BRQ Quilt Show 2009

Welcome to the Backroad Quilt Show 2009. This is to give you a taste of the day we had. It was pouring rain. These signs are quilted and made with velcro on the arrow so we can put them pointing either way.

This is the entrance with a Fall look!!

Below: Pumpkin hanging were a chapter workshop recently also pictured are handbags that have been done.

Carolee sang 'Quilt Diva' plus some other songs she wrote about quilting. What a joy she brought to the ladies. She sang with recorded music and also a couple with her guitar. A talented lady!!

Sarah Ann Smith - A Maine gal....Artist-Author-Quilter-Teacher who demo. and signed her new book "Thread Work Unraveled"

Can't have a quilt show without vendors and a place to spend our money. This is a view of 1 of 4.

This is Koleen Painchaud's corner..she designs her own patterns, and I did not realize but took many pics of her quilts in the show...check out her website. She also has retreats for quilters.

Some of the charity quilts that our club did that will be distributed after the show. My Granddaughter Alli who also had done one.

Ameriquilt with Star Spangled siggies by Karen Viega.
Ameriquilt was created as part of an online Y2K group swap in 1999. That swap resulted in the exhibit Y2K Quilts" A MILLENNIAL CELEBRATION which was featured at the 200 International Quilt Festival in Houston. The quilt features 200 squares, rectangles and triangles and 100 signature squares representing all 50 states, Washington D.C. and many U.S. military bases around the world.
