Winners of Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild 42nd annual show

GILFORD — The Belknap Mill Quilters’ Guild held their 42nd Annual Quilt Show at the Gilford Community Youth Center Oct. 5-6.

Visitors saw a custom car cover made out of quilt blocks, clothes lines hung with colorful and unique quilt squares, and over 100 quilts with traditional and modern patterns. Guests played vendor trivia, and shopped at the booths with a variety of merchandise for sale. They had a chance to have a lunch of homemade food from the Harvest Cafe, or visit the demonstration table to learn about new techniques and quilting modalities. There were also opportunities to enter the penny sale, baskets galore, or raffles.
