….I’m a day late
My daughter-in-law’s family celebrated Nowruz yesterday in Iran. I wanted to post the Iranian quilt square on this special day but I’m a day late. To those who celebrate I apologize. Thanks to Becky B for hosting March Square.

I’m a day late with this one. Time just ran out yesterday with a long doctor’s appointment in the afternoon and a visit with our daughter that started with coffee and pastries at our local Italian bakery and then went into dinner at our place. After supper I drove my daughter to the subway station and then I continued on to a book club in the evening.

What could be more fitting today than a quilted square from the Quilt Belonging collection representing Ireland.
What could be more Irish than the Celtic cross cross stitched on Cashel linen. This piece was hand stitched by Loralyn Reilly Gazdik whose grandmother emigrated to Canada for economic and political reasons. For over two centuries the Irish have made huge contributions to the fabric of Canadian culture.

Take a slice of a somewhat ’round’ tree trunk and you have art. This sculpture sits next to the elevator at Nordstrom’s.

Thanks to Becky B from Life with B for hosting a month of March Squares.
Gingham patterns always make me think of summer. This cheery display of colourful dishes instantly made me think of picnics and warm summer days.

Today, March 14, I am the owner of new reading glasses. I purposely chose purple frames because a) I love colour and b) they would be easy to find.

Back in the summer there was a wonderful exhibition of a giant quilt called The Quilt of Belonging. It was on display at the Canadian National Exhibition and each square represents the cultural legacies of all the First Peoples in Canada and every nation in the world. There are 263 blocks in this quilt that measures 120 feet long (36 metres) and 10.5 feet high (3.5 metres).
The first square that I’m sharing with you represents Italy. I wasn’t sure how this house showcased Italian culture but apparently the house in this block is based on a popular song called A Little House in Canada. The song describes the dream of many Italians to own a small house in Canada surrounded by a pool of fish and many lilacs.
…I’ve missed a day so I’ll post two squares today
