Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome to the Canadian quilters who are visiting from Blogathon Canada today.

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada,

and I make quilts from scraps and other little bits.

I'm posting some of my recent quilts here again

to show those of you stopping by on this Canadian blog tour.

 

 

I love string quilts, and over the past months I've put together four,measuring 60 by 80.

Three of them are pictured here

and they're headed for a local charity.

Many of my local quilting friends contributed string blocks measuring 6 by 12 inches

so together we've made quilts from the bits and pieces in our sewing rooms.

I also play with letters and words.

This is another collaborative quilt, made by blogging friends.

It's ready to be quilted, but I'm still considering my options.

This is another group quilt I made with 11 members of an online bee.

Some of the other bee quilts were published in

15 Minutes of Play by Victoria Findlay Wolfe

but I was the last one in the year, so mine wasn't completed in time.

Here's the back. It measures 50 by 60 inches

and I machine quilted it.

If you're still with me, here's a mini quilt measuring 12 by 12 inches 

made for another online challenge at the 15 minutes play blog.

I used up solid bits from my scrap bag,

and quilted feathers all over it.

I'm prepared to give it away to one of my fellow Canadians

in honour of Blogathon Canada.

Here's how you enter:

leave me a comment telling me where you live and what the weather is like today.

If you're a Canadian already following my blog, or a new follower,

leave me another comment telling me that.

 

Make sure you're not a no-reply blogger or leave me an email address in the comments.

 

I'll pick a winner on Sunday while my husband is watching the Grey Cup.

He's lived in Manitoba for more than half of his life,

but he's cheering for the green team!

Here's the back, with triangles for easy hanging.
