Prints for Purchase

I just opened my etsy shop, also called Rebecca Roher Art, where you can find archival quality prints of my original watercolour paintings.
The prints are bright, beautiful and look shockingly like the originals. Plus, they make great gifts!

Lunenburg Academy Memory Quilt

My amazing crew of seamstresses from the Lunenburg Academy and I have been very busy creating blocks for our memory quilt for the last seven weeks. Yesterday, we had a very productive session and the whole top has finally been pieced together. I am thrilled to present it in its almost-finished state!


Next week we will be stretching it on the frame and begin hand quilting the whole piece, stitching the top, batting and back layers together. Hand-quilting is an old tradition in this part of Nova Scotia, and continues on today with a few groups. I am so impressed by the dedication and creativity I have seen over the last few weeks with my students, and I cant wait to see the quilt complete!


Early on, we made a practice paper quilt to better understand drawing with shapes.
