Getting settled in Wolfville
02 Apr 2012 2 Comments
The boxes are almost all unpacked. House almost in order. Just ordered some new appliances. Now with spring arriving we will get to see what pops up in the garden amongst all the rose bushes.
I have one major regret. With Quilt Canada 2012 happening in Halifax this May there has been great opportunity for me to participate in many of the concurrent quilt shows. I have decided to do none and released the guilt I was feeling about not participating. Husband and House are the priority this year (yes he is still home on sick leave)(but doing very well)
However, I did manage to squeak my way into Quilt Canada via the program cover design and the poster. And I hope to be there in May – it will be an awesome event – the Local Organizing Committee are fantastic. Guaranteed to be a brilliant adventure in quilting and fibre – do not miss it! www.quiltcanada2012.ca

Textile Show and Sale

Thankyou to all the folks who came out to the wine and cheese party at Foxy Moon. It was a lot of fun. As promised here are some photos of some of the pieces – not all (there were 22 in the show). They are a collection of my textile musings. I have been asked to do workshops in the new year, so once we are settled in our new home I will post a schedule.

Yes, we are very excited and happy to report we bought a house in Wolfville!! Moving in December, hopefully before the snow flies…
I will have a nice roomy bright studio to have workshops in and textile play days. Will put up a schedule in the new year.
To all my friends in the Halifax area – you are all welcome to drop by for a visit and cuppa. More info to follow.
Eclectic Collection Show and Sale

I have pulled out a pile of UFO’s (UnFinished Objects) and finished them off for a:
Textile Artwork Show and Sale: Nov 9 to Dec 3, an eclectic collection of textile explorations by Kate Madeloso, Nova Scotia quilt artist & designer. Nov. 9 to Dec. 3rd at Foxy Moon Hair Gallery, 2725 Agricola Street, Halifax Tues, Wed: 10am – 6pm; Thurs, Fri: 11am – 8pm; Sat. 10am – 3pm
There are about 22 pieces, most of them are new and include more of my embroidered quiltart. A little bit whacky but if you like texture and detail, well, you will enjoy the fun I had.

The Grand National Quilt Show in Ontario has published their catalog for this year’s show ‘Balancing Act’ which I have two pieces in. I was up against some pretty tough competition – have a look…

Art Hits The Wall

We had a lovely opening ceremony at the Rossignol Cultural Centre in Liverpool, NS for the 5th Art Hits the Wall event. Barb Robson has posted an article on the Mahone Bay Quilters blog, so please visit http://www.mahonebayquiltersguild.com/2011/07/art-hits-the-wall.html.
I have been on the committee for the past year with Linda Alderdice and Colleen Paton and we are indeed relieved that the show is up and will be until Aug. 28th. Hope you get a chance to see it. There are some really lovely pieces and we are in the process of having a full color catalog printed and available for sale.
