Thistle Quilt Guild Quilt Show


Here are some hightlights of my visit to the Thistle Quilt Guild's annual show.in Westville, Nova Scotia.    It was a lovely show.  I won a door prize of a really nice table runner kit complete with backing, batting and binding. I filled up my new totebag with goodies. 
I also got together with three Nova Scotia Bloggers.

    I agree with Sheila! What a great time we had. Your photos are wonderful and show so well the beauty of the stunning quilts we saw today. The BOM quilts along the stage were exceptional! Thanks for sharing the show!

    What fun to visit your blog this morning and "re-visit" such a delightful show! I had so much fun. I wish I took more pics of the quilts, but glad you did. The show was delightful, small, intimate, and not at all overwhelming. This guild does so many fun things together. Having Sheila guide us through was an extra plus - giving us the 'inside story' behind each display.

    What an awesome show of talent! I expected to see just a "few" things but my goodness, there is so much to see. I'll have to go over the photos again and again to take everything in.

    Thanks so much for sharing. I wish I could have been there with all of you!

    A fabulous display! That must be a very large (or very productive) quilt guild!
