Celebrate - Fêtons 150

Welcome to Celebrate - Fêtons 150! We celebrated Canada's 150th birthday and I hosted a special party for my 150th blog post in March!

I've been wanting to host a linking party for a while now, so once a month, I hosted a linking party to celebrate our planned, WIP and completed quilts and art quilts that are related to Canada and to our 150th birthday.

You don't have to be Canadian to participate! We are a polite, inclusive and fun loving country. When there's a party, the more the merrier!

I hope that you'll join me in the festivities. I wish I could share food with you, (my favourite part of any party!) but instead there will be gifts.One prize for every month and a larger prize for the 150th post at the end of March!

Thank you so much for your interest and participation. The Celebrate - Fêtons 150 posts are listed below.
