I'm baaaaaaack

Well, I wasn't really anywhere, just here.  

It's been busy.

It's quilt show weekend!

Thimble Pleasures Quilt Guild is hosting it's biennial Quilt Show.

March 8-9, 2014 10-4

Blackstone Valley Tech High School in Upton, MA

. . . There will be lots to see . . .

. . .  pretty quilts . . .

Above is Sandy's,

below is Dorlores'.

 . . . groups of Round Robin quilts . . .

Below is mine, it's a row robin.

 . . .Youth Quilt Exibit . . .

Which is one of my personal favorites. 

I was delighted to mentor my little friend this year.

 There will be plenty of shopping with 17 vendors. 

 Silent Auction items.  

And the boutique with handcrafted items, gently used tools, books, patterns plus more.

I had fun making up some hand painted kid's artist totes to put in the boutique.

The raffle basket table is always a fun table to visit.  

Take a chance, I hope you win!

And our Special Exhibit this year is

Sweet Dreams.

 In support of a few of our members and friends who have lost a child 

over the past few years we are supporting

Bereaved Parents of USA.

As a measure of solidarity members have crafted pillow cases to be sold in pairs.
You are not alone.

Proceeds from the sale of the pillow cases will be donated to Bereaved Parents of USA.  A non profit self-help group which offers support, education, encouragement and hope.

And last but not least don't forget your tickets for the Raffle Quilt Pictured at the top!

"A Quilter's Garden-Where Friendship Grows"

(winning ticket pulled Sunday March,9)

Hope to see you there!
