I’m a Canadian empty nest mom with 3 grown girls. I sew flimsies (love that term! We call them quilt tops around here.) and machine quilt for myself, friends and clients. I’ve got an Inspira quilt frame (since March 2010) with a Pfaff Hobby Quilter (since 2008). The frame is ok but the machine is the BEST! I’ve got another sewing business as well. I design and manufacture custom ringette pants (PennerAll.com) so for that I have a White serger too. That keeps me pretty crazily busy from September until after Christmas so I quilt a lot of the rest of the year. I’m also into retro aprons which I’m trying to get into gear to flog as well. I do much better with a deadline.
My very first post on January 12, 2011 covers why I started this blog and what I hope to accomplish.












Hey lady:
Cute “chick” you have there!!!
Still can’t find the subscribe to your blog click, so I’m saving the E-mail page and going in from that.
Looking forward to tomorrow nite, remember to bring the purple (just kidding), no really bring it. No batting in Embrun, may I purchase it from you?
See you Cheryl
Thank you!
See the orange button – the dot with the 2 smiles underneath? Press that.
I’m looking forward too and I swear, if I forget the purple, I’ll go back and get it.
Yes to the batting.
xo
Not sure how to follow you..but wanted to let you know.your blog is filled with surprises….love the chicks..I too am a Canadian and an empty nester…whoop whoop lol
Yes, I know it’s a bit of a mystery in this theme. It’s the square orange button on the top banner with the dot and 2 smiles. Let me know if you have any problems. I’m new at this but I’ll try to help. Thanks for following!
