Yesterday I attended the 2013 Waterloo Guild Quilt Show at the old Rim Park building. I was impressed by the number of Dwaynne Wanner influenced quilts. It is a treat to find quilters leaving the box to create. Dwaynne would be thrilled with your works of art. This show was a treat....I loved the creative, original quilts..and admired the new patterns

.The number of vendors was also impressive.

The outside of the IPM quilt tent was beautifully landscaped. Lisa Taylor's quilt won my prize for the happiest quilt at the show. It had colour, movement, creativity and interesting use of fabrics.

Received the announcement last week that Reichard's Store in St. Jacobs will be closing this autumn. Lesley has always supported the St. Jacobs Quilt Shows..and will be missed. The store had special displays as well as a few bargains during the week.Happy retirement, Lesley!

Isn't this pumpkin fabric delightful! Time to think about a use for it ......

Time to start collecting interesting quilt patterns to do later this fall and winter. At the IPM, I purchased ,'Round and Round' a Thimble Blossom pattern by Camille Roskelley. The new line of ,'Cantik' fabric should be perfect . Looking forward to getting started on my new project.
