WFQ Show - thanks to all volunteers!

Londa wants to give a personal THANKS to everyone who volunteered for the quilt show in any capacity!

Many hands make light work and quilters seem to know that, instinctively.  

So graciously accept Londa's appreciation as we, in turn, appreciate her willingness to step into the coordinator role when it was needed.  Good vibes all around!

 

WFQ show - Bed Turning!

One of the most popular features of our quilt show is always the Bed Turning!

Teri Bever and her team put together a collection of local quilts that help illustrate the history and art of quilting, with explanations about the construction and variations. 

This year's theme was "Journey from old to new" with vintage and contemporary versions of various quilting patterns. 

Most presentations were "standing room only" as everyone loves a good story!

And, as Teri says, "the journey to being a quilter starts with a single stitch."
