This started out from a little cross stitch kit I bought several years ago. It features a few items of Newfoundland and Labrador, namely the provincial bird, the puffin, and the provincial flower, the pitcher plant. At the time I think you could buy a similar design for each of the Canadian provinces.
After finishing the cross stitch, I decided to make it into a little quilted hanging.
I made a drawing of what looked like waves which I thought an appropriate motif for a province on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. I used that to guide me in adding a little hand quilting to the top and bottom of the hanging.
The side seams are actually much straighter than the photos allow, by the way.
I just sewed the ends last night and added a couple of ribbons to the back for hanging. So I'm going to say this is no longer a UFO but an FO (is there such a thing?).
