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

Look what came in the mail!

Things are really starting to come together for this year's show!

Our postcards were delivered this week so we can really start getting the word out.  

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!

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....

Starting to get busy....

Just a bit over 7 months until the show. While that may seem like a long time those of you who have put on shows in the past know this it is time to get busy!

Our advertising postcards went to the printer today. Each year we have such wonderful quilts but not as big an attendance as we should so this year we are really going to put the word out and see if we can't double (yes, double!) the attendance from our last show. First step was getting out postcards professionally done. So far the printer we are using has been really good to work with...I'll let you know!

Also our vendor coordinator says the contracts for the vendors went out this week. She has verbal commitments from several and it looks like we will have a good variety. (Because what is a quilt show without quilting stuff to carry home!)

Date Change!

Due to a conflict with both the Georgia Show and the South Carolina State Quilter's retreat at White Oak we are moving the date of the Pieceful Heart's Quilt show back one week to the 14th and 15th of October.

Quilt Show Set up

The past two days the quilters of Pieceful Hearts have been working hard to get the gym at North Augusta Activities Center ready for their quilt show. All the quilts have been turned in and several areas are already to view. Judges quilts have been staged for the judge to work on today (which will be a very difficult job since there are some really stunning quilts in that group!) Nonjudged quilts were hung last night as well as the two challenges: Breast Cancer Awareness Bra Challenge and the Orphan Block recycle Challenge. The creativeness of the this group never ceases to amaze me...

Registration forms are in!

During our September meeting last Saturday member of the guild handed in their registration forms for the the quilt show and as hoped it was quite a stack!

One of the strengths of this guild is the variety of techniques - everything from heavily embellished "postcards" to historic reproduction quilts will be on display at the Activities center show. A quick look at the registration forms and this show will be playing to our guild's strength and should have something for everyone!

If you are visiting the area there are some other activities that weekend you may be interested in seeing. At the new North Augusta Heritage Center the guild will be displaying about 20 bed-size quilts. Admission is $3. and includes a dislplay by the local fine art guild.
