Good Friends Quilt Show Taking Place in Garden City, Idaho

It has been a crazy few weeks, getting everything ready for our quilt show.  It has been up and running for a week and a half.  We have had tons of people come through.  I am wishing we had put a guest book out for comments from attendees. 

Here is Astrid selling raffle tickets for the quilt Kirsten donated.  
Jane was monitoring the quilts.

So many quilts to see!  This pink and brown beauty is a Stack N Whack quilt.

Good Friends Quilt Show!

Our "Good Friends Quilt Show" is a labor of love.  We have all been working tirelessly to get it going.  Tomorrow is opening day!

Astrid brought in a ton of clothespins, that Edna and Carol painted.  We want to display our quilts in style.
Flashy clothespins, oh yeah!
Marsha and Norma working together.

We really do need a step-stool, but that blue chair worked out just fine.  We worked hard all day. We got the skirt on the table, the raffle quilt ticket collection box fixed up, and all the quilts hung.  Tomorrow, Friday, August 16, 2024, is the opening day of what we have named the "Good Friends Quilt Show."

It is at Expo Idaho in the South Exposition Bldg, August 16 thru 25, from noon to 10 PM each day.  Please come, we would love to see you there!

Kuna Days Parade!

Guess who made it back up to Idaho?  Edna got here in time to be in the Kuna Days Parade with us.   That was last Saturday, the third.

Kirsten and Edna waving to the crowd.

There were six of us on our amazing quilt float this year:  Edna, Kirsten, Norma, Astrid, Marsha, and Jane.

Here is Marsha and Astrid between Jane and Norma.

Kudo's to our driver, who did an outstanding job this year; gradual slow-downs and speed-ups, with no quick take offs or sudden braking.  It was a fabulous time, with lots of folks on the street-sides, with a genuine air of festiveness.  We all went out to lunch, with Carol and Annita, after we finished the route.
