This weekend, the Abbotsford Quilters’ Guild is hold their show, Quilts in the Valley. \u00a0I headed to the show yesterday. \u00a0The following are some of the quilts that caught my attention.<\/p>\n

This quilt is Hanging Garden by Cozy Quilt Design. \u00a0I have seen this quilt done before but never in a scrappy version. \u00a0Of course the quilting on this one was fabulous too!<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0679-Optimized\"<\/a> This was an original design. \u00a0This one caught my eye–likely because of the recent triangle workshop I attended.\"DSC_0681-Optimized\"<\/a> This quilt is from the pattern Mesmerize by Natalia Bonner.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0682-Optimized\"<\/a> This quilt was from Glorious Patchwork by Kaffe Fassett.\"DSC_0685-Optimized\"<\/a> I could make this one today as I recognized many of the floral fabrics in this one as being in my stash as well! \u00a0I think someone has been collecting floral fabrics for as long as I have!\"DSC_0687-Optimized\"<\/a> This quilt made me smile. \u00a0It depicts so many typical fall, winter, and spring days here on the coast. \u00a0I love the brightly coloured umbrellas that brighten the otherwise grey day. \u00a0The quilting on this one was perfect. \u00a0You really get the feeling that it is raining.\"DSC_0695-Optimized\"<\/a> This quilt was in the Quilts of Valor booth. \u00a0The bluework blocks were definitely Canadian and really caught my eye. \u00a0\"DSC_0697-Optimized\"<\/a> These quilts were completed as part of the guild’s Scrappy Stars Mystery. \u00a0The pattern source is Save The Scraps by Gayle Bong.\"DSC_0711-Optimized\"<\/a> \"DSC_0712-Optimized\"<\/a>This quilt was getting a lot of attention. \u00a0The maker raw edge appliqued the circles. \u00a0But before she did that, she pinked the edges. \u00a0The quilting on this one definitely made the quilt. \u00a0The pattern source was Quilts and More, Bubble Up by Sachiko Aldous.
\n\"DSC_0714-Optimized\"<\/a>Scrappy quilts always get my attention. \u00a0The source given for this quilt was just Quilters Newsletter Magazine. \u00a0Too bad the designer was not credited as this was a fabulous quilt.
\n\"DSC_0719-Optimized\"<\/a> \"DSC_0720-Optimized\"<\/a> While at the show, I sat through a demonstration on the Split Nine Patch quilt. \u00a0This block is so effective in lights and darks. \u00a0The gal demonstrating said that she was inspired by a picture of a similar quilt on Pinterest. \u00a0Who of us has not been inspired by Pinterest! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42\"DSC_0723-Optimized\"<\/a> My favorite quilt of the whole show was actually this one. \u00a0The quilt maker worked together with her father who upholstered furniture for a living. \u00a0The two of them worked together on this quilt…even as her father was diagnosed with cancer and went through treatments. \u00a0The chair was finished and one week later her father passed away with cancer. \u00a0What a fabulous memory of her father!\"DSC_0724-Optimized\"<\/a> \"DSC_0726-Optimized\"<\/a>There were a lot of vendors at this show and I found a couple of things to purchase. \u00a0I can’t show any photos of my purchases as they are part of the two challenges I am working on. \u00a0There were a lot of other things that tempted me, but all I had to do was think about the many projects on the go at home already and I was able to walk away without buying anything new.<\/p>\n
