As promised, these are the last of the Canadian Quilt Show.
Wholecloth Quilt
This wholecloth quilt was very big and interesting. It depicts a young girl riding
her horse. It ribboned as well.
I loved this squirrel pattern that was hanging in a vendor’s booth. The blue color
is what draws me in.
Trend TEx Challenge
There were alot of exhibits at the Show. The Trend Tex Challenge uses 5 fabrics and
the theme was “A Canadian Memory.” In Nfld, “mummering” used to be a local
tradition but it has died out. Basically, people dress up and go to their friends’ houses
and act silly while the neighbours try to guess who it is dressed up. There is also
alot of liquor involved so you can see why it was both entertaining and amusing.
Guess who?
Whoever came up with this one, was thinking. We can’t forget how much
Canadians love their coffee and donuts.
Northcott’s Quilts of Valor Challenge
The Quilts of Valor Display was interesting as well; there were lots of different
quilts to choose from.
RCMP Quilt
How can you resist a red uniform? And the red toque is adorable.
Centennial Quilt
It was nice to see quilts that were made for Canada’s 100th Birthday. Very
different from today.
Close Up

Embroidered Quilt
A close up of all the work in this quilt.
Modern Quilts
Modern quilts were also being displayed.
‘Sticks”
I really like this quilt. It is so simple but the color is effective.
The Fibre Art Network was also holding their own display. This piece caught
my eye.
Curvy Quilt
I also like this pattern. The quilt was made by using Sew Kind of Wonderful’s
arc ruler.
Close Up
The quilting is terrific on this quilt. Love all the straight lines and pebbles.
Paints and stitching were used to create this watercolor effect. I think
I will have to try this technique in the future.
Skiing
Another piece which I totally fell in love with. It looks like a picture, it is that
good.
Who can forget to get the kids involved? They had their own display too.
Canadian Leaf
What a great idea to use a Canadian symbol celebrating the 150 th Birthday and
turn it into a quilt.
“Trees”
I like these trees as well.
“Taking a Walk”
It amazes me how someone can turn an ordinary experience (ie. going for
a walk) into such a great art quilt.
The details
This quilt looks like a picture. The creator did a great job!!
Hope you liked the Quilt Show and have a great week.

Stitching Impressions 
I missed the quilt show this year. Thanks for posting your pics! That first one on this post is from a lady in my guild! She is so talented! I have taken a few courses from her, she is so generous with her talent!
You could not post to many photo’s from my point of view as I don’t get to see them in person, so one BIG thank you from me, wonderful to be able to take my time and study them, I’m in love with Tree’s and like Sticks. Cheers Glenda
How did I miss the Timmies Cup? Loved that Squirrel, the quilts were beautiful. Lots of inspiration to keep us all wanting to finish our projects and start new ones. Thank You for sharing your photos with all of us.
