About Lorna

I’d like to say I am retired because it has a special ring to it. Life of leisure – time on your hands – Palm trees… I am retired from teaching high school, selling real estate and being a school board trustee but I am definitely not retired from all things fabric, thread and yarn. I live in Niagara Canada.

I am thrilled to see the resurgence in the interest in sewing, quilting and DIY projects. I started designing patterns on a request from Modern Bee for their 2015 Row by Row pattern.  Since that I time I added more patterns and created an online course for those new to hand quilting. You can find my patterns and class in my  shop .

I am a founding member of the Niagara Modern Quilt Guild pleased to have served as President and media guru soaking up all the knowledge and skills of some very interesting quilters. 

Gramma to Mavis, Leo, Kees, Alec, Owen, Wil and Luke. Mom to Andrea, Carlo, Lelia and Irene. Wife to Giancarlo whose spirit is always with me. Just not here to take care of life’s little mysteries.
