More Eye Candy from the French Shore

The show was a great success and you will see why from the photos I have below. We close this afternoon and in spite of the  fatigue we will miss the interconnection we have had all week with all our visitors at the show. Visitors from across the province, the country, the USA and Europe.  

The colors... 

These were very famous in the show with the younger generation especially made by my sister-in-law Melina

Pinwheels are always a specialty in a quilt 

Fall colors attracted many 

oh! and the appliqué

This one sooo eye catching... 

all kinds of little projects for sale!

I love the stars 

Machine quilting in this one was perfect for the pattern 

More appliqué... hand appliqué that is 

This one is machine appliqué

The butterflies...

Another story to tell with Kaaren's hand embroidery

 This is the closing day and more eye candy to follow...

A wonderful week! 

A sneak peek

The week so far at  Expo couverte/quilt show has been wonderful . It was very quiet in the house last evening when I came home from the show. I had talked to so many people  I had practically lost my voice. Were my vocal cords over worked or was it I was speechless at the amount of visitors who came to see the show? 

I think a bit of both.   

 The next three photos are the ones on the alter and are all hand sewn and hand quilted .

By member of the guild Jeannette Comeau

Beautiful work done by Louise Vincelli 

 and another one of Louise Vincelli. Her inspiration for this quilt came from a Christmas card she had received  

This beauty and a special interests to many members in the guild who are into hexies made by Darlene d'Eon

 this celebrates Christmas in a very special way by Kaaren 

 and on my to-do list Cracked pots... by Debbie Handspiker 

A Nautical theme.. beautiful appliqué

 Volkswagons rolled into the show by Geraldine Comeau 

These are but a few of what takes my breath away ... at the Expo-couverte/ quilt show now on until tomorrow at 4 pm in

I wish to thank all the quilters who donate their time to help us with the set up for the display, the meeting and greeting of the visitors all week and most importantly the many quilters in South West Nova who bring their works of art for us to have the successful show we have every year.

 Thank you Ladies! 

I cannot thank you enough but just know that you will be
 rewarded by a Higher Power greater than me!

Hugs ♥   

Everything is ready

and I am excited to see all the entries that will be on display at the  quilt show.

With everyone who was contacted and asked to bring in their beautiful works of arts I am reassured it is a show not to miss. 

The amazing quilters will be bringing their quilts to register on Sunday from 1:00 to 5:00 and then on Monday the doors open for the show. 

Hours: Monday to Thursday from 10:00 to 8:00

Friday July 31 the show closes at 4:00 pm

Now you know where I will be all next week..  meeting old friends and making new ones... 

 This week was dedicated to preparing everything for the quilt show and finishing projects I want to bring for the sale at the show... 

                                                               Bags, place mats 

and those bags come in all sizes ... this one is a i-pad bag 

and so is this one .

I try will to post  updates on the quilt show next week,.. but photos of the quilts themselves will only be shown after the show is closed.

So come on down and see those spectacular, splendid, superb, wonderful, gran, impressive, inspiring, awesome, stunning, breathtaking, and incredible ..did I get all the synonyms for gorgeous? 

Trust me the projects that you will see at the Quilt-Expo Couverte deserve all these adjectives and more.
