Welcome to my stop for Blogathon Canada - Edmonton, Alberta. My internet friend Kelsey from Everyday Fray is hosting from Calgary, Alberta and you will want to check her post out too.
First I get to tell you a bit about me. I have been sewing, knitting, embroidering and crocheting since I was about 5 years old, taught by my super talented Grandmother. I put off quilting for years as it is not very portable but one very rainy March break holiday in 2010 I gave in and made my first quilt with the design help of my kids. A year later I began this blog and the rest is history.
I enjoy learning about all kinds of quilting techniques but over the years it has become clear to me that I most love modern quilting. I mostly design my own quilt patterns now, but not always For example, the pattern of the quilt pictured above is by my friend Krista, who blogs at Poppyprint and lives in Vancouver.
I did not actually meet Krista in person in Canada, instead we had to both head over to London, England to actually meet up. We attended the Fat Quarterly Retreat - I've been twice - where I have had the pleasure of meeting many quilters from the UK who I had previously met online.
I especially love the quilting part of quilting, so much so that I purchased a beautiful Millennium APQS Long Arm Quilting Machine in February 2013. I have been having the best time learning to quilt with it.
I am a member of the Edmonton Modern Quilt Guild and I attended the Modern Quilt Guild's first QuiltCon and I'll be at QuiltCon again in February next year. Besides QuiltCon and the Fat Quarterly Retreat, I have been able to meet quilters at Sewdown Nashville, Pittsburg Quilt Market and the Grand Rapids AQS Show. I have also entered some of my quilts in Quilt Shows and have even won some ribbons.
Feel free to check out my blog - starting with the My Quilts tab at the top is an easy way to get to know me a bit better. Even more important, Blogathon Canada is a chance for you to get to know more Canadian blogs. The Alberta bloggers that I get to introduce you to are:

1 – 200 of 298 Newer› Newest»I am in NC. I love the quilts. The giveaway fabric is just my color, blues. I have been to Toronto and Montreal. I loved both cities but I admit I'm a wimp, 30 years of Chicago and Milwaukee and I headed South. I don't like the cold.
I'm in North Texas. I was once briefly in Vancouver to board a ship for an Alaskan cruise. I would dearly love to see more of Canada!! I love the cold weather!! Tilleybl@aol.com
I'm in New Zealand and have never been to Canada. It's on my bucket list though. My cousin actually married a Canadian girl many years ago and I have been promising to visit him like forever!! His tales of winter put me off though!
I'm very impressed with your bold, exciting, COLORFUL quilts! Your quilting is fabulous, too.
I live in Sun Lakes, AZ (just South of Phoenix). So far, I've only visited Vancouver, BC. I loved it and the people of Vancouver who were so gracious and friendly to a couple of tourists. If you're ever there, a visit to Butchart Gardens is a must!
You probably know I live in Melbourne Australia, but it may be news that I visited Canada back in 1980! I went to places such as Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and Montreal! It was April and I remember being very cold at times, but I loved it all the same!
I live in Missouri, USA. I have been to Toronto twice and to Windsor twice. I loved Toronto and its museums. Toronto is like a mini UN with its ethnic diversity. I loved it.

I live in Scotland. We travelled with the kids and my MIL to Vancouver, Vancouver Island and did a road trip up into the Rockies - Lake Louise, Athabasca Glacier, etc. We loved our brief glimpse of Canada so much we were tempted to emigrate! I share Kathleen D's opinion of Butchart Gardens - they are beautiful.
I live on New Zealand's South Island and I love it here. I've been to Canada twice. The first time was a round trip of Vancouver, the Rockies and Vancouver Island. The second time was to spend Christmas with some Pseudo-family in Vancouver. Its a beautiful country and I'd love to go back again one of these days...
Greetings from Cape Breton! I've never been to your little corner of the world, yet. I hope to travel out that way some day. Your work is amazing. You must spend hours machine quilting those beautiful pieces!!
Love the FMQ on your gray with blues quilt! It is just beautiful :) I currently live in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. I've lived in Cape Breton and Halifax. I lived in Edmonton, AB for a year and I did like it there. Met lots of great people who I keep in contact with. I came back home because I missed family and the ocean. Thanks for a chance at a great prize! Love that bundle!
I live in Indonesia and I have never been to Canada, but I would love to!
I live in the province of Québec, near Montréal. I visited New Brunswick many times, Prince Edward Island once (I'll go back one day), and Ontario a few times (mostly Ottawa). One day, I may go further west...
I love your pillows! You mix colors beautifully.
Great quilts, spectacular quilting!
Good morning. I am from Nova Scotia and have visited many areas in Alberta . I lived in Edmonton for a while while attending U of Alberta there. Lovely provience.
Your quilting is beautiful ! I am from the USA ! :)
Just lovely Leanne!! I soooooo enjoy seeing what you quilt on a project. I love this latest one.,..the one involved...it looks fantastic!!
Wow, sew many ideas and suggestions with the blog a thon.
Thanks for sharing your lovely quilts. I live in North Carolina, USA. I'm an Army brat & we were stationed in Alaska in the early 60s. We flew up there but my Dad decided to drive back to the States, so we took the ALCAN highway & drove down through Canada. I remember visiting Lake Louise. Thanks for the chance to win.
I loe your modern quilts and quilting! I live in southern Finland, have never been in Canada, not even on the continent :) The closest I've come is reading Lucy M. Montgomery's book series of Anne of Greengables that is locaten on Price Edward's Island if I remember correctly.
I do live in Alberta - in Calgary - and have been here for about 7 years. (I think Saskatchewan is still home though; I still feel like a tourist here.) I blog infrequently at Work-in-Progress Girl.

Hi there! I am originally from Quebec but I have called Nova Scotia home for almost 20 years. Technically, I have been to Alberta... that is if you count a stopover at the Calgary airport on one of my two trips to BC. I blog at www.runningthimble.blogspot.ca. I love your quilts, and especially the quilting. Just stunning! Especially the last one pictured on this post. Wow.
I live in Ontario, 1 hour 30 mins from Toronto, and yes I have been to Calgary and Edmonton, loved both places, your quilting is beautiful,and that doe collection is to die for, just love those colors, there yummy!
Hello from Fredericton NB! I've been to Alberta a few times including this past summer! Love all your quilts!
Hi Leanne! Love your work! I LOVE Canada, too. A US citizen, I live in Massachusetts. Lived in Nova Scotia for 2 years a while back! Have visited many Canadian cities. Love all! Took trans Canada train all the way east to west 27 years ago! Canadians rock! (Thanks for the giveaway, too!)
I love reading your blog and seeing your gorgeous work! I live in Kentucky and have visited Canada several times, but not Alberta.
I'm from Germany - I have never been to Canada .. I did manage to set foot on the Amercian continent, but didn't stray far from Montevideo which is actually further away from Canada than my hometown ...
Hi Leanne, Colleen here. I grew up in Edmonton then moved to Ontario to attend art college, back to Alberta but Calgary that time then finally to Saskatchewan. I have traveled all over this wonderful country of ours except to the far north. I hope to visit my brother-in-law there someday. I would love to win me some Doe !
Wow! You do such fabulous work! I live in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, but my daughter lives in Calgary, so I do get out there occasionally! I have a blog called The Cuddle Quilter and am participating in the hop, meeting lots of new blogging friends. Thanks for the chance to win that gorgeous fabric!
Yes, to Alberta and most of your provinces! I spent my first 21 summers in Kingsville, Ont. I do hope your visit to Grand Rapids was pleasant, my hometown. Modern quilters in GR are establishing a modern guild for which I write the blog: GRMQG.blogspot.com. I love the fabrics shown, so spring like- we just were blessed with 18" of snow in 36 hours, not quite Buffalo, but enough to make great seeing days.
Your creations are gorgeous!! I live in a small community north of Lake Superior (Ontario). We travelled out west several years ago on a summer holiday to visit Banff, Jasper, etc etc. I had never seen mountains before so it was amazing!! I want to go back.
It has been a long time since I was in Alberta but I have been to Canada several times and love the Jasper area and and the National parks - my grandparents (3 of them ) were all born in Quebec and my ancestry is Canadian French. Most of my family including myself live in Arkansas now way down south from you but we all lived in Wisconsin for a long time before moving here back in the 1970's
I have been to Winnipeg Canada. My Grandmother's brother moved to Canada in the 1920's. I live in Wisconsin. I think this fabric is so pretty. Thank you for the chance to win. Matsche.christine@yahoo.com

Used to live in Alberta, still miss it! Love your quilts.
I live in New Hampshire, USA and I have been to Alma NB where a friend of ours has a home. It was always a good time! coudre@dmdrafting.com

I live in Germany and have been to Alberta and British Columbia in 2008 - and loved it even though there was more snow in the Rockies in July than I expected.
I blog at http://serendipita.org/ but don't write about sewing or quilting much. I don't have time to sew a lot, but love it. My (now deceased) grandma gave me her treadle machine a few years ago, and I've sewn all my quilts on it. I don't think I would know how to use an electric sewing machine!
By the way, I love your quilts that feature circles in different colors and matchstick quilting. Thanks for the giveaway!
I am from Florida and sadly have not been to Canada. Canada was on our list when I retired and we RVd but sadly my husband died 6 months before I retired and I can't afford to travel.

Your quilting always amazes me. The close lines add so much texture. I'm from Victoria, BC, and we drive out to Alberta every year to see my husband's family in the Red Deer area. We have family in Edmonton, too and have been there. Can't miss the big mall!
WOW, love those fabrics :) I've been across Canada, my oldest daughter lives in Calgary, I lived in Manitoba for 27 yrs and moved back to our home province of Ontario, we have a Beautiful Canada and thank you

I love your quilts and am amazed that you travel all the way to England for a retreat.

I've spent a great deal of time in Canada, it's just a quick bridge or tunnel trip from Michigan into Ontario for me. I was very fortunate about ten years ago to see Christopher Plummer (Captain von Trapp from 'The Sound of Music') perform as King Lear during the Shakespeare in Stratford, Ontario. Other than Ontario I have visited Quebec and New Brunswick.
Absolutely love this fat quarter package, now if I don't win I will have to order it.

It's nice to meet you!
Hi from chilly Toronto! I've spent some time in the gorgeous Ontario cottage country as well as other places in Ontario like Niagara-on-the-Lake and a bit of time in Quebec.
Hello from Virginia, USA. I have never even been to Canada. Not that I have not wanted to visit but have never been able to do so. We are having a bit of a cold spell with temperature of only 40 degrees today and it was in the teens last night. That's unusual for us at this time of the year. Thanks for the opportunity to enter the giveaway. (shirparks@gmail.com)
Just seeing these quilts again makes me happy! Thanks for sharing your talent with us, Leanne. I've been drooling over Doe since I first spotted it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Cheers from Saskatoon!
Your quilting is beautiful. I've been to Alberta and have online pals from there AND we have also met in person. I'm in BC on the Wet Coast.
I live in Toronto, ontario, and I don't blog.
I like in Massachusetts, and I dream of visiting Canada some day, but I have never been there. However, on my father's side my heritage is Canadian, just back a few generations.
I am from Waterloo. We were in Alberta many years ago over Canada Day near Banff. I went to the resort gift shop in the morning and bought myself a pair of mittens. Good thing I had been to the Edmonton mall a few days earlier and bought some new pants. I did have to put socks on with my sandles.
Leanne,
Yes, I've visited Kingston, Ontario on a not too cold November day and spent a good part of it walking the Lake. Your quilts are stunning...I love bright and warm colors to I'm in awe! Thank you so much for sharing. All my best from Hampton, Virginia USA.
Thank you for the giveaway. Your quilts are amazing. Love the colors. I am from N.E. Georgia, but I have never visited Canada.I would really love to do some traveling and visit there some day.
Great fabric have been to Toronto, Ontario, Victoria and Vancouver.
I live in Ohio. We got to go to Toronto,bout 14 years ago now, to see Phantom of the Opera!! AWESOME!!!
Nice fabric, I live in Sherwood Park, Alberta and have been to BC, Sask, Manitoba and Ontario.
Thanks for taking part in this great cross Canada even. I live in Toronto and Sew Sisters is my store of choice. I have travelled all across Canada except for Newfoundland . Your quilts are terrific.
I live in PEI now, but I have lived in NB, MB, BC, NS, and AB (Calgary, High River, Hinton, Grand Cache). I'm pretty sure we are finished with the cross-country living, we plan to stay in PEI!
Hi! I am from Sydney, Australia and I have never been to Canada but I hope to one day, it looks beautiful!
Lovely work :) I'm from Saskatchewan. To make it easier I have never been to the Territories, Quebec or Manitoba. Every other province yes :0
Your quilts are spectacular!!! I'm visiting from Parma, OH...just south of Cleveland...in the USA. I've been to Canada a few times when I was young...I remember Niagara Falls & Ontario, where my Mom had a childhood friend.
Howdy, Neighbor! I'm from Idaho, but more toward the southern end of the state. We stayed in Calgary one year on our way to Banff National Park - couldn't get over that it was still light outside at midnight - try telling kids they need to go to sleep then, lol. Love your work!
Fabulous quilts and love your fabric combo.I haven´t been in your country but I`d love ,perhaphs one day will be possible.I`m from Spain.Thanks for the fun!
Great to find your blog! I am currently living in New Brunswick although I have lived in all the Atlantic provinces, growing up on PEI and having my kids in Goose Bay, Labrador (technically a part of Newfoundland though the Labradorians feel they should be a province in their own right!). I lived in Toronto and have travelled extensively through Ontario and Quebec. My hubby and I have a plan to fly to BC, buy a car and take our time camping and hiking across Canada.
I live on my boat, and currently we are in a boatyard in Deltaville, VA on Chesapeake Bay. I've heard wonderful things about boating in Canada! So far, I've only visiting Vancouver, BC and it was lovely. My niece and nephew live there now, and their photos of the mountains are drool-worthy.
Your quilts are gorgeous! I admire your quilting skills! I live in Pennsylvania and I was to Quebec in the early 70's. Beautiful country!
I've lived in Alberta all my life and am so happy to find so many Canadian & Alberta blogs to follow through this blog hop. Thanks
I'm in MN, and even though w are very lose neighbors, I've only been to Canada once on a camping trip.
I live in North Carolina at present. Many years ago I visited Banff. It is so beautiful.
San Jose, CA. And I read your blog Canadian, or no (:
Pretty fabrics! Loved virtually visiting the quilters featured here!
HI, I am from Lindsay, ON and have been to Alberta several times most recently last summer for the Stampede and a visit with friends at Smoky Lake (know where that is) Love your blog and your give away.
I'm from Ontario and have also visited Quebec.
I live in Surrey, BC, just outside of Vancouver. I've been as far east as Saskatchewan. Travelling across Canada to Newfoundland is on my bucket list.

I live in San Diego, CA right now. I have never been to Canada but I really want to go to Bamff.
I'm from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. I have been to Edmonton once for a Girl Guide event. Love your pillows. Thanks for the giveaway.
What lovely quilts you make-and I especially like your pillows. My husband and I lived in Lethbridge for 4 years, and had our first daughter there. We now live in NS, moved back almost 13 years ago, but still visit AB now and then.
I live in Arkansas a long way from Canada. I have always wanted to visit there but it has not happened yet
I'm from USA. No, I have never had the pleasure to visit your lovely city. I love your work. http://aquiltersmission.blogspot.com
Hello from New Westminster BC. I've been to both Edmonton and Calgary, but that was many years ago.
i'm from Surrey BC, i enjoy the Canadian bloghops for finding new blogs, but i've been following you for quite awhile. Never been to Edmonton, but i have been to Calgary, too flat i have no sense of direction there, i'm always getting turned around though that was 20 years ago at least. hahaha
Hi Leanne - nice to get to know a fellow quilter. I love your choice of colours in your quilts and especially like your quilt designed by your friend in Vancouver. I am from Calgary. My blog is http://lovinquiltin.blogspot.ca/
I live in Virginia and I've been to Montreal, Quebec, Vancouver, and Campbello Island. Your quilts and quilting are lovely.

I live in Mississauga, Ontario but not a blogger as of yet. Love your work! awolk at rogers dot com
I am visiting from Dubuque, Iowa! Dubuque is Iowa's oldest city and is located right on the Mississippi River. I have visited Canada twice. the first time was to Ontario and we also went to Niagara Falls. the second time we were on an Alaskan cruise and stopped in British Columbia. Beautiful country!
I live in rural upstate NY, near Oneonta (if you're looking at the map). It's a pretty place to live, but not much "going on" and I like it that way. I can get all the action I crave by taking a short drive to a few major big cities, should I have the hankering to get it. :) Thanks for opening the giveaway to everyone.
I live in Houston, Texas. I've been to Calgary twice- once in the winter for business, and once in the summer to visit a friend. Just lovely! Hope to visit again someday!
Wow, these quilts are incredible! I'm from Australia but I have lived in VA, USA for 9 years now. I have been to Niagara Falls (Canadian side of course!), Toronto, and Montreal.
I am in IL and I have gone through Can to get to NY, I have no idea why my mom took that route. I didn't see anything. :( My husband and I hope to move to Can someday. We love the cold and the snow.
Thanks for hosting the Alberta stop on the Blogathon and for linking to my site! :) (http://ecoslo.tumblr.com) I live here in Edmonton! LOVE the Doe collection, will need to get some soon!
I am from New Zealand and have never been to Canada although it is on my must visit list.
I am from Indiana. I haven't had the chance to visit anywhere in Canada yet. I would love to visit, but 3 year old twins make it a little difficult to travel.
Your quilts are gorgeous! Love the modern look. I lived in Edmonton for several years, looking forward to visiting the Alberta blogs.
