of hers, Lori Daoust, dropped by with a small
project designed to keep Bernadette busy
while she was home with her second child.
At that time, Bernadette didn’t know what a
quilt was!
Her three children, Ashley Nicole, Colton Elliot
and Taylor Graeme, kept her busy shuffling
them to gym meets, piano lessons, soccer
games, and every other event they could
dream up. While she waited for each child,
she stitched. As she stitched, her love of
quilting grew. The more she sewed, the better
she became.
In 1999, she opened a small quilt shop called
Traditional Pastimes in Calgary, Alberta.
She has been designing quilts, bags and
miniatures since 2001.view less
