The Northwoods Quilters held their Biennial Quilt Show April 2-3 at the Marinette Rec Center. Vendors were selling sewing notions, material, sewing machines and barn quilts. There was also a boutique with handmade items for sale and attic treasures with used items at super savings. Mini raffle had over 30 smaller baskets with a wide variety from a homemade doll bed with miniature quilt and doll to wine and cheese. A bed turning was offered along with hourly demos.
Over 250 quilted items were on display for viewing. Winners were: king category, Donna Miller, Dixie Thoyre and Roxann Mosure; queen/double, Donna Miller, Kathy Shepro and Sandy DeBruin; twin, Jinny Ruleau, Sandy DeBruin and Donna Miller; crib/lap, Nancy Meetz, Laurie Landree and Kathy Shepro; wall hanging/table runners, Laurie Landree, Kathy Shepro and Peggy Schroud; and bags/purses: Wanda Carlson, Kathy Shepro and Sheryl Schrout.
Judging were Chris Kinderman, Cindy Moore and Tammy Walters. Viewers’ Choice Award went to Pam Bonner with her king-sized “Grandmother’s Dishes” quilt.
There were over 30 winners of smaller items with the grand prize of a queen size quilt going to Linda Stewart of Menominee.
Northwoods Quilters is proud to serve our community. This is our only fundraiser held every other year. Part of the proceeds will be donated to the Rescue Squad and the homeless shelter. Remaining funds are used to purchase supplies to make quilts for other organizations’ fundraisers and to help people suffering great loss.
