On Sunday May 25, I volunteered at the Heritage Park Festival of Quilts. This is Western Canada’s largest outdoor quilt showcase. Before this, I have no idea what a quilt was. This festival impressed me a lot and change my ideas about quilting.
The entire Heritage Village was decorated with different quilts, each with unique pattern. A quilt is definitely more than a blanket.
It was my first time visiting Heritage Park, and I think it is super awesome. Some may believe it to be boring, but I view it as unique. The entire village brought me back in time with staff dressed in period costumes. It was amazing to explore the village with the quilts outside and inside the building.
Within the sales tent, I discovered how quilts are made in modern technology and also the traditional ways of making quilts. Different vendors sold unique pieces of quilt materials. This brought me back to when I was a kid and my grandma showed me those sewing work she had done. This was a special experience. It inspires people in many ways. Check out Heritage Park upcoming events and experience it yourself.
