Edmonton Folk Fest


This was my first time at Edmonton Folk Festival, I know its hard to believe. I have now lived in Edmonton for 10 years and this is my music. Why I have not gone before I don't know, but it will now be an annual event that I will not miss. I love folk festivals!

Summer Project #2

Summer Project #2 was a picnic blanket, and I had it finished just in time for us to use at folk fest. I have wanted to try to make a quilt for some time now so I decided to make one and use it as a picnic blanket. After a bit of trial and error here is my first attempt at quilting...

Summer Project #1

With a little spare time on my hands this summer I decided to tackle a few projects. The first one was to fix the ceiling in my bathroom and change the colour to something a little more warming. So after a few days of patching, sanding and painting here are the before and after pictures.
