There are stories to tell....

Quilts are more than wall hangings , covers or blankets. They tell the story of the people, and the times in which they were made.
 Quilting presents the opportunity for members to not only be creative, but to socialize with others who have the same interests. Quilts welcome a new baby into the world, and in some cases are put on display as its maker is made ready for the journey to cross over....
 Quilts keep us warm on a chilly night and decorate our homes. Just as a child draws a picture, we make quilts. We are forever, that child within...

Page 5 Mystery of Oak Island

This is my first attempt at blogging, so I'm afraid my story is being told backwards, as the latest blogs posted, appear first. 
In telling the Oak Island story, I mentioned that I made not just the two quilts, but four quilts(in my excitement about going on the trip.)
My first was Gaelic Fantasy...(I was thinking Irish)....but then was reminded that Nova Scotia actually means "New Scotland" and Scottish ships are known to have visited under Henry Sinclair, Earl of Orkney, who is reputed to have sailed to North America 100 years before the voyages of Christopher Columbus...(and in some accounts is related to the Oak Island Mystery.)


It was then, that I designed and made the Scottish Dreams quilt pictured here...
