The River City Quilters’ Guild 2026 Show
The River City Quilters’ Guild is one of the largest in the area and they always put on a great show. This year’s show was exceptional. They had not had a show in 3 years so there was a backlog of great work to be shown.
I assisted in the Judging Room and got a sneak peek at all the talent. I couldn’t wait to see the hung show and I was not disappointed! Please note, it was sooooo hard to narrow down my photos. Even at that I have processed and posted 77 photos! I forgot to take photos of some of the cards and also I had a few bad photos, like normal.

Wasn’t that a great show? I’m looking forward to next year’s show.
I’ll be linking up:
Nina Marie’s Off the Wall Friday
Jenny, thanks for telling me about this, I am so disappointed that I missed it. What a great showcase of quilts!
You would’ve loved that show!
Thank you for these great photos! We are already planning our next show!
I can’t wait!
You missed, or neglected, my favorite Sunbonnet Sue quilt. 😆
None of the above, it was an adorable quilt! I took 165 photos, then loaded them up, went through and chose 65, took each one of those into Photo Shop, cropped and fixed them, then loaded that into my blog post, went back and found the card that went with each, added and typed that information into each photo and made that into a blog post. My choices are very capricious or I would have posted 165.
Thanks Jenny, such wonderful quilts.
Oh so glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks, Jenny, for sharing these photos! Many more of us got to see the show!
