We invite any of the shops or customers to make comments, post photos, or list events or announcements here!

This event will be held in the First National Bank Building at the The Ranch at I-25 and Crossroads on Friday, April 17th and Saturday, April 18th, 2019.  Hours are 9-5 both days.

This year, we will have two displays:

Our theme for this year’s challenge is flashback to the 1960s.   Beatles, peace signs, hippies, tie dye, long hair, rock & roll, being hip or being square.  Make your own project around a 1960s theme, using a commercial pattern or one of your own creation.  To participate, fill out an entry form and submit it to a participating quilt store with your project by April 13.  Wall hangings, totes or other interpretations of a 60s theme no larger than 60” X 60” will be accepted. Projects will hang at the Springtime in the Rockies Shop Hop at the Ranch, April 17 & 18.   Gift Basket Prizes awarded: $250 1st; $200 2nd; $150 3rd as picked by Viewer’s Choice.  Projects and prizes can be collected from your participating shop after the show.
