The National Juried show at Quilt BC 2013 was absolutely inspiring! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take photos in the show, so I can't show you any of those quilts! But the Invitational show was also breathtaking and pictures were allowed there! (I apologize for the quality of the photos, these were taken with my phone!)
From their website, "the
Fibre Art Network (FAN) is a co-operative of self-defined artists based in Western Canada. The co-operative was first conceived in
the spring of 1998 by British Columbians Pat Crucil and Gail Hunt and then
organized later that year by Gail. The group is committed to promoting
fibre as an art form and each other as artists." This group of creative quilt artists had some great quilts on display.

Quilt shows are a feast for the senses and this show did not disappoint! Quilters are pushing the boundaries of what most people think of when they hear the word "quilt" and many of the quilts on display were beautiful pieces of art!
