Get to know your executive – Gabrielle

I have a Janome Horizon which is great for quilting large quilts! I just bought a smaller Pfaff Passport which is lightweight for taking to sew-ins, and has a built in walking foot.




MQG: Do you press seams open or to the side?    
I press to the side, unless it helps a block lay flat. I press my backings open.




MQG: Do you pre-wash your fabric?                   
I don’t prewash, but I do sometimes find stuff in my stash that I washed when I started, so I use a mix. I do try to remember to test suspicious fabrics and I always prewash flannel backings.

I seem to have a real fondness for aqua, I have so many in my stash! I love aqua and orange together. I am a big fan of rainbow. 




MQG: Where’s your hometown?    
I am from the Island, I was raised on the Saanich Penninsula




MQG: What’s your day job, or are you retired?       
I work as a Medical Microbiology Technologist for the hospital, and I now work in a special area that focusses on TB and Fungal cultures. Really nerdy stuff 🙂




MQG: Show us the last quilt you finished!
