COUNTDOWN TO SHOW TIME!

IT'S THIS WEEK!

We are SO excited about our 2019 Unbroken Thread Quilt Show.  The Cottage Grove Armory (628 E. Washington Avenue, Cottage Grove) is such a spacious, light-filled and appealing historic building--we can't wait to see it festooned in quilts.  

And there will be so much going on . . . 

HERE'S WHAT'S HAPPENING:

Tuesday, September 17.  If you've had one or more quilts accepted for the show, this is the day to bring them to the Armory, between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm.  Be sure you have a 4" sleeve on the top back of your quilt, and have sewn the paper Show ID label to the bottom left corner on the back. Don't forget to bring your Entry and Loan Form along with your quilt.
