2009 Texas Quilt Show Trail | Shiner, Texas, "Spring Into Quilting"

The excitement is building! People will be coming from distant places to the Shiner, Texas, 2009 Heritage Quilt Show!

There will be entries from Brenhem, Houston, Hallettsville, Yoakum, Moulton, Cuero, Belton, Seguin, and Mountain Home, as well as Shiner.

The unique Quilt Car will be on display.





Have you ever seen a "quilt car?" The Shiner Heritage Quilters have sewn a car cover made of many pieced quilt blocks that completely covers a car. I have included the picture. This car will also pull a small trailer that will be decorated with quilts and carry a manikin rocking in a chair and, of course, quilting as well!

The car will be parked in several locations in downtown Shiner to promote a quilt and needle art show on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st, at the United Methodist Church Activity Center, 102 W. Church St. (off Hwy 90A). There will be over 100 quilt and needle art items, vendors, quilting demonstrations, food and drink concession, and a very special Bible-themed entry section in each category.

March 21st is the first day of spring, March is International Quilting month, and March 21st is National Quilting Day. Shiner is celebrating it all!
