In my last post I mentioned the outdoor quilt show in Moose Jaw. This is what we saw as we entered the park. It was my first outdoor show and I was very impressed. The quilts looked so nice in the bright dappled sunshine.
There were a lot of quilts hanging on clotheslines stretched from tree to tree.
This is the back of one vendor's booth.
This Celtic Knot was amazing. This is the front.
This is the back. It started out as all mottled gray. The color is entirely from the quilting.
Here is a detail of the intricate quilting on the background. I think I liked the back even more than the front!

Isn't that a great way to see quilts -- just flapping in the breeze!
I'd love to see an outdoor display like this. Wonderful.
I always wonder how stressed out the people are who put these together and have no idea of what the weather will be like. Looks like they had perfect weather for this one.
I am with you...the back on that quilt is amazing!
Beautiful. Yes I agree a great way to display quilts.
What a fabulous show of quilts! Lovely to see them all hanging among the trees.
I love outdoor quilt exhibitions. The colours look so vibrant! Love the quilting on that celtic knot quilt. I think the background quilting is known as 'McTavishing'. I can't believe how much quilting (and thread) went into that one quilt!
Nice! I love Moose Jaw and their quilt show is amazing! I hope you enjoyed the Temple Gardens. It's one of my fav places to go.
What a fantastic show! Thanks for sharing.
I DREAM of seeing a quilt show like this!! Thank you thank you thank you for sharing!!! The quilts are stunning...amazing...gorgeous!!! Hey...is MooseJaw mentioned in the "The Cat Who...." books???
I'd love to be able to see an outdoor quilt show - we'd never manage it here in the UK - after the first five quilts were hung we'd have to drag 'em all back in again out of the rain! I'm afraid a line of washing gets dizzy here the number of times it gets pegged out and taken back in again!
Talk about timing! Serendipity.
The quilts look amazing out in the open! Thanks for the pictures, Joyce. ;-)
