Our 2023 quilt show, “Quilts Tell Stories” is in the books.  Again, we are humbled and grateful for all the help from Guild Members, husbands, sons, grandsons, daughters, granddaughters, cousins and probably even neighbors from down the street. 

I see parallels between a full Thanksgiving dinner and the setup and tear down for our quilt show.

Thanksgiving dinner takes all day to prepare and fifteen minutes to eat.  The quilt show takes 10-12 hours to set up and 45 minutes to tear down, with another 30 minutes getting the quilts back to those who brought them in.   

In 2023, we presented just under 300 quilted items, vendors, a great boutique with many hand-made items, and a bed-turning with 17 quilts that had stories.  For the first time, we accepted quilts from quilters outside our guild.  It is not known, at this time, whether that will be the case for the next show two years from now. 

Stay tuned for more information.
