It was in the evening of May 25Th that we all three of us attended the Opening Ceremony of the St. Jacobs Quilt Shows. because I was invited to the opening ceremony as a second prize winner of the Quilt Block Challenge, which was a part of the Quilt Shows. When we arrived there we realized that we were quite younger than most of the people attending there. Also my sister and I were only Asians, my brother-in-law, Chris Carey was only young guy there. but we were welcomed by the ceremony co-ordinator, Loretta Martin, who recognized me as soon as we went in. It was a really small community meeting kind of Ceremony. We heard very warm and funny personal story about a quilt life of one guest of the ceremony for a while, she showed us from her first quilt to the latest ones, telling heartfelt and hilarious stories involved in her quilt projects. and then the co-ordinator called winners to the front. It was a wonderful moment for me.
My quilt block that I challenged is the snowflake pattern with a blue ribbon on the right side of the vase in front of the quilt.
All the quilt blocks had been made a big quilt, which was so beautifully finished.
The finished quilt is going to be donated to the Ontario Mennonite Relief sale and Quilt Auction.
Sounds like a milk-and-cookie type event. :)
