Flora and Fauna Challenge Exhibit

It took some doing to hang 33 quilts, but the display of this year's challenge quilts is up and it is spectacular!

The display, at the Richmond Memorial Library,  is usually during the month of February. Due to renovations at the library, the Guild was rescheduled for July.

The "Flora and Fauna" theme was interpreted in many ways.

From flowers in the garden....

To  creatures of the animal kingdom...

 To legends and fantasy!

 We hope you will visit the library and enjoy the quilts up close.  Members are invited to choose their favorites to be awarded ribbons for several categories.  All visitors are encouraged to vote for their favorite, if they can choose just one, to be given the "Viewer's Choice" award.

                                  If you can't get to the show, please enjoy these pictures.
