Class sizes are limited, so be sure to register early.
In addition to signing up for a quilt workshop, quilters are also encouraged to register a quilt for exhibition in the 2017 show. On-line registration is also available for quilt appraisals. Quilt appraisals will be done at the Quilt Show on Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5 and advance appraisal registration is preferred.
