Sailboats Anyone?

Nautica

Long before I moved to the east coast, I grew up and spent most of my life in Ontario.
When looking through my quilts, I was a little surprised to find how many sailboats I've included in my quilts - Eight!
And then again...maybe I shouldn't be, as a sailboat is such a symbol of summer for me, because my Father had a sailboat, and each summer he'd take me sailing on Lake Simcoe.
Don't be mistaken, I don't personally know how to sail, but always enjoyed the peaceful way the wind blows you across the water - no motor needed!

[Note: The highlighted words are also links to the different quilt patterns, if you'd like more information.]

The first time I included a sailboat was in my Nautica quilt, with all six blocks having a nautical, east coast theme.
And a few decades later, I feel right at home here!

The Sampler

I also included a sailboat in my The Sampler quilt, which has 32 ~ 6" blocks!

Row by Row for Baby

In 2003 the Row by Row for Baby quilt didn't include a sailboat,
but I did offer a Sailboat row as one of the bonus options:

Happy Sailing!
