Quilting Friends,
Well, we made it to Nova Scotia…how come I’ve never heard what a beautiful area this is? If you haven’t visited yet, you should. Here we are in the Fundy National Park, in New Brunswick, relaxing on their iconic Red Chairs. We’re on a hunt for as many as we can find in national parks all over the Canadian Maritimes. Oh, and Happy Canada Day!
If you’re a fairly new reader of this newsletter, you may not know that the Calendar page on the website is a quick way to view upcoming events all over the state. Give it a look-see.
Happy Quilting,
Mary-Jeanine
