Quilt Canada 2017

Congratulations to our guild member Rennie Hickey for her prize winning quilt "Refuge" at Quilt Canada, the Canadian Quilters' Association (CQA) national juried show in Toronto, June 14-17.

"My garden is my refuge for 3 months of the year and I often feel inspired by it for my creative endeavors!   I wanted to capture how sunlight brings my garden to life and so this quilt came to be.  I used raw edge applique, thread painting, and Inktense pencils in the making of this quilt."  -- Rennie Hickey
