Earlier this month, I spent 4 fun-filled days at Quilt Canada 2022 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. An awards ceremony, followed by 3 days of workshops, lectures, shopping and hundreds of spectacular quilts! This was the first large live event I have attended since 2019, and I loved it. The extra bonus was I didn’t have to fly to get there, as I live very near to Vancouver.
On Wednesday evening, I attended the Awards Ceremony, and was happy to cheer as many of my friends won awards. The National Juried Show award winning quilts can be seen here.
I was thrilled to receive the 3rd place award in the Abstract and Improvisational category for my piece X’s and O’s.

My quilts were well represented in a number of exhibits.
- The Magical Colours of Autumn, in the NJS Landscapes and Still Life category.
- NYC Library Lions, in the Fibre Art Network Chromatopia exhibit
- Floating in the World Wide Whispers exhibit
- Air of Elegance in the Teachers Lecturers Invitational exhibit

On Friday morning, I presented a lecture about my evolution as an art quilter. (Thanks to my sister Joan for the photos.) It was a fun lecture to present, and it was very well received.
On Saturday afternoon, I helped take down the national juried show quilts. It was fun to be a part of the behind-the-scenes action.
Now I’m looking forward to Quilt Canada 2023, which will be held in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Congratulations on your presence and your prize at Quilt Canada! I particularly like your “Magical Colours of Autumn” — it reminds me of the trees around me when I was growing up in SW Quebec. 🙂
Love the powerful perspective in the Big Blue Bridge quilt!!
You are such an inspiration! I hope you’ll share your presentation with the FAN group or SAQA Western Canada as I wasn’t able to attend Quilt Canada
Congratulations! I hope to get to Quilt Canada some day!
What a wonderful event. All my favorites — quilts, vendors, classes and lectures. Your Air of Elegance makes me wonder which bridge it is based on — or is it a bridge from your imagination. My thought is Golden Gate. But not being a bridge expert I have no real idea.
It’s the Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver BC, based on a photo I took. It is very similar in shape to the Golden Gate, although smaller. This blog post explains how I made it.
