Stitches in Time 2024

 

The show has come and gone- so quickly after all the months of preparation!  (Isn't that how everything goes??)  Many Many hands were involved in the planning and at the show. We should all be proud of ourselves for working together so well!!  (Pause for you all to pat yourselves on the back.)

When I arrived Wednesday to drop off my quilts, the racks were up and the first quilts had been hung.  It's so exciting to see the transformation from empty room to quilt show!  As she has done the last few shows, Cathy Schmeider did an excellent job laying out the room and the quilts.  (The rearranging the quilts once the judges made their choices)

I heard from quite a few of our visitors (and a couple of the vendors) that they look forward to our show because it is such a well done show, with such a variety of talent, techniques and skills on display!

If you were unable to come see the show, you can visit the photo album here.  There are no names on the pictures, as I took them when the judges were working. (that's what the blue is on the labels- posties covering the names)   I hope I got everyone's quilts.  If I missed any, it was unintentional, and due to interruptions and then quilts being moved.  Please let me know if your quilt was left out.  

Again, a big thank you to everyone who helped, or entered a quilt.  A special thank you to the visitors who make our shows worth all the work! See you in 2026!
