Lethbridge Festival of Quilts

Happy Friday. Today was day 1 of the Quilt Festival in Lethbridge. I was at the show almost all day, I just stepped out to grab a few things from our shop and a coffee from The Chrysalis Cafe. It was a busy day at the show, I was told they even had to open a second lot for parking, because the first was full, and they have never had to do that before so that was great.
I loved meeting so many new people as well as reconnecting with friends.
Esther and I also did a presentation this afternoon. actually Esther did the presentation and I stood there nodding, and occasionally holding up a bag for her. Anyways our presentation was on Bags, and how the interfacing and hardware you use can transform your bag. We showed off some of our favorite bags as well.
I had a chance to walk through the show as well and there are some gorgeous quilts on display, and lots of vendor booths to do a little shopping at, some of them are local, but there is a good number of vendors that did some travelling to attend the show as well.
If you didn't make it out to the show today I highly recommend that you take some time to go out to the college tomorrow and browse through all the booths as well as look at all the beautiful quilts on display. If you do get there be sure to stop by our booth and say hi, and to take a picture with Mrs. Peck our new mascot. If you take a photo with her post it on Instagram with the tag #mrspecksadventures or post it as a comment on our Facebook page on the Lethbridge Quilt Show post, for a chance to win a gift basket from our shop.
Everything in our Booth at the Show and in our shop in on sale 20% off for the festival as well.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend. I am ending my busy week with a mini soccer tournament for my boys tomorrow morning and helping out either at the shop or at the show in the afternoon.
On a totally different topic altogether, I spent the day at Beauvais Lake yesterday on a field trip with my oldest. I haven't been to Beauvais for almost 20 years, but it is a park that I need make a point of visiting more often, it was so beautiful there, and my son loved the hiking and looking for frogs and tadpoles in the reeds around the lake. Have you visited lately? What parks around here do you love to visit?
