…at the ROM
Last week I took a quick walk through the exhibition of quilts from The Quilts Made in Canada show. It wasn’t a very big show and one could easily see all of it in under 10 minutes. Here is a close-up of one of the quilts on display and I posted the full size so that you could see just how tiny the squares really are.
…if you have no plans for tomorrow and need something to do on a rainy day head over to Neilson Park….you won’t be disappointed
I haven’t done any quilting in years but I always like to see what people are up to in the quilting world. Not only were there great quilts to look at and buy but there were vendors in one room selling everything you would ever need to start your own quilt. In another room the Quilters Guild at Neilson Park were selling ready made items and selling off some surplus supplies for all kinds of crafters and artists. I bought buttons, laces, ends of fabric and numerous other things that I’m going to include in some of my collages.
The highlight of the show of course is the wonderful selection of quilts on display throughout the entire centre.
The show was well attended today and we met people who came all the way from Sudbury, North Bay, St. Catharines and Waterdown to attend the show. It is open again on Saturday from 10:00 till 5:00. You can enjoy some coffee, tea and sweet treats in the café and even try your luck at the raffle table.

Who doesn’t love pink? Had fun going through the archives looking for pink photos.

,,,from the Orangeville Quilt Show last weekend
I loved these fun quilts.
….but just being able to admire all the beautiful work made me a winner
What am I talking about? Well a week ago I went to Neilson Park Creative Centre in Etobicoke (close to where I live) to take in the annual quilting show. At one end of the hall there was a table of prizes consisting of quilted items that had been donated by the members of the quilters’ guild. I purchased 10 tickets and chose where I wanted my tickets to go. Seeing that I haven’t received a phone call I can only assume that none of my tickets were pulled. Oh well, it doesn’t matter because I went there to see the beautiful hand and machine quilted blankets, coverlets, table runners and wall hangings. Here are a few selections that I managed to photograph.
