Astrid has made a quilt just for the occasion of celebrating our Scottish heritage. We had a lovely dinner including haggis and shortbread cookies. Astrid wants readers to be aware that haggis is gluten free. The shortbread cookies were made using a gluten free recipe. Anyway, back to the quilt!
Here is Astrid, in her Scottish skirt, showing off her quilt, "Scotch Pines". It is a little bigger than she expected it to turn out, but now it is certain to cover her from head to toe. We all told her, it would look lovely in our living rooms. She quilted it herself, using the stippling method. Happy Birthday to Robert Burns, the Scottish bard that wrote "Flow Gently Sweet Afton", "Auld Lang Sine", and may others. You take the high road, and I am going to do some more quilting (and have another shortbread cookie). Someone put on the bag pipe music!
