Off to the Yukon!

We're so happy to be visiting the Yukon today on Blogathon Canada. We were only able to find a few Yukon bloggers but they are great! If you are a quilting blogger in the Yukon please leave a comment on the host bloggers blog posts so we can all connect.

Janet our host blogger has lived in the Yukon for 35 years. Janet is a quilter and enjoys being part of the online quilting community. She participates in swaps and online quilting bees and challenges and has found much inspiration and encouragement from the quilting bloggers. Janet is giving away the Mighty Moose Table  Runner Kit along with a metre of fabric from the Stonehenge Oh Canada Line. Go here to visit Janet at Caribou Crossing Chronicles.

Vivian blogs at Quilting under the Midnight Sun. Vivian loves to quilt and cross-stitch so she often combines stitchery in her work. You must check out her recent Christmas ornaments. Her quilts are full of color and she loves browns, golds and oranges and is giving away a fat quarter bundle of Bali Handpaints in the same colors. So head on over and meet our second host blogger from the Yukon. Go here: Quilting Under the Midnight Sun. 

Giveaways are still open on the other blogs so head back and enter.

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.

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!
