Montpelier Exhibit Continued

Included in the exhibit is the fish quilt which the group made many years ago.  I did a fish, but I'm not sure which one I did.  Vicki W. quilted and embellished the quilt.  We plan to donate it to a non-profit organization which can put it on display. The quilt measures 83" by 65".

                                                                 CSQ Fish Quilt

Nancy P. traveled to Alaska and made the following quilt with fabrics that she purchased during her travels.  It also includes many photo taken during the trip.

Forty folks signed the "guest" book.  All had positive comments, however, I especially liked the one comment.  "I love the fish quilt.  They are truly passion from the heart."

I know that more folks saw the exhibit.  The first weekend in September, the "Gospel Chicken" house was at the center.  Mystery Bingo was held on September 27.  There was a large wedding on September 28, and a bridal shower on September 29. 

Montpelier Exhibit September 2013

Our exhibit at the Montpelier Center is a fond memory.  Here are pictures of the exhibit.

On Labor Day, September 2, 2013, many members helped hang the exhibit.  Estelle P. had received the entry forms, and had a plan for where the entries would be hung.  The process of measurement and hanging began.

Betty B. and Mary S. are on the ladders and Peg S. is holding the quilt to be hung while adjustments are made to make sure the quilt is straight.

Julie V., Betsy S., Becky B., Linda M., and Eileen B. made sure it looked proper.  Estelle P., Carolyn M., Nancy P., Karen A., Carol C. and Elsa B. were there to assist, too.

Vicki W. Symmetry series are shown below.
