Rising Sun Quiltfest Show

This year was the guilds first time showing in the Rising Sun Indiana Quiltfest show held at the Grand Victoria Casino.  It was an interesting venue to say the least.  I for one loved the buffet.  THe club at least made their booth fee and a little more.  So, it was worth giving it a go.  We shall evaluate our experience and see if it warrants a return next year. Below are some picture provided by guild member Robbie Porter.  Whom by the way won 1st and 2nd place for her art quilts.  Way to go Robbie!
