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!!
