Our Quilt Show is over!
Three years of work was on display and it was really impressive if I say so myself. There were well over 100 items from queen size bed quilts to a little teacup and saucer in our Box Top Challenge. We set up on Friday and the show was open Saturday and Sunday. The time flew by. The show was very well attended with people admiring the quilts, stopping for a tea, coffee and goodies in the tea room, shopping for lovely handmade quilted items in our boutique, buying fabric and notions from our vendors, perusing the silent auction and of course chatting. The noise level gradually rose throughout the day as we all greeted family, friends, neighbours and quilters.
Our Guild Banner now has more quilters on it. A few members still have to finish theirs. Our banner was hanging outside the hall for all to see.
All our awards were Viewers Choices voted on by our quilt show attendees. Many people said they had great difficulty deciding.
