Faithful Circle guild held their show in Illinois this weekend. I took some pic's, not a lot as my camera ran out of battery.
This guild was the 1st place winner in the "group quilt" category this year in Paducah. They were raffeling off the winning quilt!!
I visited the vendors but all I came home with was a loaf of yummy Zucchini bread from their bake sale!!
Will take me a while to up-load pic's. Bear with me.
One of the things they did was a "Featured Quilter". I'm embarrased to say I cannot remember her name!! She hand pieces and hand quilts. She had about a dozen quilts on display, and my camera ran out of gas :)
First up - 2 quilts from the Featured Quilter
OK - all pic's posted now. Enjoy!!
