Here’s a shameless plug for a real treasure that was published very recently; The Garrett Bluenose Patterns is a group effort by teachers from the Nova Scotia and New Brunswick area. Besides giving well researched history on this collection, there are fantastic photos and patterns which you can hook up. In Canada the book is around $35.
Right now I’m working on a Saundra (Woodland Junction blog) project. This was an invitation to hook up a quilt block from the famed Reconciliation Quilt of 1867. I can draw, so I sketched out my own but Saundra can do up a pattern if you struggle.
My choice was the lady on horse but there are many to choose from. I’ll post my progress soon. Here is Saundra’s spot:

Oh, looking forward to yours and Saundra's progress on the blocks.
Not sure if I will play along at this time. Too many irons in the fire!!!
I'm too slow for hook alongs and, like Lauren, have to many things going on here right now even if I tried, but it will be fun, as it always is, to follow everyone else's projects! ~Robin~
I too will be following this challenge from the comfort of my office chair.
Was chuckling at all t he comments because I've already reverse hooked sections of the hat, face and border around the head. Not the entire thing, just redirected or moved some loops. Basically what I'm saying is there is no more progress this time today than there was this time yesterday. Talk about s l o w....lol.
I bet that is a wonderful book.
I will follow along I just have to much going on right now in my hooking.

I gotcha. There’s a lull with my irons so I’m hooking 😊

I am trying to choose a block from Saundra's challenge , but I can't make up my mind !
