I am from Toronto-the city everyone loves to hate. What can I say. It is a big busy city. Most of us are ordinary people like everywhere else.
I am not sure if Debbie still belongs to the guild though at one time I think she was prez.
did you buy the Tims book?I would really like to learn this technique.
What do you teach? I teach JK/SK and it is exhausting.After 5 years of it I may need a change next year.The kids are very cute but the day is non-stop.I never sit at my desk--in fact I have not cleaned it off completely since early July when I spent a week purging and reorganizing my classroom.
Oddly enough I got an email from Debbie in Edmonton today also!
Cheers!

Anna I am a teacher as well and Canadian.
I love your harmonic convergence quilt. Is it from Ricky's book?I really want to learn this technique!
I have a nursing friend in Edmonton who is a quilter as well. Her name is Debbie.

Hi Anna. I have just looked at your quilts, they are beautiful. I have always wanted to do a bargello but have not yet taken the plunge. How long have you been quilting? You are very talented. ~Myrna

Anna: I read that article about the wind storm and damages and the death toll.....how freightening it must have been! I try to keep up with what's going on in Canada and I had no idea where in Canada this was.....just that it wasn't close to my sister & her family. Yes, we do have some catching-up to do and it's never enough time for us!
Have a great week! Joyce

Thanks Anna! I think the little purses turned out so cute.......I can almost see the smiles on 2 little girls faces! Can you imagine living in a straw or mud hut and having nothing? These children have dental care 1 time a year and a clinic once a month. The missionaries bring the Word of God and the Love of Jesus to them but, funds are small and there is no money for "frills" for the children like toys,games,etc.
Changing subject: My sister is going on a week long Salmon Fishing trip with her "kids" and her grand baby. I am saving my $$$'s to go see them all next summer and I am excited at the thought and the plans! How's the weather there? We've had so much rain lately my yard is like a wet,soggy sponge! We are supposed to have 90's temps. ans sun until Wednesday this week, then more rain Thurs.,Fri., & Sat.

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my quilts. Yours, however, are outstanding!! Beautiful! When my health was better, we used to go to either Ontario (Lake Savant) or Mannitoba every year to fish. Canada is such a beautiful country. Let's keep in touch, eh! LOL

Hi Anna: Thanks for your welcome. Your quilts are gorgeous. Wow! Do you use a long-arm quilt machine? Most of my quilts are baby/crib size which I can easily quilt in my regular sewing machine. I am so happy to hear from another teacher. Thanks for giving me a name for my summer activities: quilting binge. You described my vacation perfectly. I have been teaching for 13 years. The majority of my students are new English learners (primary language Spanish). Even though I do not speak any Spanish, most of my boys and girls have no problem communicating with me. My biggest challenge is communicating with parents. I usually need a translator. Last year my school changed to a traditional calendar (Sept. - June). Prior to that we were on a year-round schedule. I don't miss the constant packing, moving, and changing classrooms; but my husband and I do miss the 6 week vacations since we enjoy traveling.

Hi Anna: Thanks for inviting me to be your friend!!! I have just looked at your quilt photos and notice two things - you really like Bargello designs and your favorite color is blue - just like mine!! I would love to correspond with you about Bargello and other quilts but find it a lot easier to do so directly rather than through this website. My best friend grew up in Calgary and now lives in Grande Prairie after moving around this country and Africa for a while. If you would like to write personally, my e-mail address is kdoublea@kwic.com
Hope to hear from you! KLB

Hi Anna, How long have you been quilting? Your quilts in the photos are gorgeous. Definitely my cup of tea. I love your colours - I tend to be a medium to darks person too. I went for a colour theory class as some point a number of years ago and the brilliant teacher told us that we should round out our stash with values and also to try using our least favourite colour (spelling tells you I'm a 'died in the wool' Canadian!) I always have this in the back of my mind but it is difficult. Again, gorgeous stuff!
