A wow moment for sure. I received my first ever quilt show ribbon, Viewer's Choice Award.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for my quilt entry.

Our Behind the Seams quilt show is done for 2026! We’ll be back in 2029!
What took two and a half days to set up and tweak to perfection took about an hour and forty-five minutes to dismantle 🫣.
We had so many wonderful comments, and we sincerely appreciate our visitors coming and saying them!
Numbers are still being crunched, but it was a very successful show!
Here is the photo of the Viewers’ Choice CQA Rosette winner, Sacred Earth Journey by Lesley Poper. Her quilt is eligible to go for display at the CQA annual Quilt Show in Winnipeg later this month. Congratulations Lesley!
I will do another post with a few more candid photos….

Read on a different page, but well said.

There is something deeply special about things made by hand. Not because they are flawless, but because they carry the quiet fingerprints of effort, patience, and love. Every stitch, every tiny imperfection, and every careful detail is proof that someone gave a piece of themselves to create something meaningful. In a world that often rushes toward perfection, handmade things remind us that sincerity will always be more beautiful than flawless results. ✨

So if your work feels imperfect, keep going anyway. The heart behind what you create matters far more than perfect lines or perfect outcomes. The most treasured things in life are often the ones made with care, passion, and genuine intention — because people may forget perfection, but they never forget something made with love. 🤍

Hi there, looking for votes for Ted's quilt. #29. One vote per email address.

If he is in the top 20 he has asked for a matching Hawaiian shirt to wear at Quilt Canada. Blue with fish!
