Here are some pictures from a great quilt show in Vernon. Some of my friends and I did a road trip today to Vernon today and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. There were so many quilts that it almost became overwhelming!

On the way home we drove around through Salmon Arm and Sorrento. The Sorrento Centre was hosting the display of African themed quilts by the Glacier Grannies from the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island.
This is the description from the Sorrento Centre web site.
Art Quilt Exhibit: "Turning the Tide... one ripple at a time"
Friday, October 1 (2-7 pm) - October 2, 3 (11 am- 4 pm) - Quilts created by members of the North Island Quilters for Community Awareness on display. The theme - "Turning the Tide...one ripple at a time" - stresses the changes that are occuring in sub-Saharan Africa as a result of the generosity of Canadians. For more information on these beautiful works of art please go to glaciergrannies.org. The Glacier Grannies are a group of dedicated women from the Comox Valley who raise funds for the Stephen Lewis Foundation's Grandmother to Grandmother Campaign.

My camera batteries died, so I couldn't take pictures. The display was incredible and really worth seeing. They are travelling across Canada through the winter and I would really recommend seeing them if at all possible.
