It's Day 4 of Blogathon Canada!



Is it Day 4 already? Wow, time flies when you're having fun eh?

Today we're heading to Quebec and Manitoba to meet our host bloggers.

Marika is from Quebec and blogs at Live, Laugh, Love... Sew. Marika began to quilt a few years ago and has already accomplished so much in such a short time. Like her blog title her work is youthful, fresh, modern and fun.

Our host blogger from Manitoba blogs at Church Avenue Quilts. Heather clearly has two great passions - her quilting and her dogs - and you'll find that both have an equal prescence on her blog. Hop on over to meet Heather and check out what her fabric addiction has led to.

Each blogger will also host a giveaway of their favorite goodies from our store so you have a chance to win prizes all week!
 
Kicking of the celebration today is Michele from Quilting Gallery. Michele is a quilter and a web developer and combined her passion and her skill to start Quilting Gallery - a site dedicated to quilters and quilting. The site is a great resource for quilters, offering free projects and tutorials, tips and tricks, videos, guest posts, and even a world wide quilt shop locator!

 A year after she started Quilting Gallery Michele launched the Quilting Bloggers Directory - a way to connect quilting  bloggers from across the globe. The response has been tremendous! In 2008 - the year of the launch - 2800 bloggers from 61 countries joined the directory and now there are over 5500 blogs from 79 countries listed on the Quilting Bloggers Directory!

Be sure to check out Michele's post for Blogathon Canada on the Quilting Gallery Blog and if you have not added your blog to the Quilting Bloggers Directory... we suggest you do! :)
