The Grand National Quilt Show
Coming in 2013
"Local Colour"
For our tenth Grand National we are becoming a biennial exhibition. This provides our Canadian quilt artists plenty of time to be working toward the 2013 theme, Local Colour. We expect that artists from coast to coast will chose to memorialize some aspect of their local community – some colourful personality, some festival or event, some familiar scene or dramatic natural phenomenon. Watch our website for additional information regarding Local Colour.
The 2011 GRAND NATIONAL, "Balancing Act", opened on Sunday, May 15 and ran through September 11, 2011. At the opening the 2011 awards were presented. To view the winning works click here. To view the entire show, click here to view our online catelogue.
The GRAND NATIONAL is an invitational quilt exhibition that celebrates both tradition and innovation and which, this year, was presented by the volunteer Committee in partnership with the Joseph Schneider Haus National Historic Site. Also partnering with us in 2011 was Janome Canada. Thanks to Janome we have a print catalogue available for purchase.
