Additionally, on September 13 & 14 ELIQG is having a quilt exhibit at Hallockville Farm Museum. If you are  displaying a quilt there in September and also want to display the same quilt in October you can allow Kathy Lake or Brigitte to  pick up the quilt in September from the Guild’s quilt show and we’ll hold on to the quilts for the October exhibit.
