Block 190
Panel 3, Row 3, Column 4
I have chosen a Log Cabin block. The reason I live in Canada was to start a new life with my husband.
Although I was born and raised just across the border in St. Clair, Michigan, I immigrated to Canada when we were married. He was born in Sarnia. The Log Cabin symbolized hearth and home to the early
pioneers that made their way west to start a new life. Also, Quilting came into my life in greater detail
shortly after I moved to Sarnia in 1975 when I enrolled in a class. After that I was hooked on quilting.
«C'est le Canada pour moi»
J'ai choisi un motif de cabane en bois rond pour realiser ma piece. Je suis venue vivre au Canada pour
commencer une nouvelle vie avec mon mari. Meme si je suis nee et si j'ai grandi tout pres d'ici, a St. Clair au Michigan, j'ai immigre au Canada quand je me suis mariee. Mon mari est ne a Sarnia. La cabane en rondins symbolisait l'atre et le refuge pour les premiers colons qui emigrerent vers l'ouest pour refaire leur vie. De plus, j'ai appris veritablement l'art de la courtepointe en 1975 apres avoir demenage a Sarnia et m'etre inscrite a un cours. J'ai eu la piqure.
