    LOL.. I used to work at Sew Much More back in 2002-2003. Debbie is selling off all her fabrics as she is giving up the quilting part and the Husqvarna and Babylock and sticking with her Tailor work. I did hear that she has a sale on her fabrics right now, something like buy one metre and get 50% off the second. I was out to Piecemakers out in Long Pond this afternoon.. what a beeeeeeeeeeautiful store!!!! She woman used to have her business out in Rocky Harbour, in Gros Morne, but her hubby had to transfer for work into the city so they packed up the business and moved out this way.
    Sewing World is nice too.
    I have a student who sells fabrics out of her home.. She has Thimbleberries, Debbie Mumm and other gorgeous fabrics. I'm sure if you call her you can set up an appointment to meet her and see what she has. She also has nice notions too.. Her name is Mary Browne. Message me privately I will give you her phone number. I can also give you my number and if you got time we could grab a coffee and chat fabrics and quilting!! Where will you be staying here?

    Cheers
    Andrea

    Thanks for the welcome!!
    Nope this is taken over in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of my island province. This area is called The Tablelands. It is believed that when all the continents were one, this area would have once been part of Africa!! The geology is very similar to it. Anyway I love climbing the Tablelands and the hiking out here is unbelievable. The photo was taken back in Oct. when my boyfriend and I look a long weekend getaway to the west coast. WE both loooooove the outdoors, hiking and camping. This photo was taken on one of the hills as we were getting ready to go on a 5 hour hike to the ocean. It was a fantastic hike but we certainly were happy to crash back at the cabin when it was over for the evening!!!! We hope to go camping out that way again some time this summer and try out a few more hikes!

    Cheers
    Andrea

    Hi Andrea, I'm Deb, from Ontario. Your friend certainly steered you in the right direction. this is a great site. Sounds like you could offer lots of neat tips and advice about quilting. I'm not as experienced as you, but I surely love quilting, as well as knitting and hand embroidery, applique too.
    I also love to cook, whenever I have someone at home to enjoy my efforts. Hubby is not a big eater.
    Welcome, I'm sure you will enjoy it here.

    What part of Ontario are you living? I lived in Ottawa for 7 months back in 2005. I was up there on a contract with a property management company.. I just looooooooved Ottawa and miss it terribly!!! They had a couple nice quilt stores up there. Ontario is a nice province!

    my bf is a big eater and enjoys me trying out new recipes on him. I guess he is my little guinea pig!!! lol hee hee... he loves sweets too so I get to try out new desserts all the time too.. He is a keeper! :)
    I am looking forward to many wonderful experiences here on this site and making a yaffle of new friends!

    Cheers!
