Quilt Show

Hi Everyone

We are just finishing up the final day of the quilt show here in Fresno.  I only did one day and I am glad as my feet are still hurting from standing all day!    I had a blast as did everyone else and I believe in the first 4 hours we had over 500 visitors.   I volunteered for the guild’s Country Store for 2 hours and then did security at the end of the day.  There were a lot of beautiful quilted items there and about 20 vendors there selling anything from fabric to comfortable shoes to work in!  This is the first time I had done a show and there is a lot of hard work involved in getting it set up and taken down again and the ladies in charge have this down to a science.  Good thing we only do it every 2 years! In fact, I go back this evening to pick up my quilts.  I actually entered for the very first time 4 quilts and am still excited about it!  

I tried to download the DVD of the show so I could share but apparently it’s protected somehow and will not allow me to make a copy.  Sorry about that.  But I do believe that if you go to sjvqd.org in the next day or so, you can view the pictures there online.  But I do believe that if you go to sjvqd.org in the next day or so, you can view the pictures there online. Just go to quilt show on the blog and it will direct you.

Thanks for letting me share.  I will chat more later.

Hello and welcome to my website! My name is Donna. My hubby and I are retired. We have twin daughters and are blessed with 4 grandchildren. We are owned by a cat, Purrl. who loves to supervise and is very nosy. I have been quilting since 1996. In addition to making quilts for my family and friends, I also make charity quilts for Marjoree Mason Center and Valley Children's Hospital. Marjoree Mason Center is a local organization here that helps and supports battered and abused women and children get out of abusive relationships. Every Christmas I make several baby quilts for the women, with a small stuffed animal or toy. I also belong to the San Joaquin Valley Quilters' Guild here in Fresno. Since I retired, I have been trying to finish most of my UFOs, but my stash is way out of control! I have lately gotten into designing quilts and enjoy that even more than sewing them! I love colors of all types and consider myself to be a true scrappy quilter and I do love playing with designs. I am the owner/moderator of Scrappy Quilters on Facebook, where we are very active with many mystery quilts, challenges and swaps. I welcome you to come by and check us out at https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrappyQuilters. Thank you for dropping by and I hope to see you again soon.
