As can be plainly seen in the above photos, the 2008 Quilt Makers produced a wide variety of beautifully done quilts.
Those who participated as well as those who attended, certainly had to be impressed by this year's show entries.

We are already planning next year's event. We hope that you will find time on your schedule in October 2009 to
be in attendance at the show. If you are a quilter, please check with the Pioneer Library Staff to determine
the quilt categories for 2009 so that you can make plans for your entry. You may be one of next year's winners!


Thank you to all who were a part of this year's show!
