May 23 - 25, 2008

in Fort Bragg at the Town Hall & Rec Center

Sponsored & Coordinated by

Soroptimist International of Fort Bragg

Chair Susan Bivins

and

Ocean Wave Quilters

2008 Quilt, It's Magic! was a great success! More quilt entries, more people attending and many more from out of town. Our advertising really brought them in. We had good attendance at each of the three workshops before the show and they were all excited about new techniques. The vendors brought in many beautiful items for sale and there were many of us that shopped. Judging went well and our Preview Night was well attended. Lots of good food and drink, thanks to all the donations. And the quilts were spectacular. I felt lots of excitement and everyone seemed to have a good time. I think we are off to a great start in my five year vision.  A big thanks goes to all who helped out, either before the show, during the show, and after. Great team work!!
