Quilt Shows Are For Everyone
I entered my quilt, Canoe Paddles , in the Sisters Outdoor Quilt Show and while I would have love to be there this weekend I couldn't make it but by the miracle of social media and some very helpful Instagram quilters I got to see my quilt! Maybe next year I can talk my parents into a camping trip to Bend, OR the same weekend. Canoe Paddles at Sisters, OR Doesn't it look great there, ok I'm a little biased it's been one of my favorite quilts for a while now. This was the first time I had a quilt in a show I didn't attend. It was a little scary like letting your baby spend the night away from home for the first time, well not that I know about that... yet. Canoe Paddles at Sisters, OR Believe it or not, Canoe Paddles is a Quiltcon reject but whether a quilt is accepted or not into a show does not change the value of that quilt to the maker, and (most of the time) others. When you go to enter a quilt in a show it is important to consider the venue
