Our Quilt Show presence is continually expanding with the addtion of April’s “Quilting in the Sun Country” Quilt Show in Red Bluff, California to our schedule. Presented by Red Bluff’s Sun Country Quilters Guild, the show runs on Saturday, April 1st, 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday, April 2nd, 10 am to 4 pm at the Tehama District Fairgrounds (650 Antelope Blvd, Red Bluff). With over 200 quilts on display, door prizes, demonstrations, quilt and gift basket drawings, and a boutique and food available, there is plenty to see and do. The featured quilters, Roxanna Bradley and June Kirk, will be available both days to show off their work. In May we will be exhibiting at the “Springtime in the Pines” 33rd Annual Quilt Show at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley, California. Presented by Grass Valley’s Pine Tree Quilt Guild, the show runs on Saturday, May 6th and Sunday, May 7th. For hours and additional information, visit the Guild’s website at www.pinetreequiltguild.com. The show will feature a Tribute “Honoring the Quilts of our Foremothers” which will display beautiful and historic antique quilts. A Quilt Appraiser will be on site both days by appointment or walk-in to appraise your pre-1960 quilt. Written ($85) and Oral ($25) are available. (For Appoinments, email PTGG@comcast. net, or call 530-575-8433.) The show will also feature Vendor Booths, a Country Store, Quilters Cafe, Door Prizes, and a Botique.
