2015 Show!

This week we had a great meeting to get ready for our 2015 Quilt Show!  As usual we have lots of great vendors, beautiful quilts, and lots of item on the members table and silent auction.

We will pull the name for out 2015 Camp Rainbow Donation Quilt at this show. (Luckily we still have some time time to get the binding on!)

3 Months!!!

M. Hunt, 2011 Show

This summer is speeding by - only 3 months until our show!  You should  start to see posters around town in the next couple of weeks.  And very soon, a big announcement!

S. Furgurson, 2011 Show

Less than 6 months now!

Hard to believe but there is less than 6 months until the show!  We had a meeting on Saturday and things are starting to really come together!

We have started work on our 2014 donation quilt...the photo above is a glimpse!  It will debut at the Quilt show in October!

2013 Quilt Show!

Pieceful Heart Quilters announces the dates for their next quilt show.  Quilting on the River: Threads of Silver will be held on October 11th and 12th a the North Augusta Activities Center.  In 2013 the guild celebrates its 25th year so expect lots of special exhibits!

Thanks to all!

Thanks to everyone who made this year such a successful show. There were lots of beautiful quilts on display, great vendors, and some wonderful guests who came to view it all!
Thanks as well to to the North Augusta Arts Council for their support of our show and to the North Augusta Activities Center at Riverview Park for all the hard work they do that makes putting this show on possible.

The judging goes on...

Judging of the quilts for the "Quilting on the River" show went on for most of the day today. Lots of beautiful quilts are making the judging difficult!

Make sure to come by the show this Friday and Saturday and see them for yourself!

Quilt Show Week!

Four more days until the Pieceful Hearts Quilts Show - Quilting on the River.

In the next few days guild members will be very busy over at the North Augusta Activities Center at Riverview Park. Tonight members will drop off their show quilts. Tuesday morning judging will begin. We have a lot of quilts and a lot of categories to get through! Wednesday Judging continues while the set-up crew puts up the quilt stands and readies the show area. And if that isn't enough activity...on Thursday the quilts are hung and the vendors set up. Friday morning at 10:oo the doors open...hope to see you there!

Quilt show update

Registration forms are in and we have over 200 quilts per-registered! Our judge this year is Susan Edmonson from North Carolina and if guild meeting "show and tell" is any indicator she has her job cut out for her.

We have some great vendors lined up. Something for everyone....

Quilt Show Registration Forms...

The quilt registration forms went out with the March newsletter. There are some new categories this year including "First Show" for some of our new quilters and several Professional categories for the quilt teachers and long-arm quilters in our guild. As with our other shows expect to see a wide range of styles and techniques!

Our demonstrations committee is putting together a program for each day so there should be plenty to see!

Show Postcards Arrived!

Postcards announcing the show arrived this week from the printer. They look great! We used the quilt that was awarded "Best Use of Color" in our last show on the postcard. The cards will go out in the mail to guilds in Georgia and the Carolinas in May. We will also send "stacks" to our vendors so they can give them to their customers over the summer.

(We used postcardprinting.com or these cards and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience.)

Six months and counting

Pieceful Hearts Quiltshow, "Quilting across the ages" is only six months away! May sound like a long time to some of you but in Quilting-years that is almost tomorrow.

So this is the time to get serious. The categories have been decided upon so the registration forms can be printed up and distributed at the May meeting. In the past we have had over 200 items. It would be nice to do more than that this time!
The challenge has also been selected. A few months ago a box of vintage blocks were donated to the guild. What a great jumping off point for an "across the ages" challenge. The blocks were washed, pressed and put into unmarked bags. You see none of the blocks are alike so we didn't want there to be any advantage to those who selected first or worse a "Filenes basement wedding dress sale free for all!" The Dresdan plate block above is a sample of the quilt blocks available.

The directions are simple - using the block in the bag as a starting point or inspiration make a quilt or quilted item less than 24 inches across. Pretty simple aye?!

Pieceful Hearts Quilters 2009 Show

Pieceful Hearts Quilters will hold their 2009 show on October 16th and 17th at the North Augusta Activities Center, 100 Riverview Park Drive, North Augusta, SC 29841.

Pieceful Hearts Quit Guild has about 70 members whose work represents a wide range of styles and techniques. On display will be everything from traditional bed quilts to heavily embellished wall hangings (and everything in between!) If one technique catches your eye check out the demonstrations program and you may have the chance to see just how it is done.

There will be many vendors on hand with quilting and sewing related items. If making it yourself isn't in your plans then make your way over to the members table where handmade items will be sold or the silent auction table. Tickets will be available for the Civil War Sampler Donation quilt. All proceeds benefit Camp Rainbow - this is a camp for children with severe illnesses.

As planning for this event continues we will be posting more information. If you have questions email us or leave a comment!
