Quilt Show 2020

  sad face

We are incredibly sad to announce that there is no Quilt Show this year. This is the first time in 11 years that we have had to cancel and please be assured that it was not an easy decision to come to.

We have some family issues happening right now and we have to put that as the priority. I have had my cry, my vent and my Cheezie puffs and wine but it is what it is. Life hands you lemons and you make lemonade. Just wait until you see what is coming for next years show!

Thank you to everyone for your understanding.......but if you are still wanting a quilt show to go to check out the Salmon Arm one listed below!

Knitting and Spies??

  knitting and spies

I know this is not quilting but it is still Fibre Arts and the story is fascinating!
Can you imagine these women knitting secret codes into the garments for the Partisans in Europe? Amazing but true!
Pour a cup of coffee, put your feet up and enjoy the read of some truly courageous people!
