"Ice Fishing Village" - 1st Place Group

After the cruise ships leave, a deep freeze comes to La Baie, Saguenay, but that doesn't stop people from enjoying life. Ice Fishing Village shows you just some of the activities that continue once the cold arrives. Para-gliding on skies anyone? Biking in the snow? And don't forget Ice Fishing...Take a look at all of the tiny little details.

Ice Fishing Village
by Brigitte Villeneuve of Jonquiere, Quebec, Canada, with Diane Cote and Doris Boivin won First Place - Group at the Houston International Quilt Festival 2018.

I love Wysocky prints and this is very much in the style of his work.
Very nostalgic and has the same feeling of community and family.
Lovely piece of work.

Is this quilt likely to be on show in Edmonton Quilt Fair this year? June 2019? Thanks

Beautiful! Much the same as here in Alaska. But I haven't seen anyone para gliding on skis yet! We do have fat tire bikes in winter, and portable pop up nylon ice fishing houses to protect people from the wind! Beautiful Work of Art!

This quilt is absolutely stunning. It rightfully deserves 1st place, these ladies are remarkably talented. I was very disapppinted when it did not receive best in show along with the people’s choice award at Quilt Canada. Well done ladies!
