Here are some more photos, as promised, from last week’s

Quilt Canada, in Toronto.

There seemed to be alot of modern quilts at the Show this

year. Depending on what your taste is, this could be a good

thing or not. I really like the colors in this

quilt and the piecing  seems like alot of fun as well.

Orange is a color that is growing on me. It will be fun to

see if I actually make an orange quilt.

This was an interesting quilt. It is very modern looking

and its size draws you in.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that the stitching is all

done by hand, unless the maker has a Sasiko sewing machine.

Yes, there is such a thing.

Another modern quilt. It was interesting how the designer

chose the colors that she/he did. There is alot of tight

straight line stitching on this one as well.

Krista Withers quilted this quilt while another lady

made it. Krista is a longarmer that I follow and am

beginning to really like her quilting.

Again, another orange pieced quilt. An interesting layout and

designs for quilting.

As usual, it is the quilting that draws me in. I  love the texture

that the quilting gives to a quilt. It brings it to life.

An interesting take on a modern circular quilt.

I love the colors in this wallhanging.

This wallhanging seemed to grab alot of attention. The

bright yellow circle stands out alot.

More machine stitching.

Here is an example of the tight, dense, straight line

quilting that seemed to be so popular in the Quilt

Show this year. I wonder what next year will bring?

I do love the colors in this piece and the stitching is

fascinating as well. Again, where does someone start

on a piece like this?

I love wholecloth quilts. The stitching and texture is

what makes the whole quilt. This must be why

longarming appeals to me so much.

Forget the piecing and go straight to the quilting and

texture.

This is Ruth Kennedy’s quilt. It is quite large and colorful.

Once again,she won a ribbon too. A very talented lady

indeed.

This was an interesting quilt. When I first saw it, I

wondered “how did this  person ever piece all those

small pieces?”

Getting closer to the quilt, I noticed that the background

was all white/cream and all the black marks were drawn

onto the quilt top using a black marker or sharpie.

Wow!! That must have taken a long time to create. The stitching

is pretty cool as well. This quilt certainly stirred up alot of

commotion.

Helen Fujiko won the “Best of Show” with this

wallhanging. It is extremely colorful, which I love.

A close up of her quilt.

The whole quilt judging process intrigues me.

There are still more photos to come. I will try to

wrap it up next week. Enjoy the sunshine in

Southern Ontario.
