Scottish theme
For anyone who has ever undertaken a road trip from England into Scotland, they may well recall seeing this large welcome sign. In one sign the Gaelic is white, in another, yellow. I chose the yellow. [ATTACH=CONFIG]550167[/ATTACH] haven't made this for any particular reason other than I wanted to! This isn't the first time this road sign has been immortalised in a quilt, but it's definitely the first time for me.

Have wanted to take a train north to Scotland since my mother's mother I found out came illegally from Scotland thru Canada but married an American. Found this out many years after she died. I have always loved everything Scottish and I know now why. Nicely done. You will remember your trip with this interesting quilt.

That's cool. One day you may find the time to visit your grandmother's birthplace. I am Scottish and live here too but anytime I have to make a road trip to England, this sign on the approach to the Border gladdens my heart and always always makes me smile.
