Stitchers Crossing
Stitchers Crossing Quilt Expo #11, presented by Wisconsin Public Television and Nancy Zieman Productions, is a fundraising event supporting Wisconsin Public Television.
Dear Friends, Many of you have been asking if the store has been sold and the answer is...not yet. I am continuing to talk with prospective buyers and hope the right person will carry on the traditions at Stitchers Crossing. In the meantime, we look forward to showing off new models, kits, books and patterns at Quilt Expo, September 10 - 12. We have classes planned and an end of summer sale to jump start your fall projects!
Several hundred volunteer shifts are needed during this 3-day event. Quilt Expo is accepting volunteers...go to www.wiquiltexpo.com to find a time that works for you. All volunteers will receive a free ticket to Quilt Expo! Quilt Expo will feature lectures, stage demonstration, sit & sew workshops, a juried & judged quilt show and a vendor mall. Look for us in Booth #932 with new models, kits, books and patterns.
CAROL BUTZKE Quilt Appraiser Many quilters wonder why it is important to have a quilt appraised. You may want to provide a record for your family, determine value for a donation or provide adequate insurance coverage before a loss. Whatever your reason, be sure to sign up to have Carol Butzke, AQS Certified Quilted Textile Appraiser appraise your quilt. Saturday October 2nd 10:00AM-5:00PM Please call or stop into register for a half hour appointment (fee $45.00) for one quilt.
