The Cobblestone Quilters Guild Biennial Quilt Show – A Celebration of Quilts 2012 is almost ready to begin!!  Every two years we descend upon the Gaillard Auditorium in downtown Charleston, SC and cover the exhibition hall in beautiful, eye-popping, sensational quilts.  Our members and other exhibitors are so very talented and this is an exhibit not to be missed.  Quilt offerings range from the traditional to the art quilt – but no matter the genre – THIS AIN’T YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S QUILTING anymore!! 

One popular part of our show is our silent auction.  Guild members make and donate quilts and quilted items to be auctioned off.  All proceeds from our auction go to support a chosen charity.  This year we are supporting the Dee Norton Lowcountry Children’s Center.

My good friend Frances pieced this ocean themed quilt and I did the longarm quilting on it as my part of the donation.  We are pleased to offer it at the silent auction and hope it will raise a nice amount for the Children’s Center.

If you are in the Charleston area the first weekend in March please come and see our show.  We will be at the Gaillard Auditorium from 10 AM to 6 PM Friday and Saturday, March 2 &3.  Admission is $7 for one day or $10 for a two day pass.  In addition to almost 200 quilts we have 15 vendors plus our guild boutique.  Wonderful shopping opportunities!!
