What a beautiful quilt show! Many thanks to all the show committee members, and all the members of Sinnissippi Quilters who worked so hard to produce this wonderful show. It was truly ”Out Of This World”! Thank you to all who entered their lovely quilts for judging and display, it was a spectacular sight to walk into that large space filled with beautiful quilts. Thank you to all who donated items to the Silent Auction and Lovable Leftovers, and to everyone who worked and volunteered their time and efforts in many ways to help make our quilt show a success. Also, a big thank you to all the men who helped us with set up and tear down. We received many compliments on the theme of the show, on the special exhibit of Fly Me To The Moon Quilts, and the gorgeous raffle quilt. We will have all the final totals in the coming weeks. Again, many thanks to all!
