Quilt Canada 2018 recap – 2018.06.06

Last week I spent 4 fun-filled days at Quilt Canada 2018 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.   Four days of workshops, lectures, shopping and over 400 spectacular quilts!

 

On Wednesday morning, I helped my fellow Vancouver MQG members with the set up of the QuiltCon Travelling exhibit of modern quilts, which was very well received.

 

On Wednesday evening, I attended the Awards Ceremony, and was happy to cheer as many of my friends won awards.  The National Juried Show award winning quilts can be seen here.

I was thrilled to receive the Trend-Tex award for my entry ‘Tally to Thirty’.

 

Here are some of the Trend-Tex quilts hanging at the show.  There were 86 entries this year.

 

Here are some of the other concurrent shows, which were all well attended.

 

I attended a great workshop and inspiring lecture by Gloria Loughman from Australia.

On Saturday morning, I presented a lecture about some of my tips and techniques for making Architectural Quilts.

 

On Saturday afternoon, I helped take down a couple of the concurrent shows.  It was fun to be a part of the behind-the-scenes set up and take down.

Now I’m looking forward to Quilt Canada 2019, which will be held in Ottawa, Ontario.
