    Blessings to your family in your new home. What a wonderful video on the generous nature of quilters. ❤❤❤ Michelle, I'm excited to see your plans. I've already made two quilts from your tutorials and am perfecting ny FMQ meandering. Right now I am working on 4 Quilts of Valor for my brothers and son. You inspire me.

    The quilting community is absolutely the best! It includes people from all walks of life from many different age groups! They are most generous, welcoming and kind people I know! I’m glad you are able to continue your quilting journey while waiting for your tools and supplies arrive! I love your channel and always look forward to seeing your next adventure!❤

    Hurray a video from Canada! Glad you have such generous friends nearby. Miss seeing your “signature grey quilt” behind you. I bet it will feel great when all your belongings finally arrive in Canada.

      Hi Jean! There are still a few other videos in the queue from Australia, and I've started to work on some new content with my mom, and hopefully the shipment (including the signature quilt!) arrives in August. Lots going on, but it is great to be able to see family and friends. Thanks for watching!

    It’s brilliant to see how inspired you are from the generosity around you.
    I too have to use the kitchen and hardwood floor to cut and share quilts.
    But as quilters we are always able to find a way.
    I love the Canadian Quilts of Valour fabrics.
    Enjoy being back in Canada. X

      Thanks Claire! I started out working on the kitchen table and using the kitchen counters and it has only been recently that I've been lucky to have my own sewing space. But you are right, when necessary, we make do! Thanks for watching and for your ongoing support.

      @bitspiecesquilting  Місяць тому

      Hi Kathleen - I have some ideas for the fabric, and the Quilts of Valour team have some ideas as well, so I'm keen to learn from them. And funny enough, I have some of this fabric in my own personal collection! I bought it as we left Canada for Australia thinking I'd make a quilt that reminded us of home. I haven't used it yet, but just might once the shipment arrives! Thanks for watching.

    I have no one in my off line life who quilts. I did not begin quilting until 2019. My family and professional life did not allow much time for any real hobbies. Luckily you can learn about anything on UA-cam. There is a local group, and I do plan to meet up with them. Time has not permitted so far. My entre into sewing was to make maternity jumpers as there was very little available to professional women at the time. A linen or wool gabardine jumper had a perfect marrying with our bow blouses! We did not wear pants. Oh so long ago!

    • @bitspiecesquilting
      @bitspiecesquilting  Місяць тому

      Hi Leisa - good for you for exploring a hobby all on your own! And I hope you do get a chance to meet us with your local quilt group. It is wonderful to share stories, inspiration and teachings. And I can tell from your comments that you have a lot of expertise to share as well. Thanks for joining this little corner of the quilting universe! I'm glad you're here.

      @bitspiecesquilting  Місяць тому

      Hi Kelley - I'm thrilled to be able to help in even a small way to these efforts. I'll double check, but I think it is just a personal connection rather than a group for the northern and remote communities. Thanks for watching!

      After spending 4.5 years in Australia, we decided to move back to Canada. We arrived about 3 weeks ago, but the shipment will take a little bit longer! Australia was really good to us, but there is no place like home! Thanks for watching.
