Welcome to Blog-A-Thon Canada

If you are stopping by from the last day of the Blog-a-Thon, I'd like to welcome you with an introduction.

I live in Kitchener, Ontario, which has a very active quilting community. Some say the Waterloo Region is the Quilt Capital of Canada!  Quilt shows and quilt stores abound in this area, so there is no shortage of inspiration. Along with making quilts, I like to get out to see the wonderful quilts that others have made. I also like photography, cooking, gardening, cycling, nature, and travelling. I've been known to sew many different kinds of items, and have on occasion picked up knitting or embroidery needles.

This Blog-A-Thon is a Canadian adventure, sponsored by the great Sew Sisters Quilt Shop, and the hosts for today are Jackie's Art Quilts, and Krista Quilts. You may hop on over to win great prizes by leaving a comment, and have a look at other Canadian bloggers you might not yet have seen.

I'd like to show you a few of the quilts I've made.

In other news:  My home team, the Saskatchewan Roughriders, are playing in the Grey Cup tomorrow. I don't usually keep track of or watch football, but when the Grey Cup is on the line, and the 'Riders are playing, I'm paying attention!  Go 'Riders.
