I look forward to seeing your journal pages as they progress. Ann, drop me a line at vickyth @ nf.sympatico.ca (take out the spaces). Micki, Tomme, Jean, Cheri, r.e. and Margaret - thanks! Verna - I was in NB for a few years, but we've moved back home now to NF. Paula - Goose Bay's light is incredibly dramatic, although I can't say I'd like to spend a winter there! Thanks for visiting and come back again! I've been on Quilt Art for..... seven years? Something like that. Lots of good information and people there. Certain topics seem to ccome up regularly and get flogged to death, but the creative and business stuff is really work the read! Lots of great people on that list! Thanks arlee!

Your work is incredible! The colors are delicious. I live in Colorado now, and have for 25 years, but for one year, my senior year of high school while my father was stationed at Goose Air Force Base (the US side), I lived at the "Goose" in Labrador. It is such a beautiful place, beyond compare. The light is unlike anything I've ever seen. The forests pristine, your work gives me the same feelings as when I lived there.
