This year honored the Quilts of Valor. Here you can see just a few of these special quilts beautifully displayed on the museums curved staircase.
The mission of the Quilts of Valor Foundation is to cover service members and veterans touched by war with comforting and healing Quilts of Valor.
One of the interactive booths featured Prayer Flags.
Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
GO! Fabric Cutters
At Aurifil they believe that education is key… that sharing extensive knowledge on the construction and behavior of Aurifil threads will help customers make informed choices when purchasing thread.
Brooke James was working at the children's bracelet making booth.
Cosmic Cow was present with many new and interesting ideas
Lincoln Quilt Guild displayed a lovely raffle quilt named Nebraska Prairie Wedding.
Here we have a print making demonstration showing how wood cuts are used to print designs on fabric.
