An update!
- Last postmark date for quilt registration is May 14th! If you need a form and/or entry information go to your brochure or our website: https://mainequilts.org/Quilt_Show/Quilt_Entry_Info.htm.
- We need your quilts! All four of them!
- The workshops with sewing machines provided are filling well; teachers with machines are Brenda Henning and Pam Buda. It is so wonderful for the students to not lug their machines. Enjoy using the machines donated by The Fabric Garden and Cotton Cupboard. There will be an expert helper from the vendor/manufacturer available in workshop all day. We’re letting the teacher teach. If you have a chance at the show, stop by their booths and thank them for their generosity! And check out the special show prices they will offer!
- Have you signed up for a workshop yet? Seven workshops are full! Linda Poole on Friday, both Gina Perks’ on Friday, both Brenda Henning’s on Saturday, Pam Buda on Friday and Lisa Bongean on Friday. There are plenty of other workshop spaces for these teachers as well as Barbara Binotto, Mary Kerr and Bonnie Dwyer. Sign up now! Check our website for further updates on full workshops: http://www.mainequilts.org.
