Quilting Expo - July 19 & 20
The first 100 people in the door each day get two chances to win door prizes and sewing machines. Many vendors have Early Bird Specials from 9:00-10:00 am each day.
There will be a food truck at the Shrine Center during lunch hours again this year and a desert truck with sweet things, water and soft drinks.
There is a prize drawing for a sewing machine each day at 3pm. Creative Sewing is giving away a Baby Lock Ellure Plus sewing and embroidery machine on Friday afternoon (MSRP - $3499) and Sew Suite Studios is giving away a Juki HZL80 on Saturday afternoon (MSRP - $599).
The quilt show features the work of Quilters of South Carolina This year the show will have over 200 quilts - that’s twice as many quilts as last year!
Quilt of Valor will also have a display. Do you know that SC has the most active QOV members of any state? Last year SC donated more than 20,000 quilts to our veterans.
