Participants will create a 42” x 48” wall hanging of Nova Scotia’s claim to sailing fame, the Bluenose II. This elegant schooner design is a great accent piece for any lover of tall ships and for any room with a nautical theme. The design also features Battery Point Lighthouse at the entrance to Lunenburg Harbour, the Ovens (caves) in the background, and Folded Fabric Stars in the borders. Quilters will work from a scaled drawing and choose from three methods for making sails.

Anna Davison has taught quilting for 25 years and currently designs quilt patterns sold through her own business in Mahone Bay or taught at various workshops that she facilitates throughout eastern Canada, Ontario and parts west. She has exhibited her quilts at shows in Halifax and Lunenburg County and has made numerous one-of-a-kind commissioned pieces for personal and commercial use and for fund-raising efforts. Anna says her greatest enjoyment comes from seeing the "light come on" when teaching a new idea or technique to workshop participants, whether they are beginners or advanced quilters.
