2009 Quilt Show
Make Plans!
On March 21-22, 2009, the Southern Comforters will host their annual quilt show at the C. Elizabeth Reig School, Bowie. Based on
our raffle quilt design, our theme for the show is the beach. We will be incorporating the beach idea into many aspects of the show:
decorations, challenge quilts and more. The show will be a bright spot as the dreary days of winter are ending. Please join us.
Hours are Saturday, March 21, from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sunday, March 22, from 11 AM to 4 PM.
Directions
are available and parking is free.
A perennial favorite, this quilt show showcases the talents of local quilters. Attendees are invited to vote for their favorites in 10
different categories:
- Large Appliqué (1 person and 2 person)
- Small Appliqué
- Large Pieced (1 person and 2 person)
- Small Pieced
- Art Quilt – an original design
- Novice – made by a person who has been quilting for 3 years or less
- Group Quilt – made by 3 or more people
- Miscellaneous

grandmother hand pieced and hand quilted.
