Summer at the Lake, by Joan Dupuis-Neal, won viewer’s choice honours at the 2018 Quilt Reflections show, presented by Manitoba Prairie Quilters. This year’s show runs April 11-12.
Around 100 to 120 quilts will be entered into a judged competition, while others will be displayed simply to be admired.
Quilts will be showcased in a variety of categories including hand-quilted, two-person quilts and the Arlene Crabbe Memorial Youth Quilts – a heartwarming collection of quilts created by the next generation of quilters, all under 17 years old.
“We will also have vendors from across the prairies, a boutique with handcrafted items for sale, and silent auction baskets designed to appeal to all,” Dupuis-Neal said.
Every year MPQ selects a different charity to support through it challenge quilt program.
“This year, members were given set fabrics and asked to create a quilt with a transportation theme. These one-of-a-kind quilts are then auctioned off with the proceeds supporting the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation,” Dupuis-Neal explained.
With up to 2,000 attendees, Quilt Reflections is a vibrant event that welcomes everyone — from seasoned quilters to those simply looking for creative inspiration.
“Quilt Reflections is a wonderful opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts, learn new techniques, and celebrate the artistry of quilting,” Dupuis-Neal siad..
Event will run place April 11 and 12 at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre. For more information, visit manitobaprairiequilters.ca or email mpqnewsinfo@mymts.net
