A Quilt show and some mountain biking

Yesterday Bill and I headed for the Canso Causeway so I could visit the quilt show at St. Davids Church in Port Hastings , I can tell you it was well worth the drive , very impressive display of quilts and other quilted items . Lesley the Cuddle Quilter  is a member of this quilt guild and was one of many of the talented contributers to this display .I was so pleased to see that Lesley was present and gave me a personal guided tour of the quilts explaining who had made the various quilts, thanks so much Lesley , it was so nice to see you and spend time with you. Here are some of the beautiful quilts I seen ...

 This is one of Lesley's pretty quilts .

This is Lesley's Country Charmer quilt and I will tell you that pictures do not do this incredible quilt justice, it is just gorgeous , I was so happy to see this one up close .

Next is her Msytery quilt which was a BOM from Darlene Quilts, just beautiful!!

This beauty is made by another talented blogger Karen of Kaholly  , don't you just love it :-)

This lovely Underground Railroad quilt was made by Lesley's friend Barb , our guild did this one a few years back and is a favorite of mine.

I believe this one was also by Barb, a varition of the log cabin .

I can't recall who made this but this quilt is all hand appliqued as well as hand quilted and had won international awards and I can see why , it is so well done and the quilting just blew me away.

This sailboat smaller quilt was also by Barb , I am thinking a tourist will snap this one up :-)

Interstingly this one is hand appliqued wool on a wool blanket , I loved it .

This quilt is being hand quilted by the members to sell raffle tickets on as a fundraiser for the guild and some members made blocks to contribute to the top including Lelsey . I think this is full of scrappy goodness .

This is my attempt to show you how the quilts are displayed on the church pews , so colorful , I think a quilt show in a church is beautiful . To see more photos of this display be sure to pop on over to visit with Lesley right here  .
After the quilt show we headed on up to the Keppoch where our son Chad and family were enjoying some afternoon fun biking .

Getting ready to hit the trails and one of their neighbors is looking on.

Here is Chad and Elise as they cruise around the man made moguls , I think you would call these . Elise sure enjoyed this with her Dad and kept saying one more time Dad while Chad was saying this is tough to navigate with this bike .

This one is Nila cruising around having lots of fun and managing those hills with no problems . They are such a sport minded family , both girls took part in a triatalon in the morning , a first for Elise but Nila has taken part before . They had a great time.

Thnaks for stopping by today and hope I did not bore you with all these photos.
