Quilt Show brings artists and community together

The art of fabric design and the craft of turning it into fashionably functional pieces will be honoured again at the 4th Annual North Shore Quilt Show on Sunday, April 14 at the Holiday Inn on Tranquille Road, across from Heather’s Fabric Shelf. Featuring intricate handiwork ranging from placemats and totes to wall art and the old-fashioned quilts we are familiar with, the fair will showcase quilters from beginner to professional and even non-quilters who are sharing family heirloom quilts. “There is no judging or entry fee – we just want people to have a good time looking at a lot of quilts,” says Heather Fagervik, who organizes the show alongside her husband, Bill, and owns Heather’s Fabric Shelf. “We’ll have pieces by quilters from all over BC ranging in age from kids who’ve made their first quilt with Grandma to seasoned veterans of the craft.” Alongside the colourful quilted eye-candy will be vendors like Caroline Good and the buttons she handcrafts in Chase, and Donna’s Yarn and Craft with her latest wools and patterns. Already happening in the store is a trunk show by Alberta’s Three Swans – continued on page 2
