2024 Desert Guilds Quilt Show

We have wrapped up the Desert Guilds Quilt Show for 2024.  It was amazing to see the quality of the quilts that were displayed by members of our three guilds.  The comments of attendees, vendors and other guild members were wonderful to hear.  

Ribbons were presented by vendors, committee members and the show's executive board to the quilt of their choice.  Those quilts can be seen by going to 2024 Show Ribbons.  There were also quilts selected by the viewers.  They can be seen above or on the 2024 Show Ribbons' page. Congratulations to all those who got a ribbon.

Thank you to everyone who attended the show and shared our joy of quilting, the vendors and of course the guild members who volunteered and/or contributed a quilt to make the show the wonderful experience it was.
