Good early morning from cloudy and rainy Calgary, Hope this finds everyone fine and enjoying the Summer months. It’s been busy here in Calgary … still recovering after the flooding, lots of work to be done. A few groups have been organized around town and surrounding areas to make and gather quilts to help those…
Good afternoon, It’s been a difficult day today and part of yesterday when the city went under emergency alert due to flooding. Both the Elbow River and the Bow River were extremely high, and expected to crest before midnight. That would cause them to overflow their banks. Low areas of the city went under alrt…
Finally, we have a break iin the weather. It’s a sunny 18 degrees right now. Went out for lunch with some people from work and it was a huge effort to come back to work, when all we wanted to do was sit outside in the sun. It’s been a long winter. Although I have…
Good morning everyone and a Happy Easter to you all. I had a visit from the Easter Bunny last week. He sat by my front door for hours, quietly watching … I was in Cleveland last week, taping 5 segments for QA TV Series 1200. And despite the snow and the cooler weather, it was…
Good morning from a somewhat sunny Calgary, We had a snowy weekend although I guess we shouldn’t complain as we had a mild February. Luckily, it gave me the chance to use that as an excuse to stay home and prepare for taping for QA TV next Monday, March 25th. I am doing 6 segments…
Good and snowy early morning in Calgary, Once again, I find myself in the need to apologize because I haven’t blogged in a long time. I cannot believe that it’s mid-March already! Where have the first two months of the year gone? But, just because I have not blogged, doesn’t mean I haven’t been doing…
From snowy and white Calgary! I just came back from the last of the supermarket runs in preparation for tonight. It’s starting to snow outside, and it’s very cold. The roads are very very icy and slippery, not a very good day for driving. But … it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! It…
I am here again. I had promised on my last blog to randomely choose a winner from the comments left on my blog for one of my pear pieces. Unfortunately, once again, because my computer was dying, the comments never showed! but now … I found them, so – because a promise is a promise…
Nowhere, really. Well, here and there for a while, Houston and Vancouver teaching … but other than that … here really, working away. The problem is that my poor laptop was slowly and very painfully dying so it wouldn’t allow me really to do much of anything other than read my email. So on Saturday,…

In this new issue, i have an article on how to make my sample book using a sketchbook and some fabrics, and of course, some samples. If you’ve watched Quilting Arts TV Series 1000, you…
I can’t believe this is the third time I’ve tried to work on this entry. I’ve lost the other two, somewhere in cyberspace. Let’s try this one again, shall we? :( So, as I was saying, a few weeks ago I taught a fabric dyeing class at home. 8 ladies plus I dyeing fabric, what…
Not that I’ve been anywhere, just busy, so it feels like I’ve been gone. I was away for a week in Halifax for Quilt Canada 2012; thinking back I can’t believe it’s been a month since I’ve been back. New job, new boss, new office … lots and lots of work. And long days ……
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you. I hope you had a great time with family. I had brunch with my two boys who came home and brought me the most beautiful bunch of flowers, with Lilies, Sunflowers and Calla Lilies. Ale made Eggs Benedict with Holandaise Sauce. Don’t they look wonderful? They tasted great…
It has been a while since I blogged last. Life got in the way only as life is able to do; but … things are starting to settle down, so I hope it won’t be so long before I blog next. First, here are some photos from last weekend’s Simple Curves workshop that I taught…
