Table Topper for CQA

Last weekend Barb from Babs 'n Jas Designs held a free table topper workshop for our guild. The CQA has asked for donations of table toppers for the up coming Quilt Canada in St. John's, Newfoundland. 2o of us spent National Quilt Day making these:



I also managed another block for my super heroes project. Instead of a symbol I tried a mask. Here is Ironman:

Woohoo! I Was Published!

This was the highlight of February for me! An article that I wrote, about how quilters' guilds can use blogs to improve their presence on the internet, was published in the Canadian Quilter a quarterly publication of the Canadian Quilters' Association!


Besides this blog and my store blog, I also edit our guild's blog. As our guild president often says, "I'm doing the happy dance!"

Quilting Treasures

Here are a few quilting treasures I picked up in Michigan... some inexpensive fat quarters and Gwen Marston & Freddy Moran's Collaborative Quilting!!!


And at the Waterloo Quilt Festival....some Amy Butler and Robert Kaufman fabric, as well as a couple of half price books! (my camera doesn't seem to pick up the warmness of the brown and blue polkadot fabric, trust me it is chocolatey yummy!)


Here is another neat quilt to show you from the Waterloo Quilt Festival, my personal favourite, Camelot by Judy Garden. It won the CQA 2006 Juried Show award for Excellence for a Bed Quilt.

It seems it is mostly reverse applique. I really liked the choice of blue and green in this quilt. The blue fabric seemed to be a brushed cotton, it had an almost suede like quality to it.
