Hi from another Ontarioan - is that really what we are called? I'm from the town of Simcoe, near the shore of Lake Erie. Are any other quilters from this Board planning a trip to Quilt Ontario (CQA event) in London near the end of May? Our guild has a bus trip planned for May 26 - can't wait to see all the wonderful quilts, and of course all the Vendors!

Hi
Welcome
I am from Toronto and quilt too much (Is that possible?????)

There is a great deal of good info, sites to visit and pictures of gorgeous quilts. I start most days here while I sip my green tea.

I've sewn all my life. As a child I learned to sew on the old black Singer, patching squares. My Mother would be "shocked" that we nested seams now and all the modern methods. She instilled upon me, always always must press open and make sure they match. So had to re-learn lots and am still learning more all the time.

I learned about taking out seams, thanks to her. If it didn't match she made us re-do it til it was right. At the time, HATED it, though appreciate it all the more now, as often get compliments on my precision work.

Off and on over the years I have sewn and pieced quilts. It's become more of a passion and obsession the last few years. Just never enough time to do all the ideas I have. Thus UFOs abound!! And the stash builds :)

Which makes me wonder why I had not found you lovelies til now??

PS ... any other Canadians here?

Excitement abounds!
Looks like we're neighbours ... can't get a "really" good look at your pic, so have sent you a PM as I "think" we know each other!

If not, no doubt we know folks in common!

I tag label my location as GGTAW (Greater GTA-West)!

So Southern Ontario, compared to your homestead! :)

Yes it was in a pattern book, and I'll post those details later. However, there's lots of versions of it on the web. Check in with Mr. Google .... try strip quilting, strip tubes, etc.
