We are in the midst of the Bitterroot Quilter's Guild's show and what a wonderful display of quilts it is. I was really pleased to see how many people entered art quilts in the show this year. They are having a silent auction and I donated two wall hangings for that:
Hopefully the guild will make some money with the auction since everything is donated. The bidding quite often gets interesting at the end of the show so I'll be keeping an eye on it tomorrow afternoon!
I worked at the show all day today and will be working tomorrow for most of the show and then meeting a friend to walk around and view it a bit. Ribbons for Viewer's Choice and the Challenge quilt winners will be posted so I look forward to seeing who the winners are. There are some wonderful vendors to visit and I already bought some fabric and, of course, some beads! This is always one of the best shows in the area (this year is no exception!) and I'm proud to be part of it.
I have to get the picture of my challenge quilt from my dad so I can post it here for you. Will try to get that up in the next couple of days. They indicated that it one a ribbon but I don't know quite what yet. I don't know exactly how they judged them but I think there are several ribbons being awarded. It was a very fun challenge to participate in. Some of the other pieces are really wonderful and I'll try to get some pictures of them tomorrow to post here with permission!
Have to get some rest now so I'm ready to go for a long shift at the show tomorrow. Come back soon for more pics!

How did your donated quilts do in the show? The show was fantastic. I loved all the art quilts. Very good show.
Looking forward to your next post!!
I don't know what the final amount was on my donated quilts, but they went for at least $50 each based on the last time I saw the auction sheets. The guild made a decent amount from the silent auction in total so it was a success.
I'm glad you enjoyed the show---it is definitely one of the best shows in this region. A good variety of works and excellent quality of workmanship.
Thanks for the comment, Michelle!
