First MPQ Meeting of the Year

Traveled to the Manitoba Prairie Quilters meeting with Annette and Marj. There we met up with Yvonne and found a table in the crowded church hall, about 180 quilters!!

The meeting introduced the executive, each member describing their own personal quilting addiction - batiks, taking classes, purchasing fabric, collecting patterns, etc. Very humorous!

Then a display of all the ABC quilts made over the summer, dozens and dozens. Ending with show and tell where we saw dozens of amazing quilts people have made for family and friends. Very inspiring examples!!
Here is the MPQ raffle quilt.  It really is gorgeous!

Various ABC (Adult, Baby, Child) donation quilts.  I love the one in the centre!

A ring of donation quilts around the 180 quilters in attendance.

The next three quilts were my favorites during Show and Tell time at the meeting.

1.  Gorgeous sampler quilt!

2.  Funky stars quilt.

3.  Interesting design.

Another raffle quilt:
St Francis Xavier quilt guild raffle quilt.  I really hope I win it!!
