my goodness, big move! Keep us posted and enjoy your new adventure, Im sure you'll love Canada, I know I awlays did when we went up on trips. sharet

More good wishes on your move! How exciting.

My oldest daughter and her son live in Hamilton, some south of Toronto, and they love it! It's so pretty and clean and the people are very nice.

I add my welcomes to Canada - I am hour and a half east of Toronto. Will you be close by. We have some great quilt shops!! Good luck with the move

Welcome to Canada! Where will you be living? I live in Manitoba. You will love it here (except for the high cost of fabric and maybe the cold winters!). You're coming at a great time of the year. Fall colours are gorgeous.

thanks everyone... my partner who is canadian has family in some parts of ontario,ie- hamilton, port dover. so have been before but loved it in kawartha lakes area as we have a few friends there...

Good luck with your move. Not easy to be a displaced person. We are friendly here. From a quilter in Southern Ontario

Oh, Canada is a wonderful country. Hope everything goes smoothly and that you can get your new sewing area set up soon so you feel right at home!

Good luck with your move...just remember to say "ey" after every sentence....

Best wishes for your new life in Canada, don't worry they have quilters there too. :-D

I was in the Navy and moved multiple times. I loved exploring the new areas I moved into. Could not wait to settle down, now I am getting the itchy foot to travel. Sigh, lack of money keeps me grounded.

It will be fine. While you are there, make sure you bake some salmon, put it on some baby spinach or lettuce, and get some Hines 57 English Dressing. I fell in love with it, and can only get it in Canada when my scrapbooking friend goes there to visit family.

Moving can be really exciting in that one can "start fresh" and make new friends. Maybe you can find some quilters and mix right in.

I have to add my welcome too. Having moved 19 times in 25 years of marriage, I know the stresses that you are feeling. But we're all here, ready to welcome you with open arms! My DD's inlaws have a cottage near Lindsay. It is a lovely area. I am about 2-2.5 hours west of you.

Good Luck with your new home!!!From the sounds of it you are moving to a beautiful area!!

Welcome to Ontario! I'm sure you'll find us Canadians very friendly. I'm in Ontario too, way down in the southwest.

I moved last august and am not quite settled. a friend of mine who has moved multiple times says it takes about a year and a half to get back to your normal self. So be patient with wonderful you. and good luck.

Ha ha ha :o) - We actually spell it 'eh'. It's something we say that means 'don't you agree'. Like this Quilting Board is really fun and helpful eh? Devon will know she's been here long enough when she hears herself say it for the first time!

good luck

Welcome to our side of the pond!

I can't believe this ---I was reading wishing you were coming close to me and low and behold you will be just min away. Please after you get here -don't wait til you are settled -pm me . I would love to have a new quilting friend and I might be some help for you since we are retired. OH, I am so excited for you.
There is another member close also. We met a few weeks ago but I can't get photo from my camera to show everyone.

Hi Devon

I hope that your move goes smoothly and that you soon discover new Canadian friends that will get you involved in quilting and other activities. You might find things different for a while (We drive on the right side) and have some different names for things but all that aside we are much the same as our English friends.

Welcome

Gloria in Toronto

well i've finally moved into our new home in lindsay,ontario. what a journey, i do not recomend living in a motel room for a month with 2 adults, 1 12yr old and 2 large dogs, but we are in a lovely turn of the century home. just need more furniture and its home.

Wondered what happened to you but thought you were getting settled. Hope we can meet before I get packing for the south. :roll:

I have been thinking about moving back to Canada myself. I was wondering if anyone here could suggest some movers to help me out. I have found a few companies, but I can no longer lift heavy objects and could use the extra help.
