Much to our delight, and to the delight of our hundreds of visitors, the 13th Annual Festival of Quilts featured a record 67 show quilts and 69 auction quilts. Each and every one of the quilts were truly unique and amazing and made for quite a show! We thank all who provided these beautiful quilts.
