Quilt Canada was held in Toronto this year at the International Centre. I went on Thursday. Wow! The inspiration, I have a mental list of things I'd like to do and try. The only snag is time, or lack thereof. I know I'm not the only one with this little problem.
How about some inspiration?

| Fall's First Frost by Susan Jensen |
This piece was stunning, the trees literally stood out.
 |
| Coast moments of the Woods by Carol Seeley |
A few of the Quilts of Valour this was a Northcott challenge.
A couple of my favourites and there were lots more. When looking at Walking with Mom it left you feeling like you were with them on their walk. A beautiful and amazing piece!!!

| Walk with Mom by Debora Barlow |
Over 30 different purples in Ellie and Squeak.
 |
| Ellie and Squeak by Terry Rowland Can you spot Squeak? |
What show would be complete without some acquisitions?
 |
| these are destined for a bag. They are Northcott Stonehenge fabrics |
The green ( L's Modern by Lecien) and purple ( Bear Essentials by P & B Textiles) go so well with the floral print (Walk in the Park by Maywood Studio) they just had to come home with me.
 |
| these may make it to a new quilt pattern I'm working on |
I swore off FQ's but in my defense these are landscape fabrics and one can never have too many of those.
 |
| puffy clouds, turbulent water and little flowers |
A four metre piece will be used for a backing from Sew Sisters.
 |
| at $4.99/m, four metres came home |
Freebies are always welcome!
