2015 Quilt Show

Last weekend was my guild's annual quilt show. It was the 35th year the guild has sponsored a show. The quality of quilts was amazing but attendance was low. Here are a few of my favorite quilts.

Another thing happened during the show and it was special. My mother made a quilt that the Quilt of Valor organization presented to my nephew, Jeremy.

Here are the two quilts I entered this year.

I didn't win a ribbon but I made one of the special ribbons- it was for the Best Novice quilt.

The quilter who won it was a friend's daughter.

My sister, Marian and I also sponsored the Just for Fun ribbon which was won by our friend, Sheila Rauen.

It was fun to work the show but very tiring. Next year I plan to not be a committee chair. I have been a chair for the last six years including last year when I co-chaired the whole show with my friend, Cyndi Herrmann.  I just hope they have the show. There are a few members who want to have the show every other year which I feel will make the show become less important and devalue it. Let's hope they keep it going.
