After class yesterday the Vermnt Quilt show's opening ceremony was very nice.
All the ribbon winner were recoginzed. then they did a presentation of all the Youth quilters. Young people that had made and entered quilts in the show. This segment was presented by Janome sewing machines and Dave Lavalley from Bittersweet Quilt shop in Boscowen NH.
I missed getting the name of the man from Janome. He had an amazing story. They have been sponsoring this youth cateory for awhile. His mother just passed away, and she asked him to continue this award as she loves it and she was born in Vermont.
In addition to the awards, Janome gave EACH youth quilt a SEWING machine!!!
What a GREAT event!
I didn't get into the show last night... but will after class today!
