Love….. it can go from one extreme to another; either it is
totally mushy and commercial or something as simple as a love of the outdoors.
Well, I wanted to do something completely
different. Firstly, I haven’t done any hand stitching in this piece
except when putting on the binding; and secondly, I’m getting over my fear of
free motion quilting and have done the entire background in different motifs.
During the Olympics in February, I found that every time the
Canadian flag was raised, I stood proudly in my living room belting out the
Canadian anthem with a great sense of pride.
So, my interpretation of “Love” is for my country. I may not like the politics, the politicians,
the taxes or the weather, but I’m very thankful to be living in this country - O Canada!
