Meet Your Neibour
Meet Lori Dewart, quilter from Kamloops!
Lori was born in Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster,BC. She has lived throughout BC but settled in Golden as an adult. She married there and raised her 2 children.
Lori worked at a fabric shop in Golden before her career with the Provincial Government.
She started quilting about 4 years ago after inspiration from her sister and a co-worker. Lori took to it like a duck to water.
Lori loves all aspects of quilting but has a special love of the long arm process. Her other deep love in quilting is collecting as many quilting items as possible....fabric, notions, patterns.....she is not particular! LOL
Thank you to Lori for being such a fun person and bringing smiles to everyone you meet!

Mary Jane was in on Tuesday to long arm quilt this awesome quilt! The pattern is one that I taught at the shop as a stash buster. She still has some fabrics left over ......another stash class needed?
Mary Jane is gaining confidence on the machine every time she uses it and the results are so cool to see. She has gone from simple stippling to all sorts of pantos!
Love this one Mary Jane and thank you for sharing.
