I live on the west coast of Canada in British Columbia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was introduced to quilting by a co-worker in 1997.  This co-worker was talking about getting together with some friends to discuss their next quilt project.  They were getting together for tea on a Sunday afternoon and they were all bringing along their patterns to decide what project they would be working on before Christmas.  I was invited to come along.  We decided as a group to make a log cabin quilt.  The four more experienced quilters of the group chose a &#8220;more complex&#8221; tulip variation of the log cabin block.  Because this was my first quilt, I chose to make a more simpler two colour log cabin block.  We got together on a weekend in November 1997 to work from morning to evening to finish our quilt tops.  I caught the quilting bug that weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spring 2005 I bought an APQS long arm and by August I was working at finishing customer quilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same co-worker that introduced me to quilting was also responsible for my introduction to blogs and blogging.  On January 2, 2006, I started this blog to record my quilting journey and those significant &#8220;other&#8221; events in my life as they happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am thankful for all the quilting friends I have met around the world through blogging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can contact me by e-mail at:  silverthimble@shaw.ca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Name is Norma Hanson.
