They took over a large room at the library, then had a vendor in a smaller room... I didn't take enough photos...
First there were two ladies sitting at the welcoming table. A guest book to sign, then they had fabric business card holders - we were to pick one to take. Then there was a bowl ready to accept donations.
In the hallway, they had stacked examples of charity quilts they had made - with a note on where they were to be distributed.
In the show room we were awed by the display of quilts! I noticed several had been quilted by my friend, so that is when the camera came out...
This is the same double 4-patch design used for my Put a Little Love in Your Quilt Blog hop Heart Quilt. So beautiful pieced in this color way, and the quilting makes it really shine!
I got to see this quilt when it was in the quilting frame. She used a ruler to do the initial curves, then did the swirl and feathers free hand!
The hanging quilt on the left is the opportunity quilt - tickets were $1 each! My fingers are crossed for this beauty!
A beautiful quilt made in honor of someone.
Wish I had taken more photos...
They were also selling fabric members had donated. The fabric chair had $1 fat quarters arranged by color folded in clear boxes. She made two different sizes $4 and $8 of jelly rolls put together with fabric and colors. There were a few $3 yard and two yard cuts of fabric too. Very, very nice. I bought a few fat quarters for a friend in quilting class who has not been feeling well.
So this is an event to look for next year to return to be inspired again! Very glad I found out about it this year!
Those hand-quilted half feathers are perfect for the four patches! I'm glad you were able to get such detailed photos of that. Looks like a really neat exhibition :)
