The last time I posted here was February 16 – one and a half months ago! I haven\u2019t abandoned my blog, but I have been traveling a lot, and when I was at home between trips, I was working [frantically] on quilts to meet deadlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When time is at a premium, it\u2019s so much quicker and easier to post on Instagram and Facebook than writing a blog post.

If you follow me on IG or FB, you may have already seen this information. For those of you who only read my blog, here\u2019s a recap of what I\u2019ve been up to since February 16th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Three week vacation in Panama<\/strong> – in mid-February, my husband and I left the cold snowy weather in the Vancouver BC area to spend 3 weeks with our friends who live in Panama. We spent many happy days relaxing, eating, drinking, talking with our friends. We toured the area where they live near Boquete<\/a>, then the 4 of us spent a few days in Panama City<\/a>. Check out my Panama photos (click on my Instagram feed in the sidebar on the right.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n



Workshops in Toronto<\/strong> – A week after we returned from Panama, I flew to Toronto to teach 2 workshops for the York Heritage Quilters Guild<\/a>. Here’s a photo of some of the quilts I showed at a trunk show, and some of the in-progress pet portraits from one of the workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Braille mini quilt<\/strong> – While we were in Panama, a new Curated Quilts challenge<\/a> was announced. The theme was “Well Said” – quilts with a message. I loved the color palette and wanted to make another Braille quilt. The deadline was March 25. As soon as I got home from Toronto I started working on it, and got it completed just in time for the deadline. I\u2019ve been notified that it will be published in the magazine. It says “Please touch this quilt<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
