#3rdstoryworkshop

#oursongquilt:I made the star block, above (with improv curved piecing), to participate in a new project that Andrea from 3rd Story Workshop launched last week. Andrea collaborated with songwriter Meaghan Smith to create the Our Song, Your Reflection project, which celebrates community. See the last photo above for her beautiful lone star swan quilt! 

She asked quilters to make a star block and to share a little about what the quilting community means to them. For me – I started making quilts in 2014, when I had moved far away from family and friends (from Toronto to Edmonton). Finding the quilting community - both online and in real life through guilds - has brought me many friends, inspiration and motivation.  Especially during these years where I’ve had to move across the country (again), new city, new job, new everything - the community has been a constant network of support and encouragement, for sure!

You can pre-order Andrea’s quilt pattern, hear the song and share your story in the music video through this project! Check out 3rd Story Workshop or the Indiegogo campaign for all the details.
