Out and About!

I've read that one of the best things to do with your blog is to let people see where you live, so I thought I'd slip in a few pictures of my little piece of the planet . These were taken yesterday - in the rain - in downtown Truro . . . .














It was named after the city of Truro, in Cornwall, England, and first settled in 1761. Lots of the streets are really narrow - leftovers from years ago.












There are many, many churches in town, and so many of them are very old & stately. And because the town is so old, the cemetaries are my favorite places to walk, because of the really old markers.




Enough history; on to quilting!

Here's another Kansas City Star pattern; this one is English Ivy, from 1931.



Haven't had a chance to "tweak" it yet, but it looks like it has possibilities!





My Tree of Life is still a work in progress:


And I'm working on some hand embroidery:



This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, so to all of my Canadian readers:

Having both landed part of the weekend off, Mr Patchmaker and I plan on eating way too much, sleeping way too late, and pretty much looking like the mouse in the picture!

Happy Quilting!
