Best of Quilting in Canada

Through Lucy’s Eye

In 2021 I made this art quilt of Lucy (Edmonton Valley Zoo) and I entered it into the Canadian Quilters Association (CQA) national juried show. I was thrilled to learn that it was juried into the 2021 CQA Show. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, the in-person show was cancelled and replaced with a virtual show so I never got the opportunity to see it hang on the show floor.

This summer I received at email from CQA informing me that they were compiling a selection of juried entries into a “Best of Quilting in Canada”collection and they wanted to include my piece. The quilts would be exhibited in the New England Quilt Museum (NEQM) in Lowell, Massachusetts, from January 17 to May 9, 2023. Needless to say, I was shocked and thrilled. 

All of the selected quilts are also featured in the 2023 spring edition of Canadian Quilters Magazine.

Rosalie’s Wall Hanging

I really like the rich colours that Rosalie chose for her quilt top. I used one layer of a stiff fusible batting to give the wall hanging some body and weight so that it would hang flat against the wall.  I added a layer of  Hobbes 80/20 on top to still give some loft to the quilting.  Rosalie chose Swirls Simplified and I think it worked really well with her piecing.
