We had another fabulous exhibit at the Lowell Quilt Festival this year. A huge thank you to our Show Chair Andrea and everyone who volunteered their time and energy to make this show the success that it was!!! We truly cannot do a show of this magnitude without your help.
We had 51 amazing quilts on display, including several from our Madrona Road challenge, some of the completed Quilts for Boston quilts, and an incredible 12 entries for the Red Nails challenge.
And I love that we are the kind of show that let's you touch the quilts;-) People were truly fascinated not just by the bold, graphic designs but the intricate quilting that adds another layer of texture to these stunning quilts. Many people also mentioned to me how much they loved being able to just soak up the details of the quilt. Something to remember during our usual show and tell, don't be so quick to put your quilts away. People really want to see them!
You can see all the quilts in our Flickr group but the photos really don't do them justice. Several of our members have also done blog posts about the show. Definitely worth reading for those who just can't get enough;-)

I will own it, that's my husband touching Hema's quilt, but he just couldn't believe the stitching! Thanks volunteer ladies, for making the BMQG portion of the festival happen - I've seen most of those quilts at meetings, but it's not as satisfying as seeing them all up close and in person and for as long as I wanted. I feel lucky to be a part of this group!
