Blast of Baskets - Day 3 winding down!

Here are a few - and I mean a FEW photos of the 250+ quilts on display at Blast of Baskets.  Just to show you what a great collection of quilts we had and to whet your appetite for next year! 

If you are even remotely interested in becoming a quilter, we are all here to help you and encourage you to get started!  Some of our newest quilters won ribbons this year, and we're so proud of everyone who entered a quilt or two.

The list of winners will be published in a separate post.  In the meantime, enjoy this mini-show!

 

 

Building prep for Blast of Baskets!!

Today we cleaned the building where our show will be next week!  No one wanted to clean it over the holiday weekend...so we picked today.  Everything is now spic and span and smells like disinfectant!  We had a great turnout - only a few are pictured below - and the work was done from bathrooms to floors to windows in about two hours!  Thanks to every one who came. 

We are so ready for Blast of Baskets to begin!!

 

Here is our quilt show venue - all under one roof!

 

Emily vacuums with determination!

 

Londa made room for the vacuum!  Vroom!

 

 

Jennifer was smiling until I told her to look serious. 

 

Kimberly and Judy O did windows!  And many things...

 

 

Linda volunteered to work in the bar...

 

There were break periods.  With donuts. 

And, of course quilting on site!

Creating the right atmosphere for Blast of Baskets!

Raffle Quilt Reveal - 2015-2016 - Blast of Baskets!

Here are the photos from the "reveal" of our new raffle quilt!  It is called "Blast of Baskets" and was made by members of Woolley Fiber Quilters and quilted by (also member) Heather Rogers.  Heather puts just enough quilting magic into everything she does!  We used three basket patterns and members decided on their own basket fillings and whether or not they wanted to add a basket handle.  So there is a fun variety of blocks and artwork! 

Tickets will be on sale at Cascade Fabrics in Sedro-Woolley and from any WFQ member.  You'll also see this great quilt at the Skagit County Fair in August.

The quilt is 88" x 90".  Drawing on June 4, 2016, at 4 p.m.
