June 7, 2010 – Freedom Star Block #23 – Gold Star for Virginia Block
Gold Star for Virginia
A gold star is awarded to everyone who participated in the Quilter’s Unlimited Quilt Show this weekend. Much hard work was done by the show committee and all the volunteers. Many thanks to all the quilters who placed a quilt for display in the show and to all the teachers for sharing their talents with us. A special thanks to all the quilt collectors and vendors who hauled quilts and merchandise into the Expo center in the 85 degree heat on Thursday. And of course, thanks to all quilters who came from near and far to enjoy the beautiful quilts and shop at the vendors mall. We hope you enjoyed Quilt Show 2010.
