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.

This year, we will have two displays:

We will have a challenge called “Raining Cats and Dogs.”  Anyone can enter a quilt, tote, or other item featuring dogs and cats into this competition.  There will be three viewer’s choice awards for 1st Place ($150), 2nd Place ($100) and 3rd Place ($50).  Quilts need to be less than 60″x60″ and submitted before April 13th (delivered to a participating shop.)  Application is available here.  Please disregard the April 2 date on the application.

You’re also invited to participate in a quilt display of modern quilts at the Shophop.  Anyone can enter a modern quilt that measures less than 80″x80″ and submitted before April 13th (delivered to a participating shop.).  There will be three Viewer’s Choice awards given at the end of the display.  Prizes are 1st Place ($400), 2nd Place ($300) and 3rd Place ($200).  Application is available here.  Please disregard the April 2 date on the application.

Participate in one or both of these displays.

We will have lots of FREE demos and classes at the 2018 show.  Let us share the latest and greatest techniques with you!    All demos will be in the demo classroom.
