Heritage Park, Calgary

I’ve been here in Calgary since Monday.

Thursday and Friday I taught classes for Heritage Park. It’s the Iron Quilter Challenge this morning and I’m speaking at the Gala Dinner this evening.

So, what is Heritage Park? It’s Canada’s largest living history museum,taking visitors back to the turn of the twentieth century.

From the Opera House, where Festival set up was taking place…Lots of quilts!Past the Cottage Hospital,the barracks,the Rectory,next to St. Martin’s Church,down past the elevator,
to the railroad.There’s even a merry-go round,
beautifully restored,and a windmill on the rise.Say hello to Patches, the cow.Sort of appropriate when there’s a quilt show in town?

Speaking of quilts….Just a few in the log cabin display.Hung from the rafters.We’re on the fair weather plan which means that there will be quilts hung all over the village, both inside and out.

A little risk taking is good for the soul!

Too much fun in Canada, eh?
