I’ve recently retired (and loving it!) and my husband and I moved to beautiful Powell River, BC, last summer. We were able to rent a house on the beach for the summer until our house purchase completed. Needless to say, even though my quilting room had been set up for me I find that I spent a lot of time learning to relax and watch the sunsets
I bought the HQ16 mid-arm quilting machine and frame system about 2 years ago and I’m having so much fun! That’s the reason I started the blog – to share my learning curve with anyone else thinking about getting into machine quilting on a frame or just starting out. I have an on-line store where I sell Superior Threads sewing and quilting threads so I’m kept pretty busy. I hope that you find something useful and fun as you follow along

Saw your ad in The Peak and found your site. Welcome to Powell River. We moved here 10 years ago and just love it. I’m a want-to-be-quilter and have completed several quilts, under the expert guidance of a good friend, but more of a paper crafter/scrapbooker.
I might be giving you a call when I get the present quilt (just started!) ready to quilt!
All the best,
Lorraine
