Our 2025 Pioneer Quilters Boutique--OH MY!!

We go to quilt shows because we love to see the marvelous quilts.  And we often wish we had a particular talent or the remarkable sense of color or design that we enjoy in the quilts.  Or we long to own something made by one of these gifted women.

One of the very special things about a show put on by Pioneer Quilters is the Boutique.  Our creative and generous members spend untold hours making items they feel our guests may be interested in purchasing.  This year is no different, and I've been saving my extra dollars.  We hope you have too!

For many of us, it's a fantastic place to buy special gifts, whether for a birthday, holiday, hostess, Mother's Day gift, or just because someone is special to you. The talents of our members shine in these items.

Today, May 1st, was the day we set up the show--all the gorgeous quilts to admire AND the Boutique room was stocked for our guests to visit.  

Every year our members get more and more creative.  I've already determined there are numerous items I can't live without, and others that it'll be fun to surprise someone with.  Happily, our amazing Boutique seamstresses made more than one of some items.
