Mini-Maker Faire in Montreal

Montreal's holding a quilting bee this weekend. Not the usual kind, but a digital quilting bee.

It's called the Mini-Maker Faire and while Maker Faires are popping up around the world now, this is a first for Montreal.

Other descriptions of the event include  'a futuristic arts and crafts" fair - and the 'greatest show-and-tell on earth."

But that's still pretty confusing, so we invited in Danielle Dyson, the local organizer, to explain.
