Lynn from Decades not only was our quilt stager but she is a fabulous seamstress as well. This creation is made from doilies, handkerchiefs and other heirloom pieces.
The quilt show was held in a two story building so we were able to hang quilts from the second floor loft.

I made the Harley quilt from 40 T-shirts. It was a surprise gift to my husband for Christmas 2000. I kept taking t-shirts from his closet hoping he would not notice that any were missing. When you have over 100 Harley t-shirts how can you keep track. After a while he did notice that some were missing. I think some of these were his very favorite ones to wear. We visited every place that the shirts represent from Sturgis, South Dakota to Hawaii.
It was a great quilt show and just goes to show what a few women with vision, inspiration and energy can accomplish. I'm already looking forward to next year. I can't wait to see what workshops the committee comes up with.
