Whew! The quilts are down and back in the box! Actually not literally
in a box, I roll mine, 4 or 5 at a time, on a tube and cover them and
store them in the loft of our little house.

The Quilt Forest Walk, which we mount for the
Denman Island Studio Tour,
went really well for us. We had over 150 visitors (wow!) to the forest
and we chatted all day - about our favourite subjects (quilts, fabric, sewing), we visited with
friends and family, we ate well, and we even sold a few things.
Stacey and I hung 45 quilts in the trees this year, with plenty of help from our spouses, family and
lovely farmer-neighbours who
came at closing time on Saturday to take down all the quilts in case it
rained, and came back again on Sunday morning to hang them all back up
again.

Good friends, John, Oli and Stacey. |

Playing nicely together. I made the quilt in the centre, and Stacey made the other two.
I will keep posting a few pictures at a time over the next little while. Then it will be like walking through the forest, coming around the bend to see the next "gallery". Enjoy! |
Love your Quilt Forest! Very inspirational - 45 quilts up. Wowzers - well done. And 150 visitors - fantastic. Keep it up, you islanders - I'm so envious.
