Modern Quilt Entries - Houston Show

A new member of our guild just sent some exciting modern quilting news! 

The International Quilt Guild hosts the quilt show in Houston each year (possibly the largest quilt show in the country?).  For the 2012 show, they are having a "Modern Quilt Guild Showcase," which will highlight a selection of modern quilts!

If you are interested in entering one of your quilts for consideration, please click HERE for instructions.  Quilt entries must be received by March, 2012.  It sounds like an incredible opportunity to be included in a prestigious quilt show!

As an aside, this might also be a great opportunity for our guild to enter a group quilt for consideration.  It would be great to discuss it at our inaugural meeting THIS Saturday morning at Stitchcraft!  See you soon.  :)

Palm Beach Quilt Show!

Save the Date:  the Palm Beach Quilt Show is coming to town on November 10 - 12, 2011!  You can find their official website HERE.

Here are photos from quilt shows that Mancuso Show Management presented in other cities.  Looks fabulous!
