Meet Your Neighbour
This week I would like to introduce you to Moonir Bharmal, one of our favourite sales reps.
Moonir was born in Tanzania and grew up there. He immigrated to Canada in 1975. He met his wife here and they settled at the coast to raise their children.
In 1986 Moonir started with Northcott fabrics and has been with them ever since. He later joined Checker Distributors. Moonir has been a great rep to have as he has helped me learn the business from the ground up. He knows his customers and always is ready to help in any way he can.
Thank You to Moonir for all your help over the years, the generosity in sharing your knowledge and always bringing your A game to our meetings. You are an amazing rep and an even more amazing person!

Judy Nichols
Judy Nichols was in to show us her amazing Scrappy Stars quilt.
Judy prefers scrappy quilts and has made some incredible projects over the years. For this one, she gathered her fabrics and chose her patterns from a star block pattern book. The rest is all her own imagination and talent.
Thank you Judy for the ideas and the encouragement to keep on quilting.

Laura Campsall
Laura Campsall is a new quilter and can you believe she made this Hummingbird applique quilt as her second project using applique? Laura, you must have nerves of steel!
The pattern is a Toni Whitney design and is incredibly intense with a whole ton of little itty bitty pieces. Laura stuck with it and has an amazing art piece to show for her efforts!
Congratulations Laura, you are one amazing woman!

I love the combination of the blues and oranges together. I rarely use them together and when I see this, I think.....Heather you need to do this! In my spare time...LOL
Thank you to Robyn for sharing and inspiring!

Mary Jane Reid was in to long arm quilt this lovely little lap quilt on Tuesday.
Again you will see the oranges and the blues. I am going to take this as a omen of things to come from my stash!
Mary Jane, I love this pattern as it lets the fabric really show! When asked what the quilt was named, she replied "Smug Foxes" because the foxes have that look! LOL
