There was an amazing number of inches reported this month – probably because everyone is pushing to get their Christmas quilting done. Can you believe it – we made it to Inuvik ! We are going to stay here over Christmas. This is the closest I have been to the North Pole and Santa!
We came by way of the Dempster Highway and is Canada ’s only public highway that crosses the Arctic Circle .

And for all you gardeners, I think we should visit the Inuvik Community Greenhouse which is the most northern greenhouse in North America and the only one of its kind inthe world - converted from an old arena.
When reporting their inches, the Norfolk QG in Jarvis ON mentioned their “team UFO completion competition” which made a big difference in reducing personal piles of UFOs and increasing their inch count.
Timmins QG says that members are encouraging others members to bring their quilts for show and tell so they can add up their Walk To Brock inches.
At the Manitoba Prairie Quilters one woman brought 34 hand appliquéd baby quilts.
