Threadmongers 1Q and 2Q schedule for 2022

As our pandemic restrictions ease, a little, quilt shows are coming back on line!  So nice to look forward to spending time among beautiful quilts with beautiful friends.  So here are some opportunities for you to find quilts and THREADMONGERS at regional shows in Washington. 

But first, here are a few reminders: 

These shows will follow the government's pandemic requirements in place for the date/location of the event.  This is to ensure your safety and the health of the community.  

Bring your proof of vaccination, as it may be required to enter a public event. 

Bring a good quality mask - bring two if you think you may want to change. 

Bring a tote bag, just like you do to the supermarket.  Washington state eliminated single-use bags on October 1, 2021. 

Bring cash to speed up your transaction.  Many venues have very slow Internet access for credit/debit card processing. 

Here we go!
