Prairie Fest Quilt Show 2023

 Yesterday I went to the Prairie Fest Quilt Show.  I try to go every year (lots of posts on my blog from previous years).  This year I put 5 of my quilts in the show.  Here are previous photos of the quilts I had in the show (I didn't take photos of my quilts this time).

Here are some of the quilts from the show.

Because this is in a small space, they lay some of the quilts over chairs.  

they even have a book showing where they got the quilt blocks from

I'm slowly making one of these OhMyGosh! quilts myself

More quilts.

hand quilted in purple thread, lovely

made using paperless paper piecing technique

I forgot to take a photo of their raffle quilt this time.  Lovely hand quilting on it.  The quilt show is hosted by The Quilter's Dozen, a group of hand quilting ladies.  Many of these quilts were hand quilted.

They also have a few display cases showing off sewing related items.

As usual, it was a nice show.  

My large quilt guild meeting was Thursday night.  Back in 2019, Kevin Huffman (Kevin the Quilter) came to both of my quilt guilds and taught classes (blog posts here and here).  At the large guild, he taught crumb piecing and Crumb Stars.  Eileen finally finished her Crumb Star quilt and showed it off at the guild meeting.

I'm off to Ladies Crafting at church!  I hope you have a great Saturday!
