Let’s have a look at one more booth before we stroll through the quilts…This is Hamel’s Fabrics booth! They always have lovely things and at a great price! Hamel’s has a shop in Chilliwack (outside Vancouver), plus they have a wonderful on-line shop…which you can visit HERE!
TONS of great stuff here and something for ALL quilters…
Hamel’s is always fun to poke around…and it’s always a miracle if you come away empty handed!!
Ok…on with the show! The Victoria Guild had TONS of modern and Art quilts entered in this years show. This is just a small sprinkling…
Oh…but before we get too far into the show the Sand’s Clubhouse Quilters will be happy to see who I bumped into!! It’s Dorothy!! She was a long time member of our Quilt group down south. Sadly, Dorothy lost her husband a few years ago and no longer comes down to The Sands…BUT she is still busy quilting and as you can see…she looks WONDERFUL!
SEW…on with the show…thought the quilting on this one was interesting…
Loved this one!! What kid would NOT love this quilt?
Made by a grandma of course!
A fun tree skirt…
Colourful roosters..
Pretty posies…

Now this was bright but beautifully done!
Scrappy goodness…and all hand quilted!
Pineapple goodness…
A whimsical baby quilt…
This one got my vote for Best in Show…
Little dancing nine patches, all hand quilted…
…with a lovely appliqued border.
Love the Aunt Grace (30’s) fabrics….
A Buggy Barn quilt made out of batiks…
LOVED this one too!!
Number 19 in bags got my vote…I want this sewing bag!! TOO cute!
And before we knew it… it was back on the bus/car…for home!
So if you love modern quilts or Art Quilts this is the show for YOU! Be warned…there was not one wool quilt, penny or mat…:(( But we were pleased to see all the hand quilted quilts! Hand quilting is alive and doing very well in Victoria!
If you would like to see more pictures of the Victoria Show then go to Kathy’s blog Quilting Along the Gorge. She did an awesome job!
Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilting!~P
