At the Country Store boutique, guild members will sell a variety of quilt and craft merchandise, a good place to get started on Christmas shopping.

Show guests can take a chance at an opportunity quilt and a selection of gift baskets, and can bid on the silent auction items. Angelina’s Bakery will serve lunch in Barty’s Café across the street from Lewis Hall each day.

The quilt guild is delighted to announce that this year’s featured quilter is Patricia Knoechel an internationally-known quiltmaker, speaker, teacher, and designer. Knoechel will display a number of her quilts at the Falling Leaves Quilt Show. Her work features traditional designs with fresh touches and soft clear colors that reflect the flowers and butterflies that she favors.

Patricia Knoechel and her sister, Eleanor Burns, another well-known quilter, have worked closely together for many years. In 1985 Knoechel started her business Creating with Color in response to Burns’ need for special rulers to use with her Quilt in a Day patterns. Visit Pat Knoechel’s website www.creatingwithcolor.com to see a gallery of her quilts and to learn more about her. The Quilt in a Day Web site is www.quiltinaday.com .

LLQG welcomes all quilters, prospective quilters and quilt lovers to its meetings and events.
