Day 1...
 
 was a great success at our quilt show once again!!
 
Today is Day 2 and will be running from 12- 4pm.
 
Unfortunately...
 
 our feature quilter, Irene Roy was not feeling well and couldn't be present.
 
 
This is just a few pictures of her accomplishments throughout the years.
 

 
Irene has such amazing talents in all genres of creativity...

 

 
We wish her a speedy recovery and thank her for her display of inspiration!!

It is an incredible show of the creativity

  2. A wonderful display of artwork in quilted form! I skipped noon lunch and "feasted" on these beautiful quilts instead (and enjoyed the tea and strawberry shortcake!). Thank you for inspiring me to dedicate more time to things that last - like quilts or hardanger. It was a fun time of visiting too. Thanks for all the effort that was put into this great quilt show in our little town of Torquay. Keep up this wonderful work!
