FORMS ARE DUE MAY 16TH!!
Earlier would be nicer!

Mail to:

PO Box 655

Or drop off at:
Cascade Fabrics

All registration forms must be accompanied by a photo of the entered quilt.  The easiest way to do this is to take a digital photo and print it on the back of the entry form with your printer.  If you submit the photo separately from the form, please be sure to write on the photo your name, phone number, and the name of the entry.  In case it gets separated from the form.

The quilt does not need to be finished by May 16th.  Just the paperwork and a photo of the quilt - in progress if need be. 

Quilt turn-in day is Tuesday, May 31 at Cascade Fabrics. 

Any medium or large quilt MUST have a hanging sleeve attached on the back, at the top.  Sufficient to allow a 2" x 2" pole to be inserted.  If you are in doubt, attach a sleeve.  Smaller quilts will be pinned to sheets. 

Each quilt also requires a label identifying the owner, contact information, and the name of the entry. 

Please refer to the form for more information, category definitions, and other important information.

And PLEASE plan to volunteer for some of the many tasks associated with putting on a wonderful quilt show!

Thank you!

Where will the 2016 "Blast of Baskets" quilt show be??

Our 2016 location is revealed!!  We were not able to secure a downtown location for the show - but we think we have found something better!!  For the first time since 2010 our show will be all under one roof!! 

At the former Skagit River Restaurant, which is next door to the Three Rivers Inn on Highway 20!!

This location is just west of the intersection of Highway 20 and Highway 9 (where Rite Aid is).

Easy to find, good parking, and all in one spot!

Technically, the address is "221 Central Ave".  But just think "next door to the Three Rivers Inn" and you'll find it!  Here's a photo, facing east:

Keep checking this site for more quilt show information!! 

Blast of Baskets 2016! Artwork revealed!

Once again, our extraordinary artist, Gary Daum, has captured the fun, frenzy, and Technicolor of QUILTING!!  He gets us. 

Our quilter (whom we have named "Pippi") drives a quilter's pickup truck filled with baskets, flowers, and quilt blocks.  Thanks, Gary!  Blast of Baskets is coming and this image will be our signature for posters, postcards, and our Internet presence!

SSNQDFMP - Flash Mob Parade for National Quilting Day!

Yes!  We had our annual Super Spontaneous National Quilting Day Flash Mob Parade in downtown Sedro-Woolley!!  To celebrate National Quilting Day and to give folks a heads up on our Blast of Baskets Quilt Show coming up June 3-4-5!!

The downtown core is nice and compact - so we can easily cover all of the territory and make it back to Cascade Fabrics for the grand finale!

National Quilting Day always deserves a parade, don't you agree?

Thanks, Charlotte Furchert,

for spearheading this fun event again!

Reynola inspires us all!

Thanks!  To Reynola Pakusich for patiently teaching us the art of overlapping circles, to Elsie Summers for two catered lunches so delicious that we had no idea we were "eating healthy", and to the Woolley Fiber Quilters and friends who came and made this weekend full of quilting fun!

As usual, we came away inspired, tired, and ready to make use of our newly acquired skills.  You will see some of these great pieces at our Blast of Baskets quilt show June 3-4-5.  In downtown Sedro-Woolley!
