What a week I had!

Last Friday I was invited to a meeting with our Prime Minister. This can happen only in the Yukon. In any other place in Canada I would have to be some kind of official to receive invitation like that. It was my second meeting with Stephen Harper, two years ago I was invited to have breakfast with Prime Minister.

After the meeting I felt a "better Canadian" and I spend weeke
nd finishing O Canada.



In the close up I'm trying to show a little heart (click on it). What do you think, it is suitable for this project or should I look for another heart. The original had a gold, open heart.

And I had an urge to buy O Canada sampler but, thanks goodness, we didn't have electricity almost all day yesterday and that prevented me from going to my favorite online LNS. So, instead, I was working on Frederick. Here is the progress:

  6. Great finish Evalina! It's a lovely little heart - but do you think it might be too sparkly for this subtle pattern? Maybe something a little more rustic?

    And ... what O Canada sampler???? Also by Sandy Orton?
