Stitching A Canadian Memory

The theme for the 2017 Trend-Tex Challenge, at Quilt Canada, was Stitching A Canadian Memory. Trend-Tex donated these beautiful fabrics to be used in the challenge. It is interesting to see how these were used in each of the quilted pieces. The winners have been listed on the CQA web site and photos of all the entries can be found HERE. Grab a cup of something and enjoy the wall hangings and bags.

Bits & Pieces

Today's post contains a few bits and pieces.

First thing, I would like to congratulate all the winners at Quilt Canada, especially Elaine Quehl for winning Teacher of the Year! I had the opportunity to take a class from Elaine, here in St. John's, a few years ago. She had a trunk show showing some of her amazing art quilts.
