quilts designed by Michele Hill

Juried into two National Juried Shows – Paducah, Kentucky and Canada

Posted by marionmeyers

There’s one really big quilt show in Canada put on by the Canadian Quilt Association and called “Quilt Canada”. This is a juried show of about 85 or so quilts. This year the show is in St. Catharines, Ontario in June 2014. I had my quilt Floating in this show 2 years ago. This year I entered two quilts, Friends and Retired Not Retiring. Friends is a large wallhanging designed by Michele Hill of Australia. It is raw-edge machine applique (if anyone knows how to get WordPress to add an accent, please send me directions!) The other quilt, Retired Not Retiring, I designed for my brother and sister-in-law to give as a gift in honour of their retirements and a big move to a custom-designed modern home in Goderich, Ontario. I’m SOOO excited! And to top it all off, they both got into the juried show called “Quilt Week” that takes place in Paducah, Kentucky. Richard and I went to this show last year and they had about 400 quilts in the show. I’ll be travelling to both shows this spring – who can resist seeing your quilt hanging at such wonderful shows!

I designed this quilt for my brother John and his wife Barb, when they announced their retirements and the big move from Toronto to Goderich. It's made of hand-dyed fabric and is my original design. It's a bed quilt and is perfectly square - but it's hard to get it to hang straight on a skinny metal pole! Click through to see more detail photos. Or check my Blog as I may post more photos there.

This William Morris inspired quilt was designed by Michele Hill. It is raw edge applique finished with a machine blanket stitch. I LOVED making this one. It took two years. People ask me how long it took and I really should track the hours as I make this type of quilt. Next time.
