A Very Canadian Tat-a-long 2024

 Hi everyone!

Every year I do a quick tat-a-long for the days leading up to Canada Day.   I have been doing this since 2018 and every year it it seems to work out.  The project is not meant to tat you all day to tat and is just a fun quick project.  There will still be plenty of time to go watch fireworks and parades.  The Canada Day Tat-a-long will be followed by a 4th of July Tat-a-long.  This will occur over the days leading up to the 4th.  I hope you enjoy these projects!
