Block 2, Beach and Block 3, Loon (available at 3 Gals and a Quilt Shop in Huntsville) I spent a few years just outside of Huntsville at good old Camp Tawingo. Many fond memories! Tawingo introduced me to the great outdoors at the ripe old age of 8 years old. We had “tame” wildlife at […]
Block 1, Muskoka Chairs (available at Thimbles&Things in Orillia) What more says “Muskoka” than a pair of Muskoka chairs watching a sunset?

Also got to meet some Row by Row shop hoppers from across the border. I am always so excited to see what happens when people […]
After a fun-filled, busy few days it was time to head back home. I had planned a few stops on the way and met some great new people at The Muskoka Quilting Company in Bracebridge ON and 3 Gals and a Quilt Shop in Huntsville ON. I even ran into Laurie from Northcott at the […]
I finally have a chance to sit down and breathe after a few whirlwind weeks.

Her shop is a gorgeous, buzzing place filled with lovely quilts, lots of fabric and notions, super […]
