Photography is not my only passion.  I have been quilting for over 30 years and I have taught the traditional hand piece, appliqué and hand quilting for over 20 years.  In 2001, I started a group called "Mothers for Others" and the aim was to teach a group of moms how to quilt.  The deal was, if I taught them to quilt, they would make one extra quilt for me to give to the children's hospital in our city.  14 years later, we have donated an average of 100 quilts each year to the Montreal Children's Paediatric and Neonatal ICUs!!!!   

Quilting and photography have many similarities, they both use colour, highlights and shadow effects.  There can be symmetry, lead lines, rule of thirds and focal points. They can tell a story, be pleasing to the eye, calming or bold and exciting.  Both are an art form, they just use different mediums.
