Quilting and Quilting Shows

Hand sewn, machine sewn or tied, quilts are part of Olympic Peninsula tradition. Quilters proudly share their masterpieces at local quilt shows.
Local quilt shops provide the needed raw materials to encourage and inspire the quilt artists.

 

2008 Western Washington Shop Hop-10th Anniversary
Shop Hop works like this: Pick up a passport at any participating quilt shop anytime after June 1, 2008. Quilted Strait, Port Angeles, and Sound Sewing, Sequim, are among the participants. There are 54 quilting shops participating across Western Washington. To win prizes, get the passport stamped at each shop visited during the Hop. When a passport gets stamped, a kit for a quilt block, including the block pattern created by that individual shop and three fabrics, will be received. Some shops may have finishing kits available for purchase. Grand prize this year is a Bernina 440QE, quilter's edition sewing machine. There are also gift certificates to win! It's a guilt-fee opportunity to add to your stash.

For those unable to travel from fabric shop to fabric shop, there is the FabShop Hop on line. Check out this website for internet fun.
