| Eureka Montana Quilt Show August 6, 2016 |
|
| My poor husband was totally upstaged this year
- the Eureka quilt show landed on the same day as his birthday. His
birthday celebrations had to wait until the show shut down! This is
a huge event in the area, a really fantastic quilt show. This year
there were just under 700 quilts on display all over the town. I
tried to take a picture of every one, but don't worry, I didn't put that
many on this page! |

| Eureka! by Sheri Butkowski from Eureka, the pattern was designed by Jackie Robinson. |
Here's Rose in the corner of the shot as we approach the old Rexford Depot |
 |
 |
| Eric & Rose at one of the historic cabins. They joined me for about 2 hours of the day. | This quilt is my pride & joy. It was hand- pieced and hand-quilted
by my Gran (Dad's mom) about 30 years ago. It is a work of art. |
