CQA

Last week I attended the CQA At Brock University. The Trend-tex challenge was delightful..the variety of fabrics in the kit certainly stimulated many quilters. The examples were creative  featuring traditional and modern applications. The juried and invitational sections showcased  excellent examples of Canadian quilters. The large number of vendors added to the delight of the show.
