Hi Here we are in Kangiqsujuaq, P.Q. Looks cold but not bad. Some days
we are teaching afternoons and evening and some are all day. Today we
had a power outage for most of the afternoon. Do not have internet
every day so will keep in touch when I can. Mary Ito interviewed Donna Boksa and Yvette Fournier for

Two quilters from Toronto have been invited to a Northen Quebec community to teach their craft. Yvette Fournier and Donna Boksa are members of the Etobicoke Quilters Guild. They joined Mary to talk about the trip...and the appeal of quilting.
