This weekend, 2-5 March, is the annual Mancuso Quilt & Sewing Fest of New Jersey in Somerset
and our NYC Metro Modern Quilters Guild is proud, for the first time, to be a special exhibit at the show.

Yesterday, Cynthia, Caroline and I headed over to the Garden State Exhibit Center to hang our Guild quilts and set up the exhibit, and I took lots of pics to share with you.
When we saw our allocated exhibit space, it made sense to divide the quilts into 4 sections:
Entrance; Muted; Brights; and Group.

We hope you're as pleased with it as we are 😍.
We know some of you are heading over to see the show for yourselves
and, hopefully, the pics will help those of you who can't get there feel like you've experienced it too!
If you do get to the show, our very own Susan Sato @Easy Piecing is vending,
and one of our regular meeting vendors, Usha Berlin @Handloom Batiks, is there too.
Thanks for sharing. Now I don't feel so bad about missing the show����
