2022 NIQ Quilt Show
The 2022 North Idaho Quilters Quilt Show is complete and we hope you enjoyed it!
What an amazing collection of beautiful quilts and quilt related items – 297 in all. Just under 1000 (997) visitors and members attended the show. The merchant mall chairwoman contracted 17 vendors to display a wonderful array of merchandise and equipment. We were so thrilled to have each of those vendors be a part of our successful show. We received many positive comments and compliments on the impressive array of quilts and items and also on the set up and flow of the show. Thank you to all our chairwomen responsible for these areas, Paige Winton and Cindie Lee, and all who helped them.
A big Thank You to your Featured Quilter, Paulette Steele who was there to answer questions on the many various techniques displayed on her myriad of beautiful quilts. Such an awe-inspiring number of accomplishments!
Congratulations to all whose quilts and items were awarded ribbons. The variety in each category was amazing and I know it would be hard to even choose. They were all fabulous. We have some amazing and impressive quilters in our guild.
The country store was popular, as were the Fat Quarter Raffle baskets. It was hard to choose a favorite among the 12 baskets offered for raffle.
Thank you to all who volunteered to help with collections, set up, hostess, sit & sew, country store, take down, decorations, selling raffle tickets, and signing up new guild members. All of these jobs are necessary and vital in putting on a successful event such as this. Many words of thanks to all the spouses and friends who volunteered their time to unload and load vendors, setup and take down quilts. We couldn’t possibly have done this without ALL of their help. We are so grateful for their support.
Our committee was diligent in planning and preparing, striving always to produce a hiqh-quality show and remain within our budget. I am so appreciative of the efforts of every committee chairperson who took this task on and stayed the course! I am grateful for all their efforts and proud to have served with them.
Thank you to the following businesses for their help in making our 2022 Quilt Show a success: The Kootenai County Fairgrounds, Design Events - Expo and Event Services, Northern States Security, Action Printers, Staples, Generations Awards, The Local Deli, New Leaf Nursery, Nickel’s Worth, Coeur d’Alene Press, and The Inlander.
The 2024 North Idaho Quilt Show Co-chairwomen are Cherie Vidovich and JeanAnne Sharrai.
