The Pioneer Quilters Guild Quilt Show 2023
Please note: My weekly newsletter includes my blog post plus lots of other goodies – A Quilt of the Week, a good ole Snort Laugh, usually an article about another interesting artist plus additional content that varies. If you just follow my blog and not my newsletter, may I suggest you get my newsletter instead (which includes the blog post of the week)? This week I will be writing about my interesting Thanksgiving in my newsletter. You can sign up for the newsletter here.
It was a another great show for the Pioneer Quilters Guild! It is one of my favorites: it’s always a good show, the food vendor is always good, they have a great boutique and, it’s in the fall. How could you beat that? I just could narrow down my photos, so there are 42 quilts below, in no particular order. If I get a name wrong, please write me and I will correct it. I wrote just a word or two about each, about what brought me in to the piece. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoyed the show. I’ll be linking up at:
Thanks for all the photos. I noticed that you have a little error in your captions: the quilt with the sunflowers, sailboat and old-time bicycle doesn’t have the correct title and quilter’s name.
Thank you! Fixed. It’s a ton of work to do these posts and I am bound to make mistakes. I appreciate your eagle eye.
I read your snort laugh of the week in the newsletter. My daughter posted it earlier this week on my Facebook page. I responded: Sorry, not sorry!
I’m laughing just to read your comment! Have a great weekend Kay!
