sold a large quilt today

[Gina Delorenzi]

Have just returned from 10 days in Canada, finding our new place to live. I was so surprised to find that my quilt Circus, shown on my guest blog July 14, at Rayela's Fiber Focus, sold while I was gone. You can also see Circus at my website, This sale was at 1000 Markets. This sure will help with that U Haul bill.
I have some new posts at my blog, www.contemporaryquiltart.org
I "prewrote" and scheduled about 10 posts in advance of our move, which will begin Monday July 27.

Our new home (a rental) is on 25 acres of rolling forest about a half hour north of Toronto. I definitely will be staying a member of Fiber Focus, just from a different direction. Gina

Hi Cheryl, and thanks, belatedly for the welcome to Canada. I actually have had some free hours to start doodling with new quilt ideas. It's quite a happy adjustment for my husband and I to be among LOTS of relatives instead of just the two of us 98% of the time. And how wonderful to taste the incredible Ontario fresh field tomatoes.

Congratulations on selling your quilt! And, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Canada, especially to Toronto! If you need any help or information on the area, just let me know.

Wow, you are going through some major changes. I'm glad we can still keep connected through the internet and Fiber Focus. Congratulations on selling another quilt. Keep in touch!

hi Rayela, I truly appreciate your comments on a new place to live helping to revitalize an artist with new ideas and perceptions. I have been brooding on how I wish I could stay in sunny Arizona with no gridlock compared to rainy and cold Toronto and too much traffic, instead of the beauty of my new environment among the trees. Thank you for you steady and caring support.

Wow! That's great news, Gina! I'm especially happy to hear that the sale was through 1,000 Markets. I think they have a great future as an internet site. And, congrats on your new home. Sounds like it will be beautiful. I hate moving, but once it is all done, a new place can really help revitalize one with new ideas and perceptions. Stay well and don't overwork yourself!
