Canadian Compass

by Sherri Sylvester 

Canadian Compass

Sherri learned to love sewing at a young age. When her oldest was born, this love got a bit out of control, in a good way! She has been writing tutorials and blogging at Thread Riding Hood, since 2012 and can’t imagine doing anything else. Sherri writes from Ontario, Canada and loves to promote all things Canadian. She loves working from home alongside her husband, and being able to greet her two daughters when they get home from school. When she’s not sewing, she’s likely reading a novel and snacking on wavy chips and dip!

Inspiration for Canadian Compass

Canada reminds me of forests, road-trips, and lots of land. Thoughts of exploring our amazing country inspired this stylized compass-themed block.
