Welcome to Blogathon Canada! I am happy to welcome you to the Blueberry Patch. And a big thank you to Sew Sisters Quilt Shop for organizing all of this. I been blogging for almost two years and have been enjoying quilting like crazy for about three years after a long, long break. I am a self confessed fabric-aholic. I live in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia and I do work full time as an elementary school principal. I don't get much sewing done during the week but I make up for it on the weekends and during holidays! My kids are all grown up. I actually do live on a small blueberry farm next to the big woods in the country. My husband is very supportive of my habit/hobby and just builds more shelves as I need them! There are some shelves in progress as we speak!

| the great wall of fabric! |
If you have a look at around my blog, you will see that I have lots of quilt finishes under the tabs for both last year and this year. I make mostly quilts. Big ones, baby ones and throw quilts but I have been known to make other things too. Pillows. I make a lot of pillows. I love scraps and love nothing better than to find a great bag of scraps at a quilt shop! I have my scraps colour coded in shoe boxes. I like to be organized.
I am a happy member of the most fabulous Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild. I currently have two quilts on the go. My Proverbial Sunshine quilt and a quilt that so far is just called Another Star. I tend to not have a lot of works in progress because I tend to work on something until it is finished and then start something else. I have recently joined a few online/Flikr swaps and I have really enjoyed those. I started off small with scrap swaps and things like that just to get my feet wet. I have also joined my first online quilt bee. We start in January and I am really looking forward to that!
My most recent finish was for the Scrappy Stash Quilt Along. I used a lot of scraps but somehow those scrap boxes seem just as full!
Some of my favourite quilts are ones I have made from scraps and have stars! Can you tell that I am not afraid of using colour? Oh... I have made quilts with vintage sheets too. And I do like visiting thrift stores. I even found original Flea Market Fancy in thrift stores twice!!!!!!! I almost fainted the first time.
I quilt all my quilts myself. I have a Janome Memory Craft 7700. I seriously love my sewing machine. I use it a lot and I must confess that I actually broke my quarter inch foot the other day. And a needle. But that is another story!
Favourite quilting tip: Use good thread. Hera markers are awesome. Be careful with your rotary cutter. I cut my finger badly this past summer. Eek!
Favourite Quilting Book: I have to say that as a go to book, Elizabeth Hartman's book The Practical Guide to Patchwork is fabulous. Her blog is awesome too.
Favourite Fabric?: I cannot pick one. I love Flea Market Fancy. I love Martha Negley and Kaffe Fasset's in your face florals. I am currently crushing on Violet Craft's Madrona Road. I love that fabric line. I adore the whimsy of Heather Ross. I rarely use a "fabric line" in a quilt as I tend to pick and chose what I like rather than stick with a line.
Here is the fun part! Thank you so much for stopping by! Sew Sisters is sponsoring a lovely giveaway in celebration of Blogathon Canada! Can you see what is in the picture? Squeal! There are 6-1 metre cuts of Anna Maria Horner's Innocent Crush!!!!!! That is 6 metres of fabric!
How to win? Just leave a comment! How about you tell me what the weather is like where you are today? If you are a follower, old or new, you get a second chance! It is that easy.
Please, please, please make sure that you are not a a no-reply blogger! If you are, you will have to include your email address so I can chase you down if you win. This giveaway will be open until tomorrow at 4 pm PST. When I come home from school, I will randomly pick a winner!
Edited to say: The contest is now closed! thank you so much to everyone who has entered!
As part of the blogathon, I have a lovely list of other bloggers from BC! Please take the time to stop over and visit them. I have to say that we have a lot of talented quilty people out there in Beautiful BC! And keep hopping this week because there are more giveaways each day! Pop on over to Felicity's today too!

I enjoy reading your blog and having the school connection. The weather is cold here. Frost on the ground in the morning and 5 to 10 degree days. Perfect for quilting!
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous day here in Halifax. Sunny and above zero! Your quilts are amazing. I love each and every one. I don't own any AMH fabric yet so I would love to win this prize. Fingers crossed.

The weather outside my window is quite grey and gloomy - but warm for November in Wisconsin, 49 degrees. We're supposed to have 40's and 50's all week, which I love. The longer the snow holds off, the shorter winter will seem. Thanks for the give away!
ReplyDeleteThe weather is mild and somewhat cloudy. Not a bad day for southern Ontario.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and love your latest rainbow quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou do beautiful quilts! and that wall of fabric! I am turning green with envy! Thanks for the link to my blog as part of this event. I have no idea what I would do if I one that stack of fabric -- probably share it will my quilting buddies! And the Weather? I am not so far from you so it is much the same, rain, rain, rain and steady rain. My hubby delivers the newspaper at night and when he came in at 5am, everything was soaked thro, then he took the dog for her morning walk and they both came in soaked! Better rain, than snow tho!
ReplyDeleteWeather here is south central Ontario is foggy and grey. It was a bit tricky trying to walk the dogs at 5:30 this morning in the fog AND dark. Love your blog...oooh this is so much fun, I've bookmmarked it for another come back.
ReplyDeleteI love your work. Your quilts are exceptional and your colour choices are second to none!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance :)

ReplyDeleteCold up in Northern Alberta. You do great work Cathy!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm a new follower
ReplyDeleteLove your quilts. It's 3 degrees here today, but bright and sunny. I think the cold will make my decision between quilting and heading outside.
ReplyDeleteIt is cool and cloudy here in southern Alberta. I live near Medicine Hat where there is mostly prairie.We have a little snow left, but they are saying more to come next week. I am a new follower. Its so great to find such great quilters in Canada. Love all your quilts and the beautiful colors that you use. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteI have fabric storage towers similar to yours which I amassed over the past 15 years. Each cubby is the footprint of a fat quarter. I have been searching in vain for well over a year for additional shelving similar to yours or mine. Did you purchase your units? If so, would you let me know where in Canada or the U.S. you came across them? I crave an empty surface
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Anita
Lovely fabric :) It's sunny and 4 degrees in Newfoundland today.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower.

ReplyDeleteI'm also a new follower. Not sure what happened to my last post. But wanted to say I love stars too and have a few quilts with them in, but I definitely need more.

ReplyDeleteHi Cathy! That green/purple hst quilt is TO DIE FOR - as is your Great Wall of Fabric! Who wouldn't want to win something of Anna Maria's??? The weather here in the beautiful BC interior is "socked in" and wet. No snow yet though :) Have a great day! Great to see a new quilting friend's blog "Grace and Favour" is on your list! (Think I figured out the no-reply blogger thing!)
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy,
ReplyDeleteSusan Being Snippy sent me over here. I am a former secretary in an elementary school. I am not far from you and so the weather is the pretty much the same as yours - rainy and windy.
richjo@telus.net

ReplyDeleteThank you for this chance
ooops I am a follower also,
ReplyDeleteCheers Ann
I love your blog and all the quilts you share. I'm like you, I rarely use fabric from just one collection. Your stash of fabric looks fabulous by the way!! It is a beautiful sunny fall day in Kingston, Ontario. Thanks for sharing with us today!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower!!
ReplyDeleteI am in Kentucky where it was frosty when I woke up, but is warming up a bit. I love your Scrappy Stash quilt! I did that QAL too and also hardly noticed a dent in my pile of scraps. But it was fun to make and I love the quilt I made, so it's all good.
ReplyDeleteI'm in Idaho and today the weather is gloomy, windy and a bit chilly. Perfect day for some quilting :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower :)
ReplyDeleteI am from Ontario where is was frosty this am but just came back from shopping (found some fabric bargains at Value Village -or Canadian Thrift store. :-)The weather is now beautiful and perfect for a walk but I am working on a project that has to be ready for Thursday so....................

ReplyDeleteThanks for linking my blog, I hope that I will become as skilled as you are someday :)
Salutations from frozen and snowy northern BC, I look forward to your future projects!
I am happy to be a new follower! awolk at rogers dot com
ReplyDeleteI see all the colour holes in my fabric stash as I look at your fabric wall! lol Your quilts are stunning. I live near Halifax, NS and today is a sunny 6 degrees. My parents had a choice to move here or to BC with my brother...they chose BC because of the maritime weather. It has become a bit of a joke between us as they always seem to have lots of snow or are way too hot in the summer...while we spend most of the winter in our heavy fall jackets with little snow (I have probably cursed myself now and we will get dumped on this winter)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the links. At present here in Toronto, it is 10 degrees C or 50 in Fahrenheit. Thanks for the chance to win some fabric. I am in dire need of some new yardage.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunny day here in Toronto - I biked my kids to school today! That wall of fabric is awesome... So inspiring when it's all piled up like that. I love the amount of bright colour you use in your quilts!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome giveaway. Crossing my fingers!
Oh, and I just became an email follower.
ReplyDeleteIt’s a beautiful crisp day here in Moncton, NB! The sun has been shining all day though it was chilly this morning when I went for a walk on the country roads near my home.

I,m crushing on Madrona Road now, too. It was sunny and nice enough for a nice loop around the parking lot at lunch too.
ReplyDeleteInnocent Crush is one of my favorite lines. Thanks for the chance! And I can't imagine how you can ever have time to sew being a school principal. That is a tough and time-consuming job!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I'm in Kamloops, so today it is raining lightly and cool (8C) Thanks for posting links to some more BC Blogs!
ReplyDeleteThe bright colours of your "stash" and that you use in your quilts are delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was sunny today in Toronto, although I didn't spend much time outside. I was lucky enough to be taking a class with Esteria Austin today, learning all about using sheers in our quilting.
That last comment about the bright colours was from me "Judy M", but blogger isn't recognizing my wordpress id, google id. Hopefully it will recognize an OpenID!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is sunny and in the 50s today here in Ohio. Wonderful weather to finish raking the leaves. Thanks for the chance to win beautiful fabric.
ReplyDeleteWe had a nice sunny day here! I love your wall of fabric! Thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWe had a windy day here in Southern Alberta. It gusted up to about 80km or so, but it was a nice, balmy 10C as a result. Nice and warm for us!

I'm from BC (born in Abbotsford, or Matsqui as it was then), temporarily in Edmonton, AB. Weather here today is grey and somewhat foggy, which makes me homesick for the Best Coast!

Hi I'm Jenny from Adelaide South Australia, and I love your fabric shelves!!! how awesome to have a handy husband!!! I have just got into quilting and fabric after just starting to squeeze in some time as my five little boys get just that little bit older and easier to manage!
ReplyDeleteThe weather here today is quite interesting. The forecast is for a hot windy 37 deg celsius ( thats about 98, or 99 F) with an extreme fire danger rating. I have just got back from dropping mr 4 1/2 at kindergarten, where they are filling buckets in preparation as they are required to do. Apparently if the power goes out, the water will last about 10 minutes as we are up in the hills! Needless to say I filled my buckets up as soon as we got home!! Have a great day!

What a great fabric stash :D
ReplyDeleteI'm in Calgary and while it's been (I think? I was at work from 5:45 AM till a couple hours ago) a pretty decent day, it's suddenly gotten rather dark and dreary and it looks like it's probably really cold. I'm not going to go outside to find out, though.

Lovely fabric. Here on the other side of the world to you in New Zealand it's been a sunny day but now is getting overcast.

Thank you for sharing your lovely quilts. We are heading into Summer and today is perfect - sunny, blue sky and a gentle breeze. Love this time of year!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful, I love the colours you pick.
ReplyDeleteLove that wall of fabric! And your Scrappy Stash quilt is amazing! Weather here in VA is a chilly 50 but a sunny day. The rest of the week looks to be the same. I'd love to be included in your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy: Love your blog and of course would love to win the bundle! On Vancouver Island we are waiting for 80 kph winds tonight - hoping for no loss of power, as I am working tomorrow morning dispatching replacements for our school board. Hard to do when the phones don't work!
ReplyDeleteI have been a follower for some time!
ReplyDeleteYour fabric stash is amazing, and your quilts are beautiful. I live in indonesia so it is hot and sunny just about every day! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower (by email). Thanks - wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteIt was kind of chilly here today, but then, after being a bit further south, I guess it may just feel that way to me. It eventually made it into the 60s (F), but it was cloudy most of the day, with a nippy little breeze. Thanks for hosting the giveaway! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a little cold here lately - we got a big snowstorm last week, but now things are warming up a bit and all the snow is gone!
ReplyDeleteLove your wall of fabric! Had to show my hubby the shelves and he thought they were awesome too! :) Love all your quilts, especially the lime & purple one! I'm north of you in Prince George and it was nice this morning and the sun was shining. This evening it is cold and snowing. Thanks for a chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your quilting shelves. It was a fairly nice day today. Tomorrow the temperature will drop rapidly so we savored today's sunshine.
ReplyDeleteToday was sunny and warm during the day but super chilly this morning. Of course I live in Texas so my chilly is probably nothing compared to Canada!
ReplyDeletesara_stetson at yahoo.com
it's getting nippy in Toronto, just a few degrees above freezing today. I am in love with your stash, I could die of stash-envy, it's sooooo amazing. Thank you for embracing colour, I'm wildly in love with color too, and have yet to make a serene quilt. Thanks to Sew Sisters for bring Canadian bloggers together, thanks to you for this chance to win ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post! It was 73 F today. Perfect weather! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful quilts you made! and that Wall of Fabric, oh gosh, I'd love to come and play at your house, hehe. I'm in northern California and today was overcast and 66. I'm loving this cooler weather. 100 degree weather is over-rated.

Thanks for showing your quilts and your stash. Very interesting. I'll check out some of the other blogs as well.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a fairly steady downpour all day with very dark grey low-hanging clouds. But at least the gale force winds have stopped. All in all, a perfect day for quilting. Thanks for the amazing giveaway opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt has been raining off and on all day. It poured during lunch but then stopped long enough for me to walk into the grocery store- and pouring again when I ran out with my eggs and smoked turkey! Thanks for such a great giveaway and for sharing more about your quilting. Your house is really starting to look like a fabric store!
ReplyDeletePS It is 25 degrees in Honolulu- I wish it were December 6 so I could be there instead of in the BC rain!
ReplyDeleteWe have had terrible weather today here in rural South Australia. It's been 34 degrees C and a roaring northerly wind. This means it is rated a catastrophic fire danger risk day and some schools close and school buses do not run.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog too! Cheers, Sarah
ReplyDeleteI was suggested this web site by way of my cousin. I'm now not positive whether this publish is written by him as nobody else recognise such distinctive about my problem.You are wonderful! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely range of quilts you chose to show today! I recognize some, but I have missed others. I love your color sense! Today in middle Sweden it is just under freezing, grey, and the sun will go down at 2 pm by the look of things. I am trying to squeeze out any discernable color form the sky-- and today we have nordic pink and blue!

ReplyDeleteWe had a taste of summer today! But I am not sure you will send 6 yards of AMH to Australia!?
ReplyDeleteFabric looks lovely! The weather here is RAINY...but I do so love my west coast, so I cannot complain about the rain.
ReplyDeleteI am also a follower!
ReplyDeleteIt was a gorgeous day in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia yesterday and promises to be the same for the next 5 days. We're headed for a high of 9C today! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the chance to win!
It was a beautiful day here in Quebec . I live across the River from Montreal (South Shore).I sooo envy your shelving. I have fabric in a dresser , steel shelves, wooden bookshelves,under my cutting table and on shelves across the wall.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilts, especially liked the scrappy star! I live near Digby, NS and our weather has been chilly the past couple of days. Very frosty mornings with lots of sunshine throughout the day!
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are beautiful, I'm in love with the rainbow scrappy one! I'm in Nottingham, England and, quite predictably, it's grey and rainy today!
ReplyDeleteI also live in the UK, in the north and guess what? It's dull, grey, showery and windy. Bit like the summer we've just had really!
ReplyDeleteI live in Central NY and we are supposed to be pretty nice today - Sunny and low 50's. love your site so far. I too like Elizabeth Hartman and thought your colorful star quilt may be from her site. I love the purple and green quilt. I can't wait to check out more, but have to go to work :( Work - it always gets in the way of fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm a Janome 7700 quilter too--aren't they thebest?!
ReplyDeleteWe are mild but mizzly (misty drizzle) so it is grey grey grey!!! Fab blog - I'm a new follower :) amycav at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteI started following your blog about 6 months ago -- I consider myself color challenged and I find your use of colors to be inspiring. Thank you for doing the blog! Last week I bought a Janome 7700 and absolutely love it! Haven't done any FMQ on it but hopefully soon. Live in NE Wisconsin...sometimes people have asked over the phone if I'm from Canada...close but not quite! Overcast today and high is suppose to be 51F -- warm for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be 60F and sunny down here in South Carolina today.
ReplyDeleteWell, here in Portugal is really windy today. I wish I had one of those quilts to cover up.. the purple and yellow is lovely.

ReplyDeleteLove your wall of fabric, it looks like a store display!
ReplyDeleteWe are deeply into Spring right now in the Southern Hemisphere, thankfully. The days are longer and warmer, all the flowers are in blossom, mostly, and the roadsides look beautiful with a colourful patchwork of wild flowers (and weeds!). So another sunny warm day in the low 20s C for us today.
