Fall 2014 - West Sound Quilters quilt show - and beyond!!

There are some GREAT quilt shows coming up this fall, and Threadmongers will be on hand at these fine festivities:

West Sound Quilters - Bremerton "Color My World"                     September 5-6

Sea Pals Ocean Shores "A Whale of a Quilt Show"                     September 19-20-21

Cabin Fever Quilters - Port Townsend                                         September 26-27

Block Party Quilters - Issaquah                                                     November 7-8-9

I will tell you that these are some of the most fun shows of the year - the Crystal Quilters show is new for Threadmongers but if the enthusiasm of their members is any indication, they have a fabulous time, too! 

Our friends in Port Townsend only have a show in even-numbered years, so don't miss this one!!

If you are working with wool or thinking about it...be sure and come to the Threadmongers booth where there will be LOTS of wool thread by both Aurifil and Genziana!!

Have you tried Invisifil, the amazing 100-weight poly thread by Wonderfil?  You need to try it and its companion product, Deco Bob, which is an 80-weight poly by Wonderfil. 

There's so much to discover about quilting thread.  Surely half the fun of quilting is the thread!  Well, you knew I would say that.

See you at these great shows!  ALWAYS support local/guild quilt shows.  You will make new friends, discover new techniques, and be inspired!



West Sound Quilters - Bremerton - Show theme is "Color my World". 
That HAS to be a classic quilter's theme!!

Sunbonnet Sue Quilt Club annual quilt show July 18-19-20!

The Sunbonnet Sues are planning another amazing quilt show to be held during Sequim's Lavender Festival!  This is an easy show to attend - lots of parking or ride the little transit bus that serves the official Lavender Festival locations. 

Sequim is the World Headquarters (!!!) for The Applique Society and the Sunbonnet Sues always have some delicious applique quilts to display as well as their other fabulous works.  The "Art Sues" also challenge each other with fun ideas and, well, you get the picture, there is inspiration everywhere at this show!

This guild also has one of the BEST member boutiques anywhere!  Come and do your birthday and Christmas shopping for sure!

Finally, it is always SRO at the Sunbonnet Sues' bed turning.  Where do they get all of the fabulous vintage quilts? 

Threadmongers will be there!  Wouldn't miss it.  What a pleasure to be at this show, every year!

Blast of Freedom! Sedro-Woolley's quilt show June 6-7-8!

It's here!  The Woolley Fiber Quilters have been preparing their best quilt show EVER!

Blast of Freedom will be held at the former Holland Drug location and the former Curves location, both on Metcalf Street in downtown Sedro-Woolley!

Once again, the show will feature a bed-turning with some delicious vintage quilts, including doll quilts!  And vendors, a raffle quilt, demonstrations, and lots of quilting inspiration for you!


Some members have made quilts which will be donated to veterans' quilt organizations, and the organizations will have representatives on hand to tell you about their important work.

So make plans to visit Downtown Sedro-Woolley during Blast from the Past and come to the Blast of Freedom quilt show!  If you or a member of your party are interested in the vintage car show, it will be on Sunday, June 8th only, in the downtown core.  Where?  You can't miss it!  Come downtown and see everything!   Threadmongers will be there!

Busy Bee Quilters show April 26-27! Monroe Fairgrounds!

Those Busy Bee Quilters have cleverly moved the date of their annual show to April - so they can be part of the big Spring Festival at the Monroe Fairgrounds! 

Threadmongers set up for the show today - and took a quick tour of the quilts that are already hung for the show.  Wow!  Lots of fun, color, and inspiring quilts! 

You know you're ready for a quilt show weekend.  Come on out and see QUILTS plus the festival in progress.  A great weekend for the whole family!
