Wachay my name is Lily Chouinard a proud member of Taykwa Tagamou Nation.
Growing in Moose Factory I was taught by my late mother Ruby Moore how to bead and sew.
I take great joy in sharing the craft with youth, women & people of my communities.
Crafting is a healthy therapy that aids in mental clarity in a calming way.
I am always excited to try new crafts and learn new techniques!
