There are a couple of quilt shows coming up during the month of October that you might want to try to attend. These are always great for new ideas and a chance to visit different vendors and find the newest gadgets that will help your quilting go easier.
The first show is on October 16 and 17, 2010. The Quilters-by-the-Sea are hosting "Welcome Home" at the Portsmouth Middle School, 125 Jepson Lane, Portsmouth, RI. Hours are Saturday, 10-6, and Sunday, 10-4. There is plenty of free parking and is handicapped-accessible. A donation of $5 is being asked at the door and children under 12 are admitted free with an adult. There will be over 100 quilts, vendors, a raffle quilt, and refreshments. Even the children can work on winning a quilt by completing a scavenger hunt with correctly completed forms acting as raffle tickets. If you get a little peckish, the Portsmouth Music Boosters will have refreshments for sale in the lobby. Not only can you fill your tummy, you help support the school music program at the same time! That's bang for your buck! For more information, check their website at http://quiltersbytheseari.com/.
On October 23-24, 2010, the Tewksbury Piecemakers are presenting "Quilts for All Seasons" at the Tewksbury Senior Center, 175 Chandler Street, Tewksbury, MA. Admission is $6 and the hours are 10 am to 4 pm both days. There will be over 400 quilts to admire and you can visit vendors, a Members' Boutique, a Sewing Yard Sale and much more! They are raffling a quilt as well as baskets filled with quilting goodies. Lunch will be available for a fee all day.
