2006 Quilt Show: “Quilts of Enchantment”

Our quilt show was held September 30 - October 1, 2006 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Los Alamos, NM.  There were over 100 quilts, many vendors, a silent auction, etc.

The 2006 donation quilt was pieced and quilted by members of the Los Alamos Piecemakers Quilt Guild. The drawing was held on October 1, 2006 and won by Kathleen Clark of White Rock.
