Purplepatch Machine Quilting
Artist Pat Lemaire's Statement: The threads of my creativity weave my innate desire to marry my quilting heritage with my love of different fibres and textures.

Sources of stimuli vary from day to day...gardening, listening to the radio, or conversations with friends and family. Also, I allow my daily interactions with nature to influence the works I create. The results provide me with a sense of peace and deep satisfaction as I am able to capture those moments with fibres and quilting, each piece a testament of the unique blend of the two approaches.

I look forward to a future of creating and following my art wherever it might lead.

PROGRESS PRESCOTT NEWS
As some of you may know, I am leaving the Town of Prescott and my role as Economic Development Officer for a career in academia which is my first true professional love.

I have been privileged and honoured to work as Prescott's first Economic Development Officer and I want to thank those who championed this position and who have supported, encouraged, and collaborated with me along the way. I have loved working with the community and all its residents, business owners, and community stakeholders and I am looking very forward to our paths crossing in future.

Prescott is a resourceful, resilient, and ethusiastic Town that I am proud to call my hometown.

Progress is not just in the Town's future, it is happening now thanks to all the people who work tirelessly to make the Town a great place to call home.


Sincerely and with gratitude,


Jackie Schoemaker Holmes
