Jefferson's Country Quilt Show IX

Quilt Show IX held on March 31 and April 1, 2007

Our most recent biennial quilt show was held March 31 and April 1, 2007, at the East Rivanna Fire Station at Glenmore, just east of Charlottesville, VA. Pam Desmond and Mona Houle co-chaired the show, which all agree was a resounding success. We had over 150 quilts displayed and over 500 attendees, making this event a wonderful opportunity to share our craft with the larger community and to raise funds to support our guild. Many thanks to all of the members who worked so hard to make this show a success. And a special thank you goes out to the husbands who lent their skills to the quilt show setup and takedown.

Our show also included a silent auction of quilted items made by guild members, a merchants' mall, a raffle quilt, the results of several challenge contests, and viewers' choice awards in six categories. The show featured a special commemorative exhibit of the quilts made by long-time member Joan Crump, who passed away in 2006.

2007 Challenge Quilts

Each quilt show year, the guild issues a challenge to its members. This year's challenge quilts featured baskets "stuffed" with things that represent the quilter and her life.

In 2006 our quild participated in the American Quilter's Society contest for their Nashville show. The challenge was to make a small quilt whose title included the word "WILD".

In the two years since our last show, several chapters have sponsered "round robin" groups. These included the traditional center medallion type and the row-by-row type.

Viewers choice ribbons were awarded for large, medium, and small quilts, as well as for each challenge category. Each person attending the quilt show had an opportunity to vote for one quilt in each category and one best of show quilt. We are pleased to display the winners here:
