Quilt Canada was held in Penticton, British Columbia this year and several members of the Quiltsy Team arranged to meet for lunch on Friday. It was a great opportunity to put a face to names that we had only previously known online and to get to know one another a little better. We had no difficulty finding topics of conversation as we talked about the incredible quilts in the show as well as the merits and pitfalls of selling our quilts in the Etsy marketplace. It should be no surprise that it felt like a get-together of old friends.
The National Juried Show was a feast for our senses, with a collection of ninety-two pieces entered in eight categories from traditional bed quilts to artsy wearable art. There was also a huge Invitational Show at the same location which provided us with even more inspiration as we oohed and awed over the pieces ... and then there was the fantastic Merchants' Mall.
Ah, bliss . . .

It was such fun to meet some fellow Quiltsies face-to-face. The Penticton show was very inspiring, and now I have an even longer to-do list!
