Nancy Devine is a devoted user and collector of<br />

remnants, scraps, and vintage buttons. She lives in<br />

Aurora, Ontario, and can often be found working<br />

on her latest project, and playing around with<br />

her vintage (and much loved) Bernina machine.<br />

Find more of her work and musings on her blog.<br />

Christine has been designing and publishing<br />

quilt patterns for the last 10 years under the<br />

business name Fairfield Road Designs. Her<br />

patterns range from fusible applique and<br />

piecing to felted wool applique and punchneedle.<br />

You can see all her patterns on her website.<br />

Elaine made her first quilt at the tender age of 13.<br />

The urge to quilt resurfaced when her daughter<br />

moved from a crib. The rest is history – she now<br />

teaches several days a week, makes quilts on<br />

commission and quilts for others on the long-arm.<br />

Kathy is a multiple international-award winning<br />

quilter specializing in appliqué techniques<br />

in a “contemporary traditional” style. She<br />

lectures and teaches all over the country at<br />

guilds, shops and quilt shows and is a CQA/<br />

ACC Certified Quilt Judge. Her designs are<br />

available as individual patterns as well as in<br />
