Quilt show... some favourites to share

 Some absolutely stunning quilts at the Quilts in the Valley in Abbotsford this weekend.  This quilt won a ribbon for group work. Striking!  The roses were machine blanket stitched after being attached to the backing fabric with fusible web.  Wow!

 Little, itty bitty hexies!

 Loved this one.  Overgrown.  It was really amazing close up... detailed and interesting with the wonky log cabin background.

 Precise, fine handquilting on linen squares.  This was just fabulous work.

 One of the featured quilters was Wendy Lewington, a local artist and quilter.  Her quilts make quite a political statement and there was a series on women.  I think it was from a series called "Work, work, work."  So the clocks, the laundry, the apron taking flight.  Wonderful.

It is really interesting to see the work of so many different quilters.  Most inspiring.  It was also fun to bump into people and have a wee visit!  I did not however, find a quilt with a moose.  Happy weekend!

Quilt show this weekend!

Quilts in the Valley this weekend at the Abbotsford Tradex.  Very exciting.  I thought it was pretty funny to see that husbands get in free!  I told Husband that there is absolutely no pressure then.  He doesn't have to pretend to be having fun.  He can just leave and not feel guilty.

This is not the only exciting thing as I notice that my fabulous local quilt shop is having a special to be nice.  They have a 50% off coupon on their blog and are offering a free pattern too.  That is just so nice!  Don't forget to print out the coupon and if you are out in Abbotsford, check out the shop.  Parking can be tricky because of the Farmer's Market but it is worth the patience of finding a spot to park.
