Shop Display
In addition, if you'd like your quilt displayed in the shop during the 11th anniversary celebration, we will need you to drop it off at the shop no later than 4PM on Saturday June 8th. This will give us time to get them hung up for the Anniversary Party 6/14 and 6/15. The quilts will be taken down at the end day on Monday 6/17 and you can pick them up any time.

PLEASE BE SURE YOUR QUILT IS LABELED WITH YOUR NAME

This was a fun challenge and we are excited to
photograph and display all of the quilts.
