Recap of the show

Before the show

What a wonderful show! We had a great turnout of visitors, with some coming from up to 100 miles away. Perfect weather, great vendors, great boutique, we couldn't have asked for more.

The Statesboro Herald did a nice piece on the show on their Studio Statesboro.

Here's a little recap of the show, in pictures.

It's today!

We had a very busy day yesterday, hanging the quilts, vendors coming in and setting up, getting the judging finished, then setting up the boutique.

Wow, it's a great show. The quilts fill two rooms of the Honey Bowen Building, plus the lobby and some in other areas. The guild boutique is full of great items, like pincushions, purses, stuffed bears, potholders, Christmas ornaments and much more. Did we mention books and magazines?

Our vendors started arriving with the most beautiful fabrics, on the bolt, and fat quarters, kits and patterns. So many beautiful things to choose from.

Here's a peek at the show and boutique. It's going to be a great show, hope to see you there!

Less than two weeks away!

Thanks to the Statesboro Regional Library for allowing our guild to set up a display case with information on the quilt show. A group from the guild set it up yesterday and it looks really great.

More than 160 of the 200 quilts will be judged, with recognition in 13 different categories, including pieced, applique, mixed technique and art quilts. There are separate subcategories for quilts quilted by others, including longarm quilting, and those quilted by the quiltmaker.

The show will be judged by nationally known quilter Jean Ann Wright. The former editor of "Quilt" magazine currently edits "The Quilting Quarterly," the journal of the National Quilting Association, and has taught classes and judged shows around the world. Her quilts have appeared on the covers ot "The Quilter" and "Quilter's World" magazines.
