Welcome to my page! I am so excited to tell you a bit about myself and share with you my passion for quilting.

​

My quilting journey began in my early twenties and I have never looked back since.  I like to blame my mother and my aunts for heavily influencing me to have such a passion for quilting, sewing, knitting and cooking.  I have always been a creative person and usually have several projects on the go at once. 

 

My quilting projects usually consist of many small pieces. I still haven't figured out why but, the more pieces in a block the more I want to make it. I have an obsession with precision piecing too which is often more challenging with smaller pieces.

​

I love learning new techniques and perfecting my skills to create beautiful quilts. Sharing my knowledge to promote the art of quilting with other quilters is so important to me and I hope that you will stop by my blog to see what I am up to!

 

The idea for Skye Thistle Quilts came about one day when I was doodling. There was something telling me that I had to find a name to my dream quilt pattern shop.  Skye is the name of the road my husband grew up on, and Thistle the emblematic Scottish flower to represent the Scottish heritage that is so very prominent in our area. 

​

How did I end up here....

In 2023, I was asked to teach a class at Auntie Em's Scrapbooking and Quilting, a quilt shop located in Cornwall, Ontario. I was SO excited about this opportunity! The planning got my creativity going and it inspired me to design my very first pattern for my first class. It was an amazing first class and well... here I am, happier than a quilter who doesn't need a seam ripper!
