Pioneer Quilters Guild Show – 2024
NOTE: I am not sure whether I will have a blog post or newsletter next week. I will play it by ear. Sign up for my newsletter here; it includes my blog post PLUS a lot of other goodies.
The Pioneer Quilters Guild show is one of my favorite local shows; there is always a wide variety of talent, a fabulous boutique, good food and good vendors. And, they had a chocolate vendor this year! Makes me wonder why other guild shows don’t have a chocolate vendor. I mean…quilters…chocolate; what a good match!
I noticed how much more elevated the quilting was overall over last year even. It just gets better and better. This is not a judged show, so there are no ribbons. I am not presenting these in any particular order. If I had unlimited space I would have close ups of many of these quilts. There is just so much beauty in the detail. Here we go:
Please note – there was another beautiful Boho Heart in the show. I literally flipped a coin to decide which one to show.
Pretty good show, no? I’m looking forward to next year!

Thanks for these beautiful pics! They are all amazing, the quilting is wonderful and has given me many great ideas for how to quilt projects.
Wonderful that you found inspiration Linda!
Thanks Jenny,
It was great to see so many of the quilts again , one by one.
It was a fantastic show!
Yes, it was a great show! We are lucky to have so many good shows in our area.
There are some real stunners in this show. So exciting to see members enhance their piecing/applique work with quilting that enhances the image.
Yes, I was blown away by the level of quilting with a large number of quilts quilted by the maker
What an eclectic selection! The little doggie was so charming, and the “Flower Farm” reminded me of an antique cross-stitch sampler — both in its layout and in its colour palette. I admire *anyone* who can do a pineapple quilt — I tried one block and failed miserably! And the “Red Planet” has such a calming effect — sort of “zen”, if you get my drift. One question, though. What was the purpose of the large black “W” on “Why I love California”? Does it stand for “Why” or…? Just curious.
Glad you enjoyed the show Margaret! The “w” was part of an alphabet challenge.
Lovely quilts. The quilting is original and outstanding. Your influence, no doubt. Thanks for posting. Del Thomas
The quilting was spectacular! I don’t take any credit, it was inspiring to see a whole show with fabulous quilting.
What a beautiful show with fabulous work! I could never pick a favorite. I’m wondering why it isn’t judged.
Lots of guilds choose to not have it judged. Some feel that it affects the comradery of the guild, some feel that it’s too costly.
Jenny, thank you for sharing. I too am amazed at the quilting!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it Robin!
Thank you for a visual tour of the quilt show! I came down with Covid upon returning from Houston, so was unable to attend the show. What beautiful photos of quilts!
Oh Bummer Mary! Hope you are better by now. I loved your “states” quilt and the story along with it. Be proud of your guild – it was the best show yet.
