| SPECIAL EVENTS Every other year (on the years between quilt shows), we have an out-of-town retreat. Usually about 80 members participate in a big slumber party that lasts for two days. We enjoy small challenges and a mystery quilt, and we come home with new works of art and closer bonds with our fellow quilters. |
| QUILT SHOW Every two years, we promote our art in a quilt show for the whole community. We show a huge variety of styles, sizes and colors of quilts, and our Small Quilt Auction offers at least 90 pieces. Our Fashion Show is a challenge project, and it is really exciting to see the diversity of garments that can be made with the same fabrics. |
