Profile Information

About Me: I've been sewing since I was three, (My Grandmother (Nana) had lots of patience), retired from Human Research Ethics, have a family and have taught children and adult sewing and quilting classes in my spare time. I'm in the process of doing a Grandmothers flower garden quilt and I have 100 flowers done and now working on putting it all together. Of course, like all quilters I do have one or two more projects on the go. I do a lot of charity work and hold a few positions in some quilt guilds and associations. One day I may really retire from everything for a while and get caught up on some of my own quilts, but right now I'm having a lot of fun doing all these other things. My friend Judi says I should slow down, but she needn't worry it will happen.

We have two wonderful grand children - a boy and a girl, we couldn't be happier. For this we are sincerely blessed.

We have a beautiful cabin we go to in the summer on one of the smaller Gulf Islands, no power, no vehicles, just nature. However, I can't leave my sewing at home so a treadle sewing machine was a must and I do a lot of hand sewing while I sit on the beach or on the cabin porch. It is a wonderful thing to sit and sew and watch all the boats going by, some sailing and some are moving much faster. Then we see an eagle fly overhead, or a blue heron land on the shore to do a bit of fishing. My treadle machine sits right in front of the picture window and I get to watch the sun go down every night and see some of the most beautiful colours of the sunsets.

What a great life! We are very fortunate.

Hobbies and Interests: quilting, applique, paper piecing, hand quilting, machine quilting, embroidery, crazy quilting, general sewing, knitting

My pets are awesome!: Dog and 1cat.

At 3:08pm on July 3, 2011, Jean - Scarborough, ON said…: My apologies Marilyn ... just now got your message ... I'm not too familiar with the workings of the web site -- just read the messages and seldom write. I've been quilting for about twenty years ... a wonderful starter but a very s-l-o-w finisher and not too many pictures of what I've finished. I vowed to make a quilt for each of our eight grandchildren and am finishing up #6 just now. Machine quilted it on a longarm quilter ... and am quite happy with the result. Now for the binding and on to #7 and #8. Then perhaps I'll do things for myself guilt-free instead of feeling I should be working on grandchildren quilts instead of what I'm doing! Nice chatting at you and again, my apologies for being so long in responding!

Have a great day!

Me and the family are coming back this weekend for a few days.

Mind if my wife stops by and drools over your fancy machines?
