The quilts are all hung, the ribbons attached. Our guild members have been busy today “getting the show on the road.” Well, not on the road, but ready for viewers to enjoy.
Here are some teasing photos of ribbons awarded. These ribbons are awarded in ten categories by votes from guild members. Some quilts have more than one ribbon, being blessed with bling. All the quilts there are wonderful, and have stories to tell.
It’s no surprise that the most decorated quilt is a Baltimore Album quilt by Joyce Jones. Joyce is ninety-something and is a shining light in our sisterhood. She reminds us that we are never too old to learn, to teach others, and to set a good example. We all hope to be like Joyce when we grow up.
I wrote about Joyce when this quilt was in progress here.
I’ll share more stories later, but for now, enjoy some sights from the show. These sample images might whet your appetite. We are hoping you will come see us at The Methodist Childrens’ Home (the Rumford Center), 304 Pierce Avenue, Macon. Hours are 10:00 until 5:00.
