My Latest Mat

I was asked some time back if I would do a "Newfoundland & Labrador" Flag. I pondered as to how it would look in such a large size; however, when I completed it this morning, I thought the result was ok and it would be great for a Den/Family Room.. The former Newfoundlander who ordered it now lives in Manitoba, so I guess everyone from home likes to have keepsakes of our great province...



The BLUE represents the sea.
The WHITE...snow & ice of winter
The RED...efforts & struggles of Newfoundlanders & Labradorians.
The Gold...Confidence Newfoundlanders & Labradorians have in themselves & the future.

These are my tags on the back of each mat that I make...


As you can see, I am no seamstress..... Enjoy!!!

  2. Kim, I bought the top one and the other is one I made using Photo Fabric. I buy it at WalMart and then struggle with the computer until I get what I want. For lots of people, probably like yourself, it would be a whiz....thanks for looking...

    Here goes again..... I love your flag rug and the significance of the colors!
    VERY nicely done! I like the tags also. It is kind of a pain to make them on the computer but it does the trick!
    Hope you are having a good winter!

  11. Hi Anne, I love your cat and dog. That is exactly the same relationship my dog Maulie and Morris have. It was so funny to see a younger Maulie and Morris. Orange cats are the best. Cheri
