| Eureka Montana Quilt Show August 6, 2022 |
|
| The Eureka Montana Quilt Show has been a big event for the town since it started in 2005. I have served as the Registration Chair since 2019 and have truly enjoyed helping out. However, as of 2022, I became the new chairperson for the show - never knowing what a huge job that would be! Here are the highlights from this years' show, enjoy! | |
Fellow committee members at a planning meeting we held at the Historic Village grounds. |
 |
| Show day! Eric and fellow committee-member-spouse Dennis do all of
the high work when the quilts are hung early that Saturday. |
|
 |
 |
| Eric & Dennis in action. Poor Eric, this was how he celebrated his birthday! | More of the high hanging work by our husband heroes. |
 |
 |
| The show underway! | Quilts cover the entire Historic Village and stretch for about a mile up main street on all the buildings. |
 |
 |
| Some fairly unorthodox methods of hauling ladders were utilized. |
Street scene featuring one of Gran's quilts (the flower baskets) which
filled the spot of a quilt that was withdrawn at the last minute. |
 |
 |
| The quilt in the center of this shot was everyone's favorite, each
tiny block was for a different town in Montana. |
We had almost 400 large quilts and around 50 miniature quilts. |
 |
 |
| Looking up main street. The quilts stretch to just beyond the hill you can see in the distance. | The bunny quilt and the watermelon star are two of mine, and are part of a nice street scene too. |
 |
 |
| Even though I was very busy, I was blessed to be able to spend time with Larry, Mary Beth, and Katie. | As well as with Rose & Uncle Tim. |
 |
 |
| We also spent a little time with Jazzy and Noah, as well as many friends. | Back at the historic village. We were so glad to see a large turnout for the show! |
 |
 |
| These pictures are all of me with the quilts I entered in the show. This is called, "Flutterby" | This was called, "Garden Trellis." It sold that day. |
 |
 |
| This was called, "Sparkle Blue Lattice"
|
This quilt was made as part of the "Quilts for Heroes" program
organized by Bunny Franklin. Quilters make a patriotic quilt for the show, then they are all donated to the PTSD ward of the nearest VA hospital. This quilt was my entry, "American Diamonds." |
 |
 |
| This fun quilt was called, "Peppermint Christmas" and it sold that day. | The quilt on the left (the white one) was mine. It was called, "American Blossoms." |
 |
|
| Me with two of the baby quilts I entered into the show. Mary
Beth purchased the teal & tan one for a future grandbaby. So nice! |
