If you want a really FUN game for your retreat or small group gathering….you have GOT to pick up QUILT SHOW, a board game by the wonderful Judy Martin and her hubby Steve Bennett!
When they sent me a sample game to try, I knew that bringing it up here for my cabin time with friends would be the perfect time to try it out.
You can have 2 to 4 players, and the game can last anywhere from about 35 minutes to an hour depending on how you play and how many players there are.
I absolutely LOVE the intro paragraph and the in-depth instruction booklet:
Award-Winning quilt makers devote considerable effort to collecting fabrics for their stashes. The shop for specific colors, often ranging into neighboring hues to achieve a nuanced, scrappy look. If they cannot find the colors they want, they sometimes hand dye their own fabric. They use their time and skills converting fabric into blocks, which they combine to make quilts. Often, Quilters work on more than one quilt at a time to keep things interesting. They may embellish their quilts with intricate quilting stitches. The best quilters make good color choices, combine blocks skillfully, use their time well, and win generous purchase awards when they enter their quilts in shows.
Do you have the skill and the patience to make the most beautiful quilts? Do you have the cunning to enter your quilts in the right shows in order to earn the most prize money? In short, do you have what it takes to win BEST in SHOW and become a master Quilt Maker?Click HERE for more info on QUILT SHOW!
And just to show you how fun QUILT SHOW is to play--- I’m offering ONE GAME, a $34.95 value as a givewaway! You could be playing QUILT SHOW with your friends at your next gathering!

The sun streaming through the trees on this morning’s hike!
I heard Tonya pull out of the drive this morning just after 6am. I wish her safe travels down to Florida, it is going to be a long and HOT driving day for her! We had a great time -----
Time for porch treadling!
After cleaning up the living room mess and putting things away, vacuuming up mountains of strings and threads and snips and bits, I realized I have spent much of the past week INDOORS instead of out. I haven’t treadled on the deck since 4th of July ---so I took some time to set up.
One block treadled!
Still so funny to think of using a people-powered machine, but still need an extension cord for my light and my iron. Hey, a girl has gotta have what a girl has gotta have. I never would have survived in the pioneer days without electricity!
Sadie’s got her comfy spot too!
Have a great Wednesday, everyone!

Laurie--just finishing totally handpieced and handquilted Celtic Solstice!YAYYY!!
I'd love to give that a whirl.
Hmmm.....I have a camping game for when we are RVing so I think it would be appropriate to have a quilting game for when I am with quilt buds.
I can't wait to get my 1912 treadle up & running. . . .we lose power often enough that I could use it.
I hope it is less humid there. I am not going outside today unless I have too..
Thanks for a chance at the game. My quilting buddies and I would put it to good use.
The game looks interesting! Enjoy your time treadling.

My mom, sisters and I get together once a year to quilt, shop and attend a quilt show. We also live to play games. Would love to play this game with them.
Judy is good people! Her and her husband told me all about this game and I've been wanting to get my hands in it ever since! Thanks for the chance!
Our quilt retreat is next month and this will be perfect, can't wait!
Hope the game is a great success. Perfect for retreats or as a gift.Enjoy your day treadling. I will be without power all day - upgrades in the area - and I do not own a treadle (yet) so will content myself with other endeavors - like fabric shopping. LOL
