Our annual quilt show is an opportunity for members to exhibit their quilts. It is a judged event, giving those entering an opportunity to receive feedback on the quality of their work. The judge's comments are confidential, which makes this a positive learning experience. All members are encouraged to participate by entering quilts and working during the show. In addition, we have many "extras" to offer. For a sampling, see below.
...and there's more...
Boutique! Auction! Appraisals! Demos! Vendors!
Our boutique, the charitable auction of member-made mini-quilts, new and antique quilt appraisal, demonstrations, and, of course, SHOPPING in the Merchant's Mall are features that keep people coming back to our show year after year. Please plan to join us!
