Irving Convention Center
“Sing Your Song in Fabric”
We need YOU to enter your quilts! We have had some extra at home time lately, so hopefully you have had time to work on some entries.
Quilts of all styles and sizes (no larger than 90″) are needed. There is even a theme category!
We also need miniatures for the mini auction. Linda McPherson has done a fabulous job with this for a few years, and she is doing it again! Yea!!!
Kathy Hester and Lea Bailey are collecting items for the Guild booth. We have had great results the last two years and look forward to 2021. Here is a big “Thank You” to Kathy and Lea.
If you have questions, just contact me. My info is in the directory.
