A Walk Through the Pastures…

I promised you quilts…so let’s see some quilts!!  These masterpieces are from the 3rd Annual Quilt Show held at Crawford’s farm...which is situated just north of Duncan on Vancouver Island.

I loved this quilt…and I don’t like mauve…or purple!!  It was interesting how the quilter achieved the colour palette for this quilt…

…inspiration from a magazine picture of a floral arrangement!!

P1140761

I also loved this idea…the name, year and event stitched in large letters for all to see.  I’m sure Brent loved his cozy gift!

I hope you aren’t sick of seeing quilts because I have a lot more to share!!  I also have to show you some of the vender’s wares! 

See you tomorrow??…I’ll be waiting down by the creek!

Have a wicked Wednesday and Happy Quilting!~P

    Never tire of looking at quilts! Love that purple one,too, but for some reason am drawn to the owls. It must be their eyes!

    A lovely setting for all those beautiful quilts. They must have been sure there would be no rain.

    Oh those colours! Ping! And I'm very glad to see some wildlife in the great outdoors too- the Wols are especially vibrant I think!

    I was at a (rare) qult show in Dublin last week, but was only allowed to take photos if I didn't put them on any blog or internet sites. They weren't on the same level as these, but there were some lovely ones, and its a pity not to share I think. Its not like anyone could exactly copy another quilt, could they?

    I love all the animals! But there is something about slide #3 that I really like...it must be all those tiny squares!

    I love seeing quilts. We have an outdoor quilt show here every two years and it is always such a delight.
