If the quilts shown at the February Guild meeting "show-n-tell" are any example of the quilts that will be at the Festival of Quilts, it will be one fabulous show! (Of course!)

Our quilt show is one of the first spring shows in New England. We usually have over 150 quilts on display, including those made by guild quilters, antique quilts, youth quilts and quilts made from MLQ block of the month winners.

Many guild members, their families and friends were affected by tropical storm Irene that devestated parts of Vermont. Recognizing that quilts not only can tell a story, but are also are a way that quilters process through events, the Guild Challenge is “Irene: Putting the Pieces Back Together”
A Silent Auction of select challenge quilts with proceeds to Benefit the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund is planned in conjunction with the exhibit of challenge quilts. The only requirement for the challenge is that two specific fabrics (available from the MLQ Challenge committee) be included and that the item consist of three layers, secured together. Preregistration is required.
