O Canada 2011 Quilt Exhibit at IQF Long Beach

One of the wonderful exhibits at the IQF Long Beach quilt show shows off many spectacular quilts made by residents of Canada and its territories.  And many of this quilts have a Canadian theme or subject.  I'm honored to be able to share with you a few quilts from the O Canada 2011 quilt exhibit:
{above} "enigma, eh!", by Grace Whiting.  Paper pieced, foundation pieced, trupuntoed, long arm quilted.

{above} "A Parliment of Owls", by Carol Goddu.  Machine applique', machine pieced, machine quilted. 
{above}"Wheel of Teal", by Marilyn J. Farquhar.  Machine foundation pieced, machine pieced, machine quilted.


{above}"Mauritius Parakeets", by Martha L. Brown.

All of the quilters in this exhibit shared stunning quilts, which I enjoyed seeing very much and I hope you enjoy those that I am sharing today.  I also loved the theme of this exhibit, and truly hope to see more exhibits, in the future, that share work from quilters and quilt artists from around the world. Clearly, we are connected thru a common thread.

    Amazing quilts, I keep going back and looking at them. I like your idea of country groupings for quilt shows. You see so many different styles. Lucky you to see them in person.
