I’ve been on holiday for a couple of weeks and thought I’d show you some photos I took at the event ‘Quilts In My Garden’ organized by the Runaway Quilters Guild of Meaford, ON. The quilts were creatively displayed throughout the grounds of six spectacular gardens! The event seemed to run very smoothly and the weather was perfect!
