Reminder: August 15th Swap Post and Sign ups
My local guild,
The Clamshell Quilters had their bi-annual show "Quilts all Around the Town" this past weekend. The creativity of the show is why I decided to be a member 2 years ago.
The show is set up like a town, with themed shops. Members hang and decorate their shops. We also donate and arrange all the flowers in the show.
Hanna and I were the owners of
Oh Baby Baby! The little dress in the corner was Hanna's coming home from the hospital in 1993.
Quilts of Valor This was around the corner, but still part of the
Christmas Shop.
Fall HarvestThis was Hanna's favorite quilt - She just may start quilting one day.....
This was Viewer's Choice - the only award given and so well deserved.
My Happy Town was part of
The Art Gallery.
Block Party was one of my favorites. It was presented by Steven, our past President and Quilt Show Co-Chair.
Far East Shoppe
Antique ShoppeRadiant Stars - I loved their props.
The Paper Moon was a great touch.
My Star quilt was part of
Paper Pieced Goods on Watercolor Way.
Mother's Garden was on Clamshell Cove Rd. I had a little gallery talk about it. Don't you love the "Do Not Touch" sign?
South of the Border (you can see my Hot Flash) around the corner.
This was a lovely shop -
Memories with Memoral Quilts.
Here was our Chocolate Lovers Basket. Hanna and I had fun putting it together and the winner was thrilled.

Here is a Halloween basket that we didn't win.
The Movie basket we didn't win.
The other Halloween basket we didn't win......12 baskets - we were skunked!
The show also had raffle quilts, boutique, vendors, mystery bags, Hoffman Challenge exhibit, demos and a magazine giveaway.
Have you ever seen such a clever way to have a guild show?
Congratulations to all the guild members who put on such a great show~
