Well, I’ve been back from Toronto and teaching at Quilt Canada for almost two weeks, and have been back in the swing of things. I still owed you some photos and comments on a great Conference and Quilt Show. The International Centre where Quilt Canada was held in Toronto, a few minutes from the airport,…
before I leave for Toronto and Quilt Canada. Right now, to tell you the truth, I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to take all the paper I have with me … :-) Plus kits, fabric, samples, quilts … it’s a never-ending story, it seems. But what a great opportunity! I think it’s going…
Hope you enjoyed Part I of my trip to Inuvik. Here’s part II, with a bit of information on what makes Inuvik so unique: The site for Inuvik was chosen for its elevation above the Mackenzie River floor zone, ample space for an airport, freshwater lakes and navigable waters. The community sits on a broad terrace…
I can’t believe that I’ve been back from Inuvik for about 10 days now. Time seems to fly-by these days. I had promised to post about my trip, which was fantastic, by the way. I had a really good time; the town is very interesting and the people I met, lovely. Here are a few…

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…

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…
I stayed at the lovely Garryvoe Hotel in Castlemartyr. I had a room with a view. A lovely view, actually, of the beach right across the street. Here are a few photos I took the day I went for a walk before breakfast. I took a photo of Ballycotton Island with the lighthouse. This photo was taken…
