2010 Quilt Show

Next week is the Quilt Show and everything appears to be in place ... This is my first year organizing it and I am hopeful I did not forget anything. I am also hoping there will be lots of quilts for the display....

Here are the ones I am putting in the show...
#1 Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend made in a workshop given by our very own Nova Scotian Designer Karen Neary.. (I have registered for another one of Karen's workshop in October..I will blog about it later).
#2 Birchwood Lane House..
made in the Birchwood Lane Fabric by Holly Taylor and the pattern comes from the book by Suzanne McNeil
#3 Molly's Meadow and the fabric is from my stash . The pattern was designed by Kim Diehl for Henry Glass. #4 Vintage Rose was a kit from Harbour Quilt Company in Antigonish N.S. (a gift from my sister) pattern from the "Pattern Basket" #5 Heritage Square...pattern Miss Rosie's and Co.another kit from the Harbour Quilt Company in Antigonish N.S. and another gift from my sister( She knows what I like) #6 Stone Cottage .. the pattern is from Andover Fabric's website and the fabric is "In The Pink 2" by Henry Glass
#7 Blossom Time... this little cutie in the fabric "Birdie" by Me & My Sister is from the book by Pam and Nicky Lintott (as previously posted the fabric) was a gift from Kelly for Miss Émilie...

#8 Rolling Star .. pattern by Whistlepig Creek Productions and the fabric is Cause for the Cure Tradition
So those are my entries to the Quilt Show and what amazes me the most is that all labels on the quilts are dated this year so it was a very productive year ...
It will be a very busy week for me next week but I will try to enter a post on the quilt show and show you lots of those beautiful quilts that will be entered.

  2. It was a productive year, Joan, and they are all just gorgeous...hard to pick a favorite. Although I think I may have that book that the first house quilt came from, I will have to check it out. I am sure that the quilt show will go smoothly, you are always so organized.

  5. I am a Kim Diehl fan also. I have a quilt all done but the borders called Passing Fancy. I hand pieced and quilted the center. Of course I made it a lot larger than what she had it in the pattern. Your quilts are beautiful. hope you have a good show. Chris

  10. What a productive year you've had! All your quilts are lovely. I'm sure the quilt show will be a great success. I wish I could see it but there are no trips back to NS for us this summer.

  11. Oh, Joan - you're such an inspiration to all of us! All of your quilts are so beautiful - you could just do your own show (smile)! And, my goodness little Miss Emilie is getting so big! What a cutie-pie! Best wishes as you host the show - hoping it all goes really well for you!

  12. Wow Joan - you will steal the show! I am delighted to read that you are coming up again in October for another workshop. Is Simone coming also? I can't imagine I have anything to teach you, your work is so lovely, but hopefully it will be a worthwhile trip.
    You had beautiful weather for your quilt show on the weekend, hope you had record attendance!
