  1. On behalf of the Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild, thank you! It's a thrill to see photos of our quilts in the show, especially since only three of us made it down to Portland! This was our first public exhibit and we're motivated to host our own show in Vancouver now. Glad to hear you liked our exhibit!

  3. Thank you so much for your posting Bill. This was my first show and it was so exciting to be able to show alongside all the other amazing guild members. I was thrilled to see that you had posted photos of two of my quilts and sent the link to your post to my mom who I'm sure will be thrilled as well. All the best, Jo-Anne.
