Part two of more quilts…

As promised more quilts from Quilt Canada 2025. This one was a minature quilt.

Our time was limited, so I was taking pictures along the way.

More quilts from the show.

It is a little bit cooler this evening, the Scottish pipes are playing. The bands practice on thursday evenings through the summer.

The use of colour was bold and none of the quilters held back using as much of it, both in traditional and modern quilts.

I will be sharing the photo's for you to enjoy.

More to follow..

A hot summer.

We have hot humid days and then rain showers or downpours on the torrential scale with thunder.

The weather can change quite quckly too, even when we check the radar to plan our time and activities. At times we can be on our walk and get showered suddenly that we get drenched!

More quilts from the show, these were mainly from what the vendors had up in their shop display as part of their booths. Two US vendors one who only accepted cash ? both who charged in US dollars in Canada? what were they thinking?...

Canadians are standing strong and supported Canadian!

Always enjoy seeing the Shwe-shwe fabric from South Africa.

Wool applique was huge at the show, I admired it but did not touch it.

A fun quilt on display in the hall with the quilts.

A new project.

At Quilt Canada it was like being a kid in a candy shop, Sweets from Heaven. As I mentioned before for those of us who love applique it was wonderful. Discovered this pattern, met the designer. Something about this one just grabbed my attention.

The attention to detail was amazing and the pattern was almost a half a ream of paper. The pattern include the quilting designs as well!

The water and sky is very quilted in the same design or so it looked at first glance, but it was different upon closer inspection.

As for all the fabrics? I knew that I needed the background, the brick wall, water and bridge plus the sky. The rest I knew my stash would cover it. Where to find what I needed, at the show I could not find what was what would work for this pattern. The Sewing Cafe a few months got in some fabrics which I knew would be a perfect match, so a day after the show a bit more shopping happened.

From my stash, got some Heat and bond as well for the raw edge applique as most of the fabrics are not batiks. Will draw all the quilting designs on the piece before quilting it. It looks labour intensive, it is actually simple. The scale of it is what is the thing which would be more of a challenge.

It was one of those shows where it was not so much about shopping (came home with a few bits and pieces), as it was about seeing the quilts. Took lots of photos which I will share soon.
