Winter Ranch Quilt Show

The Fourth Annual Quilt Show was held from 9 AM to 1 PM on Tuesday, January 28th, in Friendship Hall.  The Show featured modern and antique quilt displays, quilted art, items for the home and quilted accessories.  In addition, there were door prizes, vendors, a craft boutique, and a Second Hand Rose Booth.

We had visiting quilters' groups from Trophy Gardens, Tropic Star, Alamo Rec Veh Park, the Alamo Country Club, and a large group from Pharr South, among others.
