Quilt Show & Wood Show

We have soooooo many talented people staying at Palm Creek!!!

While walking through the dozens of displays this morning, I met up with a group of ladies from Robson.  They love coming to our events...especially the quilt show.  It is definitely a sight to see.

It's impossible to take photos of everything especially when the rooms are so crowded with onlookers.


The "Community Projects" is a favorite of mine.  The sewers make all these beautiful blankets, pillowcases, and baby clothes to give to the Women's shelters, foster kids, etc.  What a wonderful way to share their talent.






I'm also very impressed with the hard work it must take to get everything set up for the show.  There are so many finishing touches that add to the decor.  All the little end tables and dodads on display help make for a lovely show.


The auction is always a busy place as folks buy their tickets in hopes of winning some of the many prizes on display.


.....And then there is the wonderful Quilts of Valor.  How rewarding to be remembered with a labor of love.


Of course, Dolores was there again to provide music for the occasion.



This quilt certainly attracted a lot of attention.
Somewhere there will be a very excited young man receiving this masterpiece.


I loved the attached note.

Talk about talent!!!
There are true masterpieces coming from the wood shop!


Judy Clark is one of my favorites.  


My neighbor, Texas Eddie, is a familiar face at the woodshop.


Bob Hernick does such intricate scroll saw work!


Darryl's house is full of his master collection.


Beautiful auction pieces.


The wood folks seem to be a well organized group.  Auction tickets were sold along with a nice lunch.  Yellow t-shirts indicate the proud members.


Congratulations to one and all that participated in the events today.  Thank you for sharing your work with us and providing a great show!
