There is no photography of the quilts in the National Juried Show. :( *Edited: CQA put up a gallery of the National Juried Show quilts though!* Wow, the quilts were amazing! I picked up a catalogue so I could take the inspiration with me. Yes, that's my quilt in the catalogue! I got some lovely emails from people who saw it in the show too. You guys are awesome!
We saw the National Juried Show, the Invitational Show, the Fibre Arts Network Show and the Niagara Modern Quilt Guild Show. What a feast for the eyes!
***The following photos and projects are not my own, but I've put in links to the original images and/or creators where possible. If for any reason you do not want your project featured here, please email me and I'll remove it.***
I was in awe of so many of the quilts, but here are a couple of my favourites from the other shows:

| Fifties Flare - Representational (Left) - Valerie Wilson, Abstract (Right) - Brandy Maslowski |
No quilt show would be complete without a visit to the Merchant Mall, right? In addition to all the goodies available for purchase, there was plenty of quilt inspiration too:
Quilt Junction:
Innova Longarm Quilting Systems:
The Running Stitch:

| That's my awesome sister! :) |
JP's Quilt Studio - Stoney Creek, ON:
After the shows, my sis, mom and I met the guys and the kids at Niagara Falls. We couldn't pass up the kids' first visit to the Falls without taking a ride on the Hornblower.

I was glad we saved the visit to the Niagara Falls for after the shows because this is Mother Nature's idea of what my hair should look like. LOL!
Hope you had a wonderful weekend too!
I'm dying with jealousy! How did I not know this was going on, and at my university no less? It looks like you must have had a blast though.
ReplyDeleteSure was a great show, glad you enjoyed it and could turn it into a family vacation as well! Gotta love mist hair!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful time. We took the kids to Niagara Falls a couple of years ago and I have so many cool memories from that trip. :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun show! And you got some nice goodies from it!
ReplyDeleteOh fun trip!!! I love the quilts...especially the car fender!!!! my hair does that same thingy....lil
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great show. Love your awesome quilt too!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had been able to see the show too. I did not know there was a catalogue, maybe they have some left over as it looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteoh this sounds like fun! Very pleased about your quilt!
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt and in print - wow!! Looking forward to meeting you (all) next week :)
ReplyDeleteI saw Quilt Canada in Halifax in 2012. It was incredible. I'm so excited (but not really surprised) that one of your quilts was in the NJS. Congrats!!! I would love to have seen it in person.
