Brandy Lynn Maslowski takes us on her journey to Quilt Canada 2015. Brandy Lynn is a Quilt Teacher, Speaker, Judge and the new host of Canadian Quilt Talk. While she was at the show, Brandy spoke with Conference Co-Ordinator, Kathy Oliver.

It was one Trunk of eight that are travelling in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of SAQA's founding in 1989. Visit the SAQA website under the "Artwork" tab to see the contents and travelling schedule for each Trunk.***

Lenore created this wonderful quilt from photos taken in Brittany, France. She writes, "A class of students was sketching buildings in this old village. I used my fusing/fabric painting technique. Many different fabrics were used, including Northcott Stonehenge prints." The quilt is pieced, appliquéd and quilted all by machine. Lenore exhibited it at the Denver National Quilt Festival VIII and it won Best Wall Quilt at AQS Grand Rapids, 2013.
