LQF 2007 was held August 2-5, 2007 at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium and the DoubleTree Hotel in Lowell. The Tsongas Arena, which has been the site of past Images, was unavailable, and the Auditorium is a truly beautiful building which offered a warm and gracious setting for Images 2007, Women's Work is Never Done, and the Journal Quilt Project. The DoubleTree, located conveniently just across from the Auditorium, held a special Founders Exhibit, Community Quilts, and Teacher quilts. A tempting array of vendors was shared between the venues.

In 2008 we will return to the Tsongas Arena in Lowell and the Radisson Hotel in Chelmsford for our annual Quilt Festival. Save these dates!
