Quilt Show A Success

The 2007 Stars Over Abilene Quilt Show was one of the biggest and best we have ever had. There were over 210 entries. Nineteen categories were represented, the largest being the machine pieced, machine quilted division of large quilts, where there were 52 entries.

 

Unfortunately, however, the complete listing of winners was misplaced . With the help of several members, we have attempted to recollect the results.

 

Viewers Choice were as follows, but many of the Members Choice group are unknown. If you received a ribbon or know who did, please let us know.

appreciates Vicki Craig and the members of the Abilene Quilters Guild who
helped decorate the Elmdale Baptist Church Fellowship Hall while working
there on a quilt project the Saturday before our annual Memorial Day Worship

lovely decorations. We salute you!
