Amber's cheeky attitude shines through every quilt she makes!

What a wonderful afternoon we had at the Spring Fling in Plenty yesterday! With temperatures reaching over 30 degrees celsius, most people gravitated into the church basement where it was cooler to sit and visit, sip coffee, and snack on home baked sweets. A soup and sandwich supper was served at 5:00 and the vendors selling goods seemed to be having a steady flow of customers. Unfortunately I have no photos of food or shopping to share with you as I spent my day upstairs with all the lovely quilts!

The Plenty United church was the most beautiful venue for this very special event, with the stained glass windows enhancing the quilts and vice-versa. The quilt show was put on by the Plenty Piecemakers Club that was started by yours truly about six years ago, with many of the quilts made as a result of workshops and challenges presented over the years. The amazing part about this exhibition is that most quilts you see were made by only three people – Janine, Amber, and myself. As you can see by the photos, we had no problem filling the entire church with a vast variety of ‘love-liness’.

The best part of my day was watching the expression on the faces of people as they entered the church and encountered the quilts on display. I swear their faces just lit up with joy!

As always, with love, carol

    Thanks for your lovely comments, Tammy. It definitely was an impressive display of work and really fun for me to see so many finished quilts from the classes/clubs that I had taught over the years. I felt quite emotional most of the day. xoxo
