Clark County Quilters show - March 28-29-30, Exit 9 off I-5!

The Clark County Quilters are having their AMAZING annual quilt show March 28-29-30!

They do it at the Clark County Fairgrounds/Event center that is just a touch north of Vancouver WA at exit 9 (officially Ridgefield).  Because they need a BIG venue to hold this BIG show!

Full disclosure:  I am still a member of CCQ, even though I moved 230 miles away.  But this is such an astounding group of quilters that I need to be associated with them!  You will want to be a member, too!

And even though I have a personal prejudice, I will tell you that the 2018 CCQ show was, without question, the BEST QUILT SHOW I HAVE EVER ATTENDED.  I almost couldn't see it all! 

So they set the bar pretty high for themselves for 2019.  I'm sure they'll rise to the challenge!


 
I highly recommend that you get a three-day pass and come all three days!  You will want to see the Jelly Roll Race, study the Fort Vancouver Tapestry (I notice new things every time I look at it), and attend some of the demos.  There's a set of challenge quilts, other special exhibits, and a competitive block contest where your vote is needed!
 
Hey!  And after all that inspiration, you'll need thread!
 
Bring a tote bag, wear comfortable shoes, carpool with friends, and spend the day. As per the CCQ tradition, this is a Thursday-Friday-Saturday show.  Bring cash for parking and for the SHOPPING you'll do!  Be ready for quilting immersion!!

Quilters Anonymous quilt show this weekend! March 15-16-17


The big "Monroe Quilt Show" - an annual extravaganza from Quilters Anonymous - is this weekend at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe!  So many wait all year for this amazing show and their "new" venue (new for a few years) at the fairgrounds has proven to be a great location.  Everything in one space; vendors, demos, snacks, and QUILTS!
 
Threadmongers will be there - you'll need a huge infusion of thread after this long winter!
