0 Comments

 
For all of my CQA webinar registrants who did not get to hear by 2 short videos about Procreate, they are posted below.  My apologies.  Hopefully you can hear them now.  The Procreate class I took to get to know this amazing app was found at www.whitearborquilting.com with Bethanne Nemesh.  I recommend her course.  This is a great tool for design.  Thanks for attending my webinar. For those that did not attend, info is available at www.canadianquilter.com/webinar . *Please turn up your volume if there are any issues with the sound* Thanks and Enjoy!
The below video is about drawing gridwork only.

Showing & sharing my Intro to Ruler Work Quilting Class from yesterday with the lovely ladies from the Stratford Quilt Club, they worked hard at understanding how to work with Rulers.  Below are some photos.  Thanks so much to these Stratford beauties!😊❤️
If you are interested in making the above quilt- It's from my original pattern "Interlocked" and it's a great quilt to practise ruler work or free motion quilting as the individual spaces are big.  The pattern is available here

I participated in an awesome event on Friday and Saturday and it was at Stitch it Central London, ON.  Their Anniversary open house and sale.
  There were a ton of customers, demos, prizes and BERNINA Machine Sales.  They not only had BERNINA machines on sale but the whole store and I witnessed many customers get fantastic deals on fabric, notions, knitting, cross stitch, embroidery supplies and so much more.  It's the ultimate stitchery store!!
It was really a fun atmosphere, wonderful customers and staff.  I think fun was had by all.  If you're in the market for the best sewing machine there is (in my humble opinion), get in touch, do not pass go and contact www.stitchitcentral.ca or 519-601-5901 Address for the store is : 1-1161 Hamilton Rd. E,  London, Ontario.  The  BERNINA Machine sale continues until this Friday Nov 14 and they offer a trained service technician in store so don't miss out.  BERNINA Made to Create❤️
