Welcome to My Quilting Blog
The mediocre teacher tells.
The good teacher explains.
The superior teacher demonstrates.
The great teacher inspires.

Welcome to my blog. I’m not sure where I’m going with it. For now, it is about my adventures in quilting.
I am a fairly new quilter of almost two years. I have not developed a particular style, as I am open to try almost anything - quilting related. I tend to jump in with both feet, and have been told that I have done a few things which are more advanced, then maybe I should have done at my experience level.
I love the creativity quilting allows. From selecting fabrics, to designing. Taking a pattern and changing it to meet my whims.
I am a self-professed learner… I enjoy learning, and quilting is definitely giving me that “fix”. I don’t have a style, and I hope I never acquire one.
I’m 43, married to the same guy with 4 children, Boy 24, Girl 22, Boy 12, Girl 10, and one granddaughter 3. I live in the best place on Earth (according to the advertising, and I agree), British Columbia.
I worked in the computer industry for awhile, ran my own business. My favourite was teaching. I currently work casual on-call secretary for the School District. I also do free-lance editing/formatting/proofreading of documents. I have to have some work to pay for my habit… I mean my hobby.
My goals and aspirations with regards to quilting:
- I would like to go into teaching quilting… and I get my first try in May. I will be teaching a “beginner’s bargello” to our local guild. (Did I mention jumping in with both feet? *grin*)
- Enter a quilt into a contest.
- Enter a quilt into a juried quilt show.
- Perfect my piecing… so when I do follow a pattern it is the size it is supposed to be.
