So I opened a quilt shop.&nbsp; It didn't take too long for me to start teaching and writing how-to guides. I even translated product information into French for American companies. Over the years I became the quilting reference for French Canadians.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=\"text-align: left;\"&gt;I slowly started my own line of patterns and began publishing in Canadian, European and American magazines.&nbsp; You might have seen some of my work&nbsp;in Quilter\u2019s World, Pratique du Patchwork or Canadian Quilter.&nbsp; I decided to close my brick &amp;amp; mortar quilt shop in 2016 to concentrate more on teaching, writing and creating.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have launched my &nbsp;very first commercial pattern &lt;em&gt;Dancing Diamonds&lt;\/em&gt;&nbsp;with PlumEasy patterns.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p style=\"text-align: left;\"&gt;It's also very encouraging to win a few awards along the way:&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;ul style=\"text-align: left;\"&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Best of show at International Quilt Festival Chicago 2018 &nbsp;for &lt;em&gt;Remembering Sochi&lt;\/em&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Second Place:\n&lt;ul&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Vermont Quilt Festival 2016 for &nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Remembering Sochi&lt;\/em&gt;&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Salon 2016 for Lone Star quilt&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Vermont Quilt Festival of 2014 for Bienvenue&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;\/ul&gt;\n&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;li&gt;Juror\u2019s choice at the Salon 2012 for Thomas goes fishing&lt;\/li&gt;\n&lt;\/ul&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Married with three young boys, I live near Montreal and share my passion for quilting among my neighbors in North-America and my cousins in France.&lt;\/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;\n__TVE_SHORTCODE_RAW___<\/div><\/div>","tve_custom_css":"","tve_user_custom_css":"","tve_globals":{"e":"1","font_cls":[]},"tcb2_ready":1,"tcb_editor_enabled":0,"tve_landing_page":"","_tve_header":"","_tve_footer":""},"class_list":["post-11","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":47,"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2414,"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/11\/revisions\/2414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quiltingwithclaire.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
