About Me
WHERE I COME FROM
I was born in Hearst Ontario and raised in Geraldton. From there I moved several times and now we are back in Beardmore. I love the location of our home as it sits on a corner lot and right across the Black Water River where I listen to the rapids flowing year round. Nothing soothes me more than sitting outside under the shade of the huge clump of trees, sipping a cup of coffee and listening to the birds. That is when the decluttering of the brain occurs. This is one life long dream that has come through for me.

HOW I CAME UP WITH MY BUSINESS NAME
As a child living in Geraldton, my Grandfather came to live with us. At first the two of us did not get along. After a while, I would get a kick out of listening to him laugh and watch the tears flowing down his cheek from laughter. A gentle Irish soul, crippled with arthritis, we became the best buds. It was not uncommon for us to get into trouble with my mom as we would all of a sudden burst into laughter for no particular reason. My mother would get so upset with us as she did not know why we were laughing.
Our favorite thing to do was to sit outside and look up at the stars, not saying word, just enjoying the moment. I loved the smell of his pipe as he smoked. To this day, I sometimes smell that smell and it reminds me of him. He passed away in 1975. Needless to say it broke my heart and I miss him so much.
Now back to where I was. After purchasing my APQS machine, my accountant Heli suggested that I should start a business. Then the matter of what do I name this business was bugging me. One night I opened the door to let my dog out, and as I always do, I looked up at the sky, and thought of my grandfather. Hence the name StarryNight Quilter. And yes, I do prefer to quilt at night.

WHERE I AM NOW
I now have over 6 years of quilting experience which means your quilts are in good hands whether you want a simple edge to edge design or custom quilting. I keep your quilts in a storage bucket at all times to ensure nothing gets on them. Take a look at the full list of services I have to offer. Don’t forget to wander through the gallery to see a sample of the quilts I have quilted for others and some of the ones I made for family members.
