Thanks! It was soooo much work but I have more confidence to tackle quilted garments!

Thank you! The pattern will be released via Alderwood Studios’ modern makes membership in June! :) www.alderwood-studio.com/modernmakes?...

She is so positive and encouraging! Highly recommend a class or retreat with House of Taiga :)

Photo shows four triangles made from folded squares as well as four binding strips made from 2.5” strips folded lengthwise right sides together.

Photo shows a triangle aligned with the corner of a quilt front, two binding strips laid overtop, clipped to the quilt

Photo shows the binding strips and triangle now sewn to the quilt front, first with a 1/4” seam, folded and pressed away from seam, then sewn again with a 1/8” seam. The corner of the quilt is clipped slightly.

Photo shows the binding strips and triangle flipped to the back of quilt. Strips are handsewn down but the triangle is left open to hold a thin wooden dowel. The dowel is also inserted through a fabric loop sewn onto the back of the quilt.

Small rectangles of fabric laid out in a color gradient from bubblegum pink at top to dark turquoise at bottom.

Can’t believe I made a quilt coat! Great retreat in Wolfville with Violet Quilts and Taiga. #quiltsky

Cutting square after square (after square) in preparation for my first retreat, first gradient, first quilt coat! Taking color scheme suggestions!

I know I’m getting old because I totally wiped out on ice last night in front of my son’s friend and he didn’t even laugh - just looked very concerned.

Thank you!! 🌈

Emmett and I have been checking out free museum evenings around town. I was pleasantly surprised to see board games and kid-friendly activities set out at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic last night, and they even offered a free tour! #yhzsky

Thanks Jodi! It was a fun project to work on and also interesting to work within the creative commons license and history of the flag. Hope I did the history justice.

Did you know you can book a night tour of Shubie Wildlife Park? A wonderful experience during November’s Beaver Moon on Friday with North West Kjipuktuk Scouting.
