Featured artist: Kathleen Rathvon!

 Local quilter Kathleen Rathvon will be the featured artist at the Woolley Fiber Quilters’ annual quilt and fiber art show, July 19-21.  Noted for her mastery of color and technique, Kathleen was selected to showcase the artistry she imbues in every quilt.

Our show registration form is available early this year!

Follow this link to the form parked on Google Docs. 

Sadly, the "check box" symbol converts as the "Euro" symbol when Google docs uploads the file. 

So you can just work with that or download the file in MS Word or PDF format from the Woolley Fiber Quilters' Facebook page. 

Need a hard copy of the blank form?  Available at Cascade Fabrics in Sedro-Woolley. 

Entries due June 30 but earlier is better!!

We hope that EVERYONE will enter quilts and fiber art pieces in the show and that EVERYONE plus  your friends, family, neighbors, and visitors will come to our GREAT show July 19-21 at Cascade Middle School in Sedro-Woolley!  See the details in the sidebar here.

WFQ Show - thanks to all volunteers!

Londa wants to give a personal THANKS to everyone who volunteered for the quilt show in any capacity!


Many hands make light work and quilters seem to know that, instinctively.  

So graciously accept Londa's appreciation as we, in turn, appreciate her willingness to step into the coordinator role when it was needed.  Good vibes all around!

 

WFQ show - Bed Turning!

One of the most popular features of our quilt show is always the Bed Turning!

Teri Bever and her team put together a collection of local quilts that help illustrate the history and art of quilting, with explanations about the construction and variations. 

This year's theme was "Journey from old to new" with vintage and contemporary versions of various quilting patterns. 

Most presentations were "standing room only" as everyone loves a good story!

And, as Teri says, "the journey to being a quilter starts with a single stitch."

WFQ show - Day 2!

What a pleasure to have so many compliments from our attendees for this show!  Lots of fun going on - "make and take" projects in the fiber art area and kids are winning prizes for the scavenger hunt!

Our vendors have shopping opportunities for quilting supplies as well as gift-ready items!  

With such strong attendance on both Friday and Saturday, we are sure that the word is getting out about the lively quilting and fiber art community in Sedro-Woolley and Skagit County!

So be sure to come to the show on Sunday - our last day when the hours are 10 to 4.  Bed turnings are at 11 and 2.  Have you already come to the show?  Come again!
