Here am I stitching while traveling on the Coho ferry to Port Angeles, Washington, USA.
One of the passengers, a tourist from China, travelling with her family, was fascinated watching what I was doing. We got talking and I invited her to work on the cloth. Her concentration and dexterity were way beyond what I expected from her age.
From the ferry I was able to point out an Arbutus tree slipping by and made the connection with the Arbutus cloth she was working on.
The hand stitched quilt on our bed in the Bed 'n' Breakfast we stayed in looked at home under my tree cloth.
The colours and log cabin/ flower patterns on the quilt were sympathetic with my simple running stitch and nature based concept.
