Quilt Show

by Laurel Sons September 28, 2012

My husband found this ad and brought it home for me. The Quiltmakers of Kankakee (Illinois) are presenting a quilt show titled Autumn Splendor 2012 at the Kankakee County Fairgrounds' Expo Center.

This quilt show will be open this weekend, September 29 and 30 from 10:00am to 4:00pm.

Admission is $5.00. The show features 400 quilts, bed turning (at llam and 2pm), a rafle quilt, silent auction, vendors and barn quilt tours! If you live in the area or would like a little autumn road trip, you'll want to consider visiting this show this weekend.

If you would like more information, you can call 815-933-2993 or 815-942-0766. They also advertise a website, www.kankakeequiltmakers.com.

I love to go to quilt shows. Looking at the beautiful quilts gives me inspiration. I have great fun with the silent auctions and feel like purchasing raffle tickets not only gives me a chance to win a beautiful new quilt but also helps support the organization. The vendors.......oh boy......the vendors......I looooove the vendors. They always have new and interesting tools, notions, patterns and fabrics for me to drool over and purchase.

Happy Quilting,
Laurel
