NBQA Quilt Show 2006

Every other year, the NBQA hosts a large quilt show. The quilt show showcases hundreds of member quilts, includes classes, lectures, raffles, vendors and more. Proceeds from the show support the non profit mission of the NBQA.

At the 2006 show, a mini/small quilt auction was held with proceeds donated to the New England Quilt Museum in continuation of our support as a charter member of the museum. The New England Quilt Museum, is located in Lowell, Massachusetts.
