Day 1 of 31 Days....

 Sounds daunting..

This could be a double edged sword...

You may be unsubscribing yourself by the end of this

OR

you may be mildly entertained and maybe a bit inspired!

If this is your first visit...

My name is Christa Marcotte.

I live in Rural Saskatchewan 

and

 farm with my husband and youngest son.

In between farming, I quilt as much as I can.

To support my addiction,

I have a small business called Second Story Quilting.

I feel every quilt has a second story if you take the time to listen 

and 

hear where the maker was going with their creation. 

We carry Quilters Dream Batting and Westrade  Wide Backs

 as well as 

some other quilty things.

You can check that out Here

I have always been passionate about creating.

Always wanted to be a designer as I chopped up my clothes as a kid and tried to redesign things.

When my first child was born, I decided to make him a quilt.

I bought my first Rotary cutter, mat and ruler 

and

was determined to make a 60 degree star quilt.

I  knew nothing about bias or quilting for that matter.

Didn't even have a pattern!!

This is all that's left of a 35 Year old Star Quilt!

 I told my son to chuck it...but he still has it!


Since that quilt I have tried every thing under the sun

if

it involves fabric!

I have been loving challenges

as

I feel like it gets me out of my comfort zone.

Three times entered in Cherrywood Challenge....

Three times chosen!!

Prince...


Van Gough


Bob Ross


At least, some piece of me is still out there travelling the world 
in
these crazy times!

I have really gotten into collage lately

Animals are my first love!

But I love to try anything!!


Batiks are my favorite to work with!


Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you are inspired to give something new a try!

I'll see if I can keep up to my goal of 31 days!

Hold on tight....

Christa
