Quilt Show Winners Announced

Above, a second place for Franklin's Lisa Steinke with her "Closest to Tradition" which won 2nd place in the "other" category. “This quilt is made of 3 dimensional folded blocks that look like traditional blocks but are assembled in a different manner," Steinke explained.

Rhododendron Needlers Quilt Guild announces Ribbon Winners at its recent Quilt Show “A Community of Quilters”. Blue Hills Regional Technical School was the scene and beautiful handmade art was the theme. Attendees and vendors at the show voted on Saturday with the unveiling of ribbons on Sunday. The guild is grateful to all the quilters who submitted their art for the public to admire, to the community for showing up to enjoy the gallery and vote for their favorite quilts, for the vendors and advertisers for their support and Canton Cable for its coverage of the event. “A Community of Quilters” Quilt Show is supported in part by a grant from the Canton Cultural Council and the Sharon Cultural Council, local agencies funded by the

Mass Cultural Council, a state agency, and Roche Bros.
