This year I am giving you plenty of advanced warning…it’s almost time for Crawford’s Annual Quilt Show! If you don’t remember last year’s show, not to fret…I have pictures to refresh your memory!! This is Vancouver Island’s Largest OUTSIDE Quilt Show, with over 200 quilts on display! Crawford’s Farm is located just outside Duncan, BC (about a one hour drive, north of Victoria).
Posters are going up advertising the event, horns and sirens are going off and airplanes are flying overhead with banners…OK, I tend to exaggerate…but yes, posters are going up!
NOW, let me refresh your memory…I wrote about this event last year, so your mind may be a bit foggy…
As I said, this Quilt Show is held at Crawford’s Farm, which is a working farm…SEW picture hundreds of gorgeous quilts strung up on fields…
..in amongst our massive evergreens…
…strung from our might maples…
…down in the cool, cool valleys……a top of every hill…
Yes, these lovely quilts are EVERYWHERE!
Quilts circle the vendors out in the open field… And (my favourite part) quilts were on the trails circling this rural farm…gorgeous!
Yup…you don’t want to miss this one!!
So if you live on Vancouver Island you will DEFINITELY want to circle August 11 and head on over!
And if you live on the mainland…why not make a day of it? Fill a car with quilters and come on over…You know you wannna! There are lots of great restaurants in Duncan or you can eat on site…
I mean REALLY…where can you hike a trail and come upon this!! Heaven!!
You will even find a couple of these…
..because you REALLY do want to get to the other side…
There are park benches sprinkled here and there to rest your weary bones or just to sit a spell and drink in this wonderful setting…BLISS!!
Oh…and did I mention the vendors…yup, they’ve even got some of those!
So come on over…
You’ll be glad you did!! I’ll be waiting for YOU at the garden gate!
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P
Wish I could be there but I already have plans. LOL Have fun!
