Online Quilting Network Host Sending Work to Seaway Trail Show March 15-16

Sackets Harbor, NY -- As a professional quilter, author of 30 books, including Backyard Bird Quilts, and QNNTV.com host, Jodie Davis is the perfect person to ask to display her work at the Feathers and Fowl: Birds of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail Quilt Show March 15-16. Davis is sending half a dozen works to the Seaway Trail Quilt Show and Competition that runs 10 am to 5 pm daily at the Seaway Trail Discovery Center in Sackets Harbor.

Since 2005, Davis has hosted several programs on the 24-hour-a-day, 7-days-a-week QNNTV.com online network. She travels the world to feature creative people and projects for her Friends in the Bee segment.

Davis, who lives in Canton, Georgia, enjoys creating projects with nature themes and her professional quilting and design work is known for inventive techniques and use of color.

“What a surprise and a pleasure to be asked to hang my quilts at the Seaway Trail show,” Davis says. “It is a perfect fit. My husband and I are avid gardeners and bird watchers and participate in Project Feeder Watch. We live in a unique community of 400 homes in north Georgia, each backing to a hundred-acre trail system.”

Activities at the Seaway Trail bird-theme show include quilting demonstrators, daily 1 pm Attracting Birds to Your Backyard presentations by birder-photographer Eve Sweatman, Viewers Choice voting to select the top three works for cash prizes, and vendors. All those entering quilts or wallhangings – old or new – with at least one bird that might be seen along the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, Niagara River or Lake Erie will receive a set of new Birds of the Great Lakes Seaway Trail notecards designed by artists Robert McNamara. Each visitor to the show will receive a free newly-designed bird appliqué pattern by award-winning quilter Mary Knapp of Watertown.

The Quilt Show benefits the Seaway Trail Foundation. Learn more at www.seawaytrail.com. #
