Hello, my name is Francine and I live in beautiful British Columbia (Canada) with my dear fiancé Neil. We have 4 kidlets: 2 of which are mine from a previous marriage (Philippe13 & Daniella 10) and 2 of which are ours (Adrianna 6 & Nicholas 3). Marriage will come somewhere down the road, life is too exciting right now. As you can imagine, life is extremely busy with 4 children, but never a dull moment. I some how always have time for quilting and my hubby finds time to play paintball. In the last 3 years of quilting, I have tried to expand my knowledge of quilting by learning appliqué, paper piecing and  several new techniques of sandwiching or basting quilts together. My grandmother & my mother quilted allot for their children, so you could say it in my blood. I was hooked immediately and am always eager to learn more.
