Their quilt show was last weekend. The Monday before, I checked the weather. Rain! Yikes! I continued to watch the forecast, and it changed frequently from rain, to cloudy, to downpour, to partial sun. Thursday and Friday, it rained buckets, and I wasn't holding out much hope. Saturday wasn't bad, though - just a few sprinkles. I went to see the show on Sunday, and it was glorious!
Sunshine, blue sky and the perfect temperature for walking around.
Look at that sky! These are the vendor and special exhibit tents, with some of the outdoor quilts under canopies to the right.
I entered a quilt in the show for the first time - my Stars Around the Garden quilt. Here I am with the quilt.
Do I look maybe the teeniest bit excited?
Here you can see it (behind the pregnant lady) with one of the old houses in the background.
This is a non-judged show, but I did get a little ribbon for being a first time exhibitor.
I won't put all my photos in here, as it would really bog down the old blog. But, if you want to take a look at all 80, you can go to my flickr page.

oh wow. Thnks for the link to your flickers photos. next time I visi Calgary, I must visit Heritage Park even if there is n't a quilt show at the time. your quilt is lovely.
Thanks for posting all the heritage park pictures. I went to the park on Saturday, and most of the quilts were inside, so I loved seeing them hanging on a beautiful day!
I completed my Freckles quilt as well and have had it on the bed. Yours is just lovely.
We left the Calgary area, just as the rain started! So happy to be out of that - but sad to have had to miss the quilt show! Love your quilt, what a beauty!
Wow, what a lot of beautiful quilts!! Too bad I missed it... perhaps next year.
Congratulations on your entry! LOVE your quilt!!
