October 2020 Newsletter




Good Morning Watergirl Quilt Co. Crew!

How did it become October so fast? One of my favourite books from my childhood was Anne of Green Gables. I love how Ann would exclaim, "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers!"

I wholeheartedly agree with Ann. October at Watergirl Quilt Co, is going to be a month to remember!

As the luminous colours of the autumn leaves amaze us every day, we can become inspired by those colours and seasonal changes and inject that into our creative journey.
