Renovation Aftermath

I'm still a little out of sync or should I say a lot out of sync, after living through a three month renovation.  One has a way of underestimating how invasive a home renovation can actually be.


Yup....things got a little messy.

Every area of the house seemed to be turned upside down!!!

Then amongst the chaos, I had to put together quilts and samples for an upcoming workshop in the Vancouver area. So last Friday morning, the last detail, of the renovation was finished and that same afternoon we flew to Victoria.


Loading up the quilts


I actually look like I might be organized!!!


Just before flying out, I got the fabulous news, that three of my quilts were accepted into Quilt Canada 2016.....so exciting.


Here is the aftermath of three trunk shows in two days.

Then a sick day.......


Such a lovely view out of our hotel window.


Some free time on Granville Island.

Then a two day workshop over the weekend, here in the Vancouver area and another one, in Victoria next week.

I hope to find some normal after the dust settles........but then normal is probably highly overrated.

  6. I recently discovered your work via Pinterest. I am a big fan of your designs, the quality of your art and your sense of color. I have just completed a "MariQuilts" inspired tote bag using several of the techniques you have shared. Thank you for the tutorials and sharing your "style" and expertise.
