Yohanne's art studio hosted many friends and artists when they visited Gaspésie, including Richard Séguin. She listened to her favorite music there, including Richard Desjardins' “Tu m'aimes-tu?”

As a member of the Cercle des Fermières des Capucins, she knitted, sewed, embroidered and made creative quilts. This group still exists, but the Centre Socio-Culturel where the weavers work is threatened with closure.

By expressing your support (in the questions section of the horoscope game), we hope to protect this important place in the community. Go and meet the weavers and knitters at the little blue boutique near Chez Tom's Cantine and spoil yourself! They're also sometimes at the Cap-Chat Market and the market in Sainte-Anne des Monts.

The magnificent studio photo was taken by Maude Jomphe, a friend of Yohanne's. If you're ever in the Magdalen Islands, meet her at her boutique, La Maison Papier!
