Currency exchange quilt show
At DIVA, 110 W Broadway, Eugene, OR
This exchange involves quilters from the U.S., Japan and New Zealand. I believe 30 quilters from each country. Each participant was to chose any kind of currency and do an interpretation of it in the quilt. The quilts are all 30 centimeters square and have already been travelling around between the 3 countries for about 2 years.

Through July 26th
As survivors of this huge flood up here in Lewis County, WA we are sponsoring the "We survived the Flood of 2007" quilt challenge
Buy 1 yard of flood recovered fabric (all has been washed, dried and some even pressed!), use the fabric on the front of your quilt and enter it at the shoppe on or before July 16, 2008. Quilts will be on display July 21st through the 26th, prizes awarded for creativity, use of fabrics, etc. No rules for size. We don't need more rules at this point. We need recovery.
