Our third annual quilt show is June 1-2-3! This year our theme is "Blast of Stars" and we're getting ready to shine!
Quilt show preregistration forms are now available - hard copies at Cascade Fabrics in Sedro-Woolley and soft copies via Teri Bever or Judy Johnson. Leave a message on this blog if you need a form and don't have the current e'mail addresses.
We welcome quilters of ALL abilities to participate and display quilts. This is a COMMUNITY quilt show and we want to show off the variety of talent that Sedro-Woolley and Skagit County quilters have to offer. There will be some quilts displayed from outside our immediate area, too, come and see! We plan to hang 200+ quilts again this year.
Remember to submit a photo with each entry form. Also cite the source of your pattern on the form and in the artist's comments that will be displayed with the quilts. We want to be sure to credit pattern designers wherever we can!
Once again, we will have local "Celebrity Judges" who will each pick one favorite as well as "People's Choice" winners in these categories: Large (over 200" in circumference), Small (100" to 199"), Miniature (1" to 99"), Theme, Challenge ("books"), Youth, and Other (wearables, totes, etc.) .
All this in coordination with Sedro-Woolley's Blast from the Past celebration which features vendors, kids' contests, live music, Museum open house, and the vintage car show on Sunday June 3.
Downtown Sedro-Woolley! See you there!
We did it again! The Super Secret National Quilting Day Flash Mob Parade was held this morning in downtown Sedro-Woolley! A great way to celebrate the day and to remind folks of our upcoming quilt show June 1-2-3. And a great way to add color and warmth to a cold and gray day! We stop at nothing!
Thank you to our Celebrity Readers, volunteers, quilters, participating businesses, and Story Walkers for the great fun we had at the first “Story Walk Sedro-Woolley” on March 10! We had so much positive feedback about the day – everyone loved hearing great stories and enjoyed the camaraderie of the shared experience. Sedro-Woolley has a treasure in our Downtown core – this is the kind of event that home town memories are made of. Let’s have a Story Walk again next year!
Here are photos of a few of the great quilts that were on display!!
Countdown to Story Walk has begun! Local quilters have submitted book-themed quilts to be displayed during Story Walk on Saturday, March 10 in downtown Sedro-Woolley. Each quilter chose their own theme - come and see if you recognize the book or the character!

Story Walk begins on March 10 at 10 a.m. Come to Metcalf Street in downtown Sedro-Woolley and stop in at local participating businesses on the hour and half hour to hear readings from books selected by the Sedro-Woolley Library. Our local celebrity readers will be reading your favorites! A full listing of venues, stories, readers, and quilts will be displayed in downtown windows starting March 7. Come and celebrate reading!
