Now if the quilts would just put themselves away

We had a great time as feature quilters at the

MCC Quilt Show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, (Canada) last weekend.

Here I am in front of my corner of letter and word quilts.

Would you be surprised to know 

it can be tiring talking to people about quilts for three days?

I shared the honour of being the feature quilter

along with my mother.

She brought quilts she's made from over the last 25 years or so.

The feathered star and the Amish square within a square

are both handquilted with many feather motifs.

She also brought this hand appliqued and quilted paper cut quilt

that took her a decade to complete.

Each block is different.

 The showstopper was her Baltimore album-style quilt

which also took her a decade to complete.

I've seen this quilt many times, 

but I'm still in awe of the skill demonstrated here.

I showed some of my latest word quilts,

including this one showcasing various free motion designs

and this one with several feather variations in the borders.

Thanks for all of you who stopped by in person.

I'm linking up to The Needle and Thread Network.

Last chance!

Sunday is the last day to stop by the MCC Quilt Show and Sale

at 134 Plaza Dr. in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I'll be there as feature quilter from noon to 4 p.m..

Stop by and see the 45 items my mother and I have on display,

including some new work I haven't posted here

as well as this quilt, which we made together three years ago,

and raffled off as a fundraiser.

The new owner was kind enough to lend it back to us for this weekend,

but it's likely the last time I'll ever see this quilt again.

Stop by, I'd love to talk to you!

Feature quilters

I spent the day hanging 47 quilts, big and small,

for my weekend gig as feature quilter at the MCC Show in Winnipeg.

Here's my corner of the room

And here's my  mother's.

We're both the feature quilters.

She has several queen-sized quilts

while I have many lap and wall quilts.

The show starts Friday morning and runs through until Sunday at 4 p.m.
