Up next on our photo tour of Canadian Design: Sunny Alberta! This is my home province, and I am pleased to show off a few of my excellent neighbours. We also have one other representative from Canada's Prairie People, and she resides in Friendly Manitoba. Sadly, Saskatchewan does not appear to have a participating designer this year, though if I am wrong about this, please let me know!Please note that this list may not be exhaustive; it's a big event, and I may have missed someone, particularly if they did not pin themselves to the event map that you can check out in the Gift-a-Long group.So, here are a few excellent designers you should know about if you don't already from Alberta, plus one from Manitoba. This is just a small sampling of designs, so please follow the links to see more of their work and to purchase patterns:
