OUR QUILT SHOW FLYERS


These colorful show flyers give you information on what will be happening each day during our September show.  Of course all day every day you'll be able to view gorgeous quilts, and we're always demonstrating hand quilting around a frame.

Every year we raffle off quilt blocks.  We're especially taken with how gorgeous this year's blocks are--four are shown on the flyer below.  These are hand appliquéd and embroidered by Pioneer Quilters, and they're still coming in.  You can see others on our Pioneer Quilters Facebook page.

They're going to make one spectacular quilt! Tickets will be on sale throughout the show, but you can also purchase them now from Pioneer Quilters.

THE NEW VENUE, A CLASS FOR YOU . . . and FACEBOOK!

OUR NEW QUILT SHOW SPACE

We Pioneer Quilters are quite excited about the possibilities inherent in holding our show in a much larger venue in September.  A  few weeks ago, we got a chance to visit that space, the Cottage Grove Armory, and we were all delighted with those possibilities.






One of the many wonderful features of the Armory is a large room where we can gather groups for classes/workshops.  


OUR FIRST QUILT SHOW WORKSHOP


We'll still have daily speakers and demonstrations twice a day, but now with this wonderful classroom, a third feature is being added--our first quilt show workshop!

Mindy Reeves has offered to teach a paper-pieced Farmhouse Window table runner workshop.
  


The class will be held on Saturday, September 21, from 10 to 4.

The pattern and paper piecing supplies will be available at the workshop.  Participants will complete at least one Compass Rose block.

Registration is now open.  Registrations will be accepted in the order received.   Please email Robin Fouquette (weaverlady@q.com) for a registration form.


QUILT ENTRIES


Will you have a quilt ready for this year's September 18-21 show?  We are now accepting entries.  If you'd like an entry form, please request one at this email:  quilterspioneer@gmail.com.  We'll email it to you as a PDF.


JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP


Pioneer Quilters now has a Facebook group!  This blog and that Facebook page are both great places to see photos and read about what our group is up to in its 5th decade!
