Rosy red pinwheels, candy colored diamonds, images in all colors! Oh my….it is not a dream; it is the Landrum Quilt Show!  

The Landrum Quilters celebrate their 15th Quilt Show with a love of quilting and fabric art for three days, June 13-15. The show takes place at Landrum Middle School, 104 Redland Road in Landrum. The hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday; 10 am to 3 pm on Saturday..

She will bring some of her quilts and books including Scrap Happy Quilts, published in 2018.

The 2019 raffle quilt “Stars Across the Carolinas” dazzles with rich colors, precise points and fabulous quilting. The vibrant stars of the quilt are set against a white background and measures 84 by 98 inches. Landrum Quilters members participated in piecing squares for the quilt with member Darleen Sanford coordinating and piecing the quilt. Member Elaine Hewitt quilted the overall motif and member Jackie Callis finished the quilt with a lovely binding. Tickets are available from a Landrum Quilters member. The drawing for the quilt will be on Saturday, June 15, and the winner need not be present to win. 

The show will feature some 150 unique quilts from traditional to modern to contemporary fabric art in all sizes, shapes and colors.
