I played hooky from work on Friday afternoon! Unheard of, but since I was starting holidays next week and I’d been training my replacement for almost a month, I felt like I could afford a little time off. My neighbour and friend, Judy, really wanted to go, and it was her birthday on Thursday. Her sister was visiting from Calgary, so the three of us drove to Lillooet, about an hour’s drive away. It was a nice little show, with some obviously very talented members of the Lillooet Quilter’s Guild.
I didn’t count them, but there were probably about 50 or 60 quilts there in St. Andrew’s Church. Of course, I took pictures of some of my favourites.
Love the cats! You probably recognize this pattern. Crazy Cats by C. Arthur-Stathers. Quilted by Connie Rackow: 66x80. Buggy Barn pattern. This is just a small part of the quilt.
Kaleidoscope by Donna Cook. Quilted by Connie Rackow. “Quilt was done using 2.5 inch strips."
Quail Family by Helen Evans. 30.5x16. Pattern by Log Cabin Quiltworks.
Mystery Quilt by Carol Gallant: 82x100 "We did 1 star per week"
Round Robin Quilt by Carol Gallant and Friends. Quilted by Connie Rackow: 86x100. "Feathered star was my centre and the five participants added a border each. I had provided all the fabric."
All Cooped Up by Vi Kipper. 35x37. McKenna Ryan's patterns 'Pineneedles'. This is just one of the squares.
Memories in Lace by Lynn Ritchie. Quilted by Shari Evans. "I have always wanted a crazy quilt. A labor of love." This is just a little piece of the quilt.
Snowy Days by Helen Evans. 66x66. Crapapple Hill Design.
Growing Fish Assortment by Helen Evans. 55.5x46. Inspired by Susan Carlson's books "Freestyle Quilts" Ever now and then a few more fish get added to the assortment."
Circle Fun by Carol Gallant and Connie Rackow: 32x40. "This was a Barb Tuemp lesson. Leaving the hall after cutting this out, the wind caught my board and blew my pieces everywhere. So, I pieced it as best as possible and Connie did the applique.”
Until next time,
