The ‘War of 1812 Bicentennial Quilt Show’ was on display last weekend in Sackets Harbor, New York with over 100 quilts on exhibit from quilters in Canada and the United States. The contest was organized by Seaway Trail executive director Teresa Mitchell, who passed away a few months ago. Ten of Teresa's quilts were also on display.

I trolled the internet for pictures of quilts entered in the display.

The rules asked for long quilts (30" x 70") which resulted in creative solutions to incorporating square ideas into rectangular formats.

The show will be traveling. Mancuso Quilt Shows will feature the War of 1812 Quilt Challenge at the World Quilt Show-New England in Manchester, NH August 16-19 and then at Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza September 13-16.

I was surprised and honored to find my quilt mentioned here, when the post came up in my RSS subscriptions this week!
Not to be too semantic, but my first name is spelled Rachael. (I was amazed that both the Utica OD and the Seaway Trail spelled it right consistently.)
Thank you for your support of the show. Your research on this blog and your books was invaluable in creating the quilt.
There were so many beautiful quilts at the show. I hope your readers are able to see the traveling ones in NH or PA later this year.
