Welcome to Friendly Manitoba! I am so excited to be one of today's hosts for Blogathon Canada. Heather over at Peace.Love.Quilt is the other host for today and she will be introducing you to some great bloggers from Saskatchewan so be sure to visit her as well.
My name is Lori and I currently call Dauphin, Manitoba - the City of Sunshine home. I grew up in Winnipeg and since getting married I have spent time out west in Strathmore, Alberta (just east of Calgary) and then way up north in High Level, Alberta, then pretty far north Flin Flon, Manitoba before we landed here in Dauphin.
I wear a few different hats - mom to two lovely girls, wife to a dedicated Mountie, part time office administrator at our local funeral home, long arm quilter, pattern designer and I love it all!
Here at the Night Owl Quilting Blog you will most often see all the lovely quilts I work on for my clients like these. I do love this job! (If you want to see more of any of these quilts just click on the picture and it will take you back to the original post.)

ReplyDeleteHi, I hopped to you from Janet. Love your quilts, the tree is stunning. Your map, what a wonderful way to start, and for me down here, a real Geography lesson, as so much of what I know about your area is what I see on TV, much on the program " Ice Road Truckies" I have lived in New Zealand all my life, 6 homes, a caravan for 8 months, and camped in a tent, under a tarpaulin, or a trailer with a canopy on. Each one has memories. And the giveaway, I love batiks, definitely my favourites, Greetings from Jean in NZ
ReplyDeleteHello from Vancouver! Alas, I'm not eligible to win the batiks, but I just had to say I love your work. The welcome mat with slippers is particularly fun and just plain awesome!

ReplyDeleteYahoo, a great day. Great post, Lori. I love the bundle you picked for your giveaway. I am giddy over the blogs you suggested. A few I follow already and I believe the guild's blog may get a few comments this month. Thanks for including it. As for how many places I have lived, it is 6, all in Manitoba. My childhood was spent in southern Manitoba followed by three homes in more northerly Manitoba. One of which was Duck Bay. Not very northern as far as I am concerned but to other Manitobans I might as well have been living in the Arctic. Strange how north describes a variety different areas in each province. Enjoy your day. Thanks for participating in the Sew Sisters Blog Hop and for offering a fabulous giveaway.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilting! I'd love to win a Fat Quarter Bundle of BATIKS. I've lived in four different places, now living in Calgary, AB.

Hi fellow Canadian and quilter! I have lived in three different houses...all in Ontario. Love your quilts...gorgeous work! Thanks for sharing your love of quilting with all of us! Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteHi! I've lived in Whitby, Ontario for about 20 years now and it's here that I learned to quilt. I'm originally from Laval in Quebec and this is where I learned to sew. I really like your double wedding ring quilt! (The one with no feathers..haha). This is my ultimate quilt and I recently purchased fabric and pattern to make one. Since I will be attempting the quilting myself, I really like the idea of the no feathers...as I haven't mastered them yet. Thanks for the idea and of course, the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteWow such a wonderful array or quilt works, loved strolling through your blog. I have pretty much stayed within the boundaries of BC and the YT to live. Dawson Creek, Fort St John, Wonowon, Sikanni and Ft Nelson i BC....the Yukon , Whitehorse and Hains Junction. Love your work and will be checking out your patterns.
