BIG News!!

I have some BIG news and am super excited to share it with you!  A few months ago, I approached the New England Air Museum (NEAM) with the idea of hosting a Quilt Show at their facility.  They did not hesitate and said, YES!

We have had several meetings to firm things up and now we have dates, lecturers, and volunteers!  I am tickled to be heading this up and am looking forward to a more than fabulous Quilt Show!

I also created this button, which you can grab from my right sidebar and place on your blog to help spread the word.  

This event, I must admit, was begun with a wee bit of selfishness on my part.  As some of you may know, my husband's hobby is flying and mine is quilting.  He flies his plane whenever he can, and of course, I quilt whenever I can.  So I thought, how cool would it be to combine these two loves at a place that we both love? 

On Saturday, we held our first volunteer meeting at my home and here are the totally AWESOME ladies that are part of the Team for NEAM.  There are quite a few that are not pictured here as they were unable to make it that day.

Here are some of the details we can let you in on right now:

If you belong to a guild and you wouldn't mind submitting this information to them to put into their newsletter I would greatly appreciate it!!

Remember the Total Eclipse class I taught just a few weeks ago.  My student and friend, Sally of Grendelskin, is volunteering to help with this event and she brought along her completed (quilted and bound) Total Eclipse.

She did a phenomenal job!  This WILL be hanging in the show, right Sally??? 

Here is her awesome back... made from the scraps that were leftover from the blocks.

So if you would like to see more amazing quilts like this one, please join us in September, 2012 at the New England Air Museum for this one of a kind event featuring beautiful quilts and a large and fabulous collection of planes.  This will be an event for the entire family to attend, something for everyone! Hint, hint, we have things for the kids too!

If you would like to enter a quilt or to advertise in the program, please send me an e-mail. Don't forget to go here for more information about the show and the museum.
