Quilt Canada 2025 was held at the International Convention Center in Mississauga June 18-21. I felt it was a resounding success. The Quilt Show itself was extensive as well as the talent and the beautiful quilts and the merchant mall housed over 66 vendors at last count on the CQA website. I spent a total of 3 days and 2 evenings there. Thursday June 19 , I demonstrated Beautiful Botanicals Free Motion Quilting (an upcoming class) and Quintessential Qmatic both in the Qseries Long Arm machines. I also did a short demo on Silly Moon Rulers. I have a photo dump below of the photos I have from my work on the merchant floor, my haul of goodies and more.  My favorite quilt in it's category - so well done!   Also Loved this appliqué quilt, an appliqué masterpiece There were many, many, many other quilts I loved but did not a picture of the credits tag so could not post. Congratulations to all the winners, you blew me away with your finesse and talent!
The show seemed packed. Especially Thursday and busy the rest of the time so I’m thinking it was a financial success as well. I’m just one person in thousands but Canadians are eager for quilting, sewing, arts & crafts and showcases of this type. I'm happy to say I'm teaching next year at Quilt Canada 🇨🇦 in Winnipeg, Manitoba next June and I recommend you attend. I'll post details of my classes (of course over and over within the next year😛) stay tuned! I hope you enjoyed my review & Happy Thursday!❤️ Just sharing with y'all a fantastic retreat I experienced recently. I am no longer a retreat virgin! This was my first retreat and it was so much fun! The retreat was held at Hidden Acres Retreat Centre in New Hamburg, ON and ran for 4 glorious days! We all worked on individual projects. I was able to get all of my 4 patches sewn for a yearly block of the month I am working on, finished a back pack project, made 3 easter baskets,2 easter projects and completed block 3 for my block of the month! I am happy to have had concentrated time to get this done along with lots of giggles, shop hops and fun with friends!! Oh and the food and snacks were fabulous too. A photo montage of events (most is participant work, a wee bit of mine as shown below: Happy New Year! If it's your goal to get to know your machine better this year then this blog post you might want to read. I wrote a blog post to begin my journey with my BERNINA 790 PRO Stitch Book on the BERNINA International Blog Sewing a Stitch Book with Decorative Stitches Part 1 and have finished my stitch book and wanted to share other tips with part 2. This will give you all you need to get started and to finish a stitch book . Check it out here.  Sewing a Stitch Book with Decorative Stitches Part 2 Hi everyone, I know it's just after Christmas now and I am "better late than never" with my holiday message. I wish that this season, everyone has time to relax and enjoy each other as I just did with my 5 sweet grandchildren. Hence the lateness of this message. They were all here at various times with their parents (my 2 girls and spouses) and I enjoyed every minute of it. My house was a mess, dishes, laundry, food and toys strewn everywhere but we were all happy, warm and loved. No sewing happened, my sewing machines were lonely, not a creature was stirring in my studio space. Below is a photo of the only Christmas sewing/embroidery I did this year, some small gifts for friends and my sister a week or so before Christmas. I hope to do more gift sewing in 2025 and you know I will post all about it, either here in this blog or at BERNINA International's blog here: blog.bernina.com/en/?s=Robin+Bogaert  pin cushions and change purse embroidery on my BERNINA 790 PRO. Designs from Sweet Pea Embroidery What I am currently working on, some free standing lace with my BERNINA 790 PRO  Playing with Free Standing Lace- 11 designs in the MAXI Hoop! Wishing you all the Best for a Happy New Year and much love, health and happiness in 2025.
Please take time to rest, relax & rejuvenate because you and your family are worth it!❤️🤗 |
