Quilts at the Creek 2013!

Blue skies dotted with fluffy white clouds.  A gentle breeze with pleasant temperatures.  Lots of delicious quilts decorating buildings and fences.   A delightful day!

 

Here are some photos for you to enjoy.

 

When you arrived, this is the feast of a sight you saw!

If you look closely you can see children visiting the museum testing out walking on stilts!

Of course I hyperventilated when I walked through the door and saw this one!  A quilt from Black Creek Pioneer Village’s collection.

The curators of the show took enormous care in choosing what quilts to display were and created visually enticing vignettes.

Roblin's Mill.  The only working stone mill in Toronto.  It is presently not grinding flour, as the water wheel is being replaced.  The last time it was replaced in 1985, the new wheel weighted 6000 lbs.  The new wheel should be in place this fall and then the Mill will be fully operational again.

    oh, thanks for sharing. I loved it last year, but was out of town this year (and oddly, Black Creek didn’t get around to sending out a notice until the day before the show started).
