Happy Canada Day and Fraser Valley Quilters' Guild 2017 show.

This lovely piece was created by Cher she did an amazing job of designing and quilting this Canadian flag.  she used fabrics that she drapped and had folds as any flag flying in the wind would have.

 The guild challenge was to use red and white and one random colour with the theme What Does Canada Mean To You?

 This was amazing to see in person.

 Some had words other had images.

 Such a magnificent country I'm proud to call home.

 The centre picture in the top row is the Peace Arch crossing that I often cross when leaving home.

 Beautiful images of Canada.

 Evergreen trees, and Maple leaves.

 Another one I forgot who did but love the green background.

 This was done by Fumiko using some traditional Japanese fabrics with a modern twist.  She got the Viewer's Choice and CQA award for it.

 I think this was a metallic satin that was ruched for the flowers.

 Love the hat and profiles she designed.

 Such attitude.
