This past Friday, I attended the Waterloo County Quilters’ Guild Exhibit at the RIM Park in Waterloo, a short thirty-five minute drive away. Comprised of more than 200 members, the Waterloo Guild is one of the largest in the country. Each years, hundreds of their quilts are donated to Grand River Hospital, Vera’s Place, Ronald McDonald House Alzheimer’s Society, New Hamburg Mennonite Relief Sale, and other non-profit organizations.
While the guild has been active for more than three decades, the style of quilting has evolved beyond traditional techniques and fabrics. I was impressed by the variety of styles and circled the room several times, stopping to read the story cards on each quilt and snap pictures.
Here are my favorites from this year’s exhibit:
These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing.
You’re very welcome, Catherine. I’m in awe of such fine workmanship. 🙂
Beautiful work! My two left hands are impressed, lol
Ditto from my own left hands! I’m glad to have been blessed with the gift of appreciation. 🙂
Hi Joanne ! Here is a bed-cover only made in Provence. This traditional technique is called “Boutis provençal”.
Hi Patricia, Thanks for sharing this lovely bed-cover. Impressive!
