Poppin' Poppies by Quirks and Quilts ..a Canadian Company has a new 3D pattern which stands out on a pieced background of black and white fabrics.

Hallowe'en

Time to bring out the pumpkins. Quilting projects with pumpkins always bring a smile and add a pop of colour to the home decor. The ladies at my church sell decorated pumpkins....Enjoy!

Tiverton Fair

Yesterday my friend and i presented a quilt trunk show at Tiverton Fair which included a variety of quilting techniques. the crowd seemed impressed with the fall quilts.
Another lady demonstrated Hallowe'en treats. Enjoy her display table.

IPM Harriston

What a beautiful display of quilts could be found in the quilt tent at the 2016 IPM. Renske Helmuth and her committee did an excellent job.The huge tent provided room to display the wide variety of quilts.A little visitor is standing in front of her favourite quilt. She loved the colours and the design.

What a delightful instructor- great examples, provided notes, demonstrated techniques on her own machine, worked with individuals and exhibited creative talents. The personal tour of her quilt exhibition was awesome.I was pleased with my project..photo to come much later.

First Meeting

The St. Jacobs Quilt Board met at the home of Salome Bauman for our annual pot-luck initiation meeting. Due to the heat we were able to enjoy Salome's beautiful yard, listen to the crickets and tree toads and have fun. Ideas are beginning to surface for 2017 quilt show...sounds exciting.
