Paul Léger<br />

I took my first quilting course in<br />
September 1994 in Barrie, Ontario,<br />
near the armed forces base where<br />
I was stationed. After moving to<br />
Ottawa in 1996, I joined my first<br />
guild. I took more courses and<br />
began to buy quilting books and<br />
lots of fabrics. Quilting has become<br />
my passion. I have made over 150<br />
more quilts since then, and have<br />
never looked back. I now share my<br />
knowledge of quilting by teaching<br />
and doing presentations, and<br />
blogging!<br />
