Omaha Quilt Show

Recently, my mom and I attended The Omaha Quilters' Guild 2009 Quilt Show Circle of Tradition... Then and Now. It was held at the UNO Sports Center in Omaha, Nebraska.

I wanted to share my favorite quilts with you. The photographs aren't the best, but the event took place in a giant inflated bubble, so the lighting wasn't great and the display method wasn't all that awesome either. Overall it was a really good show. There were some really spectacular pieces included in the show. So, without chattering too much more, here were my favorites from the 2009 Omaha Quilters' Guild Show.
