It was an amazing experience being part of the BMQG Exhibit, Lowell Quilt Festival. Our exhibit was very colorful with lot of unique quilts. I didn't to leave any out one out since each one of the quilts were extraordinary made by our amazing BMQG members.

The venue Appleton mills was just perfect to showcase the quilts. Our BMQG's members show volunteered for LQF(Lowell Quilt Festival) did an awesome job making this show just a great experience for everyone.
