More Quilt Canada Show

     I got the rest of the photos off my phone. There were many, many great quilts. The phone is limited in what it can take. I am a camera person. The lighting limited taking photos clearly making the phone unable to focus well.

Very big quilt. Hard to see all the values as they are dark. Pieced, not fused or raw edge.

Typical panel quilt, but rhinestone spider in corner. I have a friend who collects rhinestone pins,
so I thought it was funny.

Beautiful colorwheel with lots of neutrals, crummy photo

Read the description below. I cried.

Millions of nine patches, detail below. The quilter found all the color fabric cut in an estate sale box.

This quilt is incredibly small. Maybe 12 x 18. Detail below, about 1/4" strips.

Quilting detail of a quilt that did not photo well enough.

Just plain fun

Quilt Canada Show

     A group of quilt guilds in NYS got together for a road trip to Ottawa, Canada for Quilt Canada. We had 90 quilters on 2 buses for a 3 day trip. The show was at the EY Center next to the Ottawa Airport as was our hotel. The center is big and modern, but the lighting for quilts was horrible. I could only see some of the quilts' colors if I took a photo on my phone which lit up the quilt a bit. There were lots of vendors, not a lot of bolted fabrics. 
     At the Wonderfil thread booth, I met a quilter who was their educational rep named Teri Cherne. When I got home, I realized she is quite well known and did an episode on The Quilt Show in 2017. She is a three time cancer survivor and has quite a story. She has to be one of the most helpful and genuine people I have ever met. Everytime I thought of a question, I went back to the booth for an answer or explanation. I bought a lot of Wonderfil threads. I learned so much.
    First, my purchases. How can this little bit be close to two hundred dollars?

      This quilt was at the entrance to the show. My show photos are not great because I had to use my phone. I did not want to carry my big camera the whole time.

This wonderful bargello was in the Elna booth, so I couldn't get the whole shot.

2 strip landscape quilts, both lovely

These two tree quilts were so dark at the show, that my phone camera filled in light so they could be seen well.

     Having a hard time getting my photos off the phone, so I will post this for now, more to come.
