I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas! I also can’t believe that I haven’t posted in almost a month. Although I have not been idle. If you follow me on Instagram, you’d have seen that I’ve been quite busy finishing up stuff. One of the advantages of belonging to the Flying Needle Quilt Guild (we meet…
A short one today, but it packs a punch. What do you think? True? False? Maybe? Ana
We are expecting snow today and tomorrow. I guess we shouldn’t complain considering that it’s almost the end of November and the weather has been beautiful, for the most part. The sun was shining yesterday and it was so warm in my studio that I had to open the window and close the blinds. I…
Enjoy your Wednesday Quote. Comments? Ana
Steve Jobs has changed so much in such a short amount of time. I’ve been reading about him, and listening to some of his lectures. He was an amazing man, a visionary and a dreamer. He was never afraid to do what he thought was right. He followed his passion and made no excuses. He saw…
I went to a quilting retreat with members of the Millarville Guild at Pioneer Camp close to Sundre. I had never been there before as the retreat usually falls on the same weekend as the International Quilt Festival in Houston which I did not attend this year. So, off I went to the retreat. The…
Enjoy! Ana
OK, maybe not much of a quote today, but couldn’t resist it. There’s a very lovely chair … and it’s red! BTW, the “Creativity” is a wall decal. Ana
Good morning, It’s going to be another beautiful day in Calgary … I can’t believe that it’s almost the end of October and the temperatures are still hovering in the mid to high teens. It’s supposed to be 19 degrees C today. I wanted to share with you a website I discovered a few days…
I like this one … so where do you want to be? Any thoughts? Please share. Thanks for reading. Keep quilting. Ana

First in Nova Scotia teaching at Pictou Lodge and then in Ohio, at the Crow Timber Frame Barn for Claire Benn’s Text-Ile: Text in Art Textiles 5-day workshop. Another amazing workshop by Claire with 19 other very talented ladies. Lisa and I got together in St. Mary’s,…
Good words to live by … Ana
Another new sample, this time using 100% Tuscany Wool by Hobbs. The fabric is silk Dupioni and the thread is Wonderfil Rayon, 40 weight. I used a deep burgundy to quilt the feather and a color close to the background for background filling all in straight lines. Everything was done with a free-motion foot and…
Good afternoon, Some more photos of the “Dawn Over Heritage Park” workshop I taught at Pictou Lodge this past week. This is the Juliana Room: Here are some of the blocks that Ann, Fiona and Linda put together: And a class photo taken outside with my quilt: The last photo I have to share was taken…
Apologies if you receive this one twice … Good morning, I got back on Sunday from spending a few days in Pictou, Nova Scotia, at the Pictou Lodge invited by the Mayflower Quilters. What glorious days we had. Met lots of ladies I hadn’t seen in a while whom I had met at Quilt Canada…
