PVQA Quilt Show This Weekend!

This is a shameless plug and total exploitation of my blog, but I HAVE to tell you about our Quilt Show this weekend. If you are anywhere on the Central Coast of California, you HAVE to come!

I may be biased, but I sincerely believe PVQA consistently puts on one of if not THE best guild quilt show on the Central Coast, or anywhere else I've been for that matter.

Quickly, the show runs Saturday Feb 22, 10 - 5:30, and Sunday Feb 23, 10 - 4  at the Santa Cruz County Fairgrounds,  2601 East Lake Avenue  Watsonville, CA 95076.  Scroll down further for more details.

YOU HAVE TO COME!!

This year our featured speaker is Rachel Clark, fiber artist renowned for her wearable art and jewelry. Go here and check her out. Rachel will also be hosting the Fashion Show, another popular event, on Saturday.

Always entertaining and informative, this year our Bed Turning will feature twelve quilts on loan from the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles! How cool is that? This event takes place several times during the weekend, times published in the program.

Bring your hubby, and if he gets tired he can retire to Man Land, a little corner set up like a den complete with recliners and sports magazines. Now tell me, what other quilt show has that?

Not to be missed is our Live Auction on Sunday, where approximately sixty pieces will be going on the block, auctioned by a real auctioneer, which makes this the most popular event of the weekend. An excellent chance to own a work of art, a piece of history!

We have a Quilt Appraiser, but you have to book an appointment which are going fast (call Ann Murphy 831-479-8777.)

The other most popular feature is our Bargain Garden, where we have all donated our unloved stuff, then buy everyone else's unloved stuff. Which ends up being a dollar a bag, at the end of the show. Many many fabulous quilts have been made with these discarded materials!

Below is the basic info as it runs in our press release.
