Some close ups...
And a few pics from afar...
A few smaller projects...
And just a few words...
Of course there was one Wonky House quilt top in the parade. I was at the podium so couldn't take a picture. For a picture and info click here. From the pics above, you can see that we tend to be a pretty traditional group of quilters, but always looking to try something new or incorporate the new with the old. I was thrilled to be introduced as "our blogger" and able to tell folks about The Cuddle Quilter and the many projects in the quilt blog community.
I highlighted the Wonky House Block exchange and was even interviewed by CTV news as part of a segment about the Ocean Waves Quilting Society. The segment aired last night around 6:50 so I got home just in time to watch it. It was pretty exciting for me but I was a little nervous and there were a few mangled words...
A wonderful day yesterday, and another wonderful day today! Thanks for coming by. Hope you enjoyed the show. It's a great day for quilting!

What a gorgeous display of quilts. I love when bloggers share their quilt shows with us. There are some very talented ladies in the group.
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you were on t.v.! I would have been so nervous that I probably would have fallen off the stage! Not a public speaker at all ;)
What variety! Love the applique one with the tree in the middle!
ReplyDeleteWell done you!
Just a room full of fantastic quilts - and a lot of large quilts that look hand-quilted(?). The first just grabs me - black just makes a statement. And how cool that you were spotlighted and on TV!
ReplyDeleteSo much talent in one place--love it! That wonky house quilt is so cute!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful show, Lesley (AKA Ms. Blogger). How fun to be identified as the blogger of the group! Such a great variety of projects, every one special and enjoyable to see. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhen you get famous don't forget the little people!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful parade of quilts.. great variety and talent in your group. How exciting to be interviewed about your Wonky Houses - nice that they recognise quilting!!
ReplyDeleteI saw you on the news last night with your Wonky Houses quilt!! You did such a good job - being interviewed and on your quilt!! I wasn't able to attend this year :(, but my friends had a great time. Love all your pics. ~karen
