As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, there are three quilting groups in our park: The Patriotic Quilters, The Creative Quilters, and the Texas Quilting Grandmas.
The Creative Quilters hold a quilt show each season to display their work and to raise money to buy materials for the charity and veterans quilts that the other two groups make.
The members of this group are extremely talented and have won prizes for their work at other quilt shows both here in the RGV and at fairs near their summer homes.
This small group of quilters (around 10 members in any given year), had over 200 items on display at this year’s show!
Each year, they also hold a raffle to raise funds.
Hubs’ name was drawn for one of the prizes at this year’s show.

Photo Note: Because I took so many photos at the quilt show, I decided to make a collage of just a few of them for my feature photo vs posting each one individually. (I try to be conscientious about the amount of space I use on my blog, so it serves me over the long term without having to delete posts to make room for more)

These quilts are beautiful! And lucky you guys for winning one! The quilts are truly a work of art. Now will this snowman quilt stay in Texas or go back to Canada?

They surely are works of art and in addition to the one we won, we were gifted quilts by friends here. We’ll take all of our quilts home to Canada and then bring them back this fall, Betty. They’re all treasured keepsakes so we want to keep them with us to be sure nothing happens to them. The snowman quilt will be displayed in our TX living room for the month of December. Thanks for reading and commenting and have a great day!
