepted the challenge and was able to complete it around midnight last night, in advance of today's noon deadline.
This wall hanging is 11 x 30 inches and represents my hometown of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I've included a lighthouse, a sailboat, and a fishing shed.
Nova Scotia is on the east coast of Canada. We have a lot of lighthouses.
Dartmouth is called the City of Lakes -- we have a large amount of lakes. There is lot of sailing in our lakes and in the harbour (that we share with Halifax). I used Kona Malibu for the water, and Nova Scotia tartan for the sails.
We have numerous fishing communities in my area and in Nova Scotia.
This is a 2016 Row by Row pattern by Lynn's Quilting Studio.
