Wow! What a week end!!

Attendance at our bi-annual quilt show was tremendous! Thank you to all those who worked behind the scenes to put on what could well be our most successful show to date! Winners of the Viewer’s Choice, the challenge, door prize and raffle quilt will be posted soon. For now, enjoy the best of the best – our Viewer’s Choice and CQA Rosette winning quilt, “Welsh Beauty” This stunning whole cloth quilt was hand quilted by Dryden’s very own Nel De Porto! Upon receiving her award at the sold out Saturday night banquet, Nel shared that it took her 2 months of 6-8 hours per day to complete the quilt. Apparently, she plans to stitch a matching quilt this summer ‘at the lake’!
