Hi everyone, and welcome to Blogathon Canada sponsored by Sew Sisters Quilt Shop.
My name is Patti and I live in Saskatoon,Saskatchewan- aka The City of Bridges!
My quilting adventures began exactly 3 years ago when I took a quilting class at a local quilt shop.
I was truly hooked, and once I discovered all the new modern fabrics and patterns, I haven't stopped !
Here are a few of my favourite projects....
Yes, I love colour!
Also love paper piecing!
and cushions...
and crafty stuff!!
I was so lucky that Who's Your Granny? was a finalist in the hand quilting category of the recent Blogger's Quilt Festival!
I've been blogging for about a year and a half, although after setting up my blog, I didn't post anything for months!
I love the blogging community, and have joined QAL's, swaps, quilting bees, and charity quilting. All things I would never have know about without blogs!
Something fun and new here in Saskatoon is the
Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild
The first meeting was a few weeks ago, and I think it's going to be great!
I actually got to meet some local bloggers!
Are you ready for a giveaway?

Well to be honest the white is the one I use the most so I guess that's my "most bought" but I think the Turquoise is my favourite actual color so far ^^
Thanks a lot for the chance to win! =)
ehh uhmm - I can't really tell you I have never seen a Kona in real ... am I disqualified now?
My favourite colour is green in all shades ...
Hi Patti....I have to say;I love the bright yellow Kona. Great post!!
I like your use of colours -- the combinations are intriguing. I consider myself colour challenged so I appreciate seeing how others combine colours and the effect it has on the quilt. Hmmm, my favorite would be the lime green -- so cheery!
Green has always been my favorite color but I do try to come out of the box and explore other options. thanks for chance to win these lovely shades.
I don't have a favorite color, so choosing a favorite Kona would be impossible. They sure do have many that I love.

At least that's what I keep telling myself, LOL. It's hard to pick just one favourite colour but lately I've been trying to stash up on greys. Thanks so much for a chance at the give-away.

HI Patti,
Lots of great color on your blog- thanks for being a hostess for the Canadian blog athon. I am not a big solids girl but I do love the color purple so I am sure that there is Kona Solids that is deep purple.
There has been lots of terrific blogs to visit over the week- just trying to madly catch up and visit them all.
Regards from Edmonton,
Anna
I'm a new follower, thanks.
For Kona color I like many of them, but I probably buy mostly the cream/tan family. Thanks
Greetings from the Yukon!
I just received my first order of Kona Solids from Sew Sister the other day. It was my first time ever getting solids and I just love staring at them LOL. (they are for a quilt class in December - I can't wait to use them). My favourite right now is Kona Corn Yellow.
I love your blog name! Retired to Quilt sounds heavenly to me. ;-)
Pink is always my favourite.
Your paper piecing is amazing. Makes me want to experiment with more than stars! Thanks for letting us meet you.
I adore Kona solids! My favorite color is black - it goes with everything! Have a super day!
Now that I've discovered your blog, I'm a follower, too! Have a super day!
I am a new follower!
I love all the bright Kona colors.
Aw, this was a really nice post. In idea I would like to put in writing like this additionally – taking time and actual effort to make a very good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means seem to get something done.
