The 2020 Membership drive will begin in September.  We need someone to take photos for the directory at the Sept, Oct, Nov/Dec and Jan meetings. (for those members that do not have a photo in this directory).  Having the photos in the directory is a great way to help learn everyone’s name.

Registration is Now Closed

Thank you for your interest in showing your quilts at our 2019 show.  Registration is now closed.  We are excited to announce that 288 quilts have been registered.  This looks to be an excellent show.  Also, a special shout out to Adele Atha who was the first to register a quilt this year on January 1st @ 1:01pm.  And congratulations to Sonja Koch who registered the last quilt on March 1st @ 11:00pm.  And many thanks and best of luck to those who registered the 286 quilts in between!

No Limits on Non-Judged Quilts

We have had some questions concerning the number of quilts per category.  We have had a rule for the last several quilt shows that each person can only enter 2 quilts per category.  This is still the case for all JUDGED quilts.  However, we have a large venue for this show which can handle a higher number of hung quilts.  So if you have more than 2 quilts that need to go into the same category, please feel free to enter as many as you would like…but please be sure to only register 2 of them as JUDGED and the remaining quilts should be marked as NON-JUDGED.  Registration deadline is coming soon–March 1st.  Drop-off deadline is March 15th.

Tomorrow’s Heirlooms XVII Quilt Show — Registration NOW Open

We are now ready to accept your registration(s) for quilts in our April 2019 show.  Please visit the Quilt Show page, for show & registration information, including location, categories, rules, etc.  Register online, and then send in your registration fee & photos to complete the process.  Be a part of the largest quilt show in Northwest Arkansas!

Susan Cleveland to be Featured Teacher at 2019 QUILT Show

Susan Cleveland will be featured teacher at our 2019 QUILT show, Tomorrow’s Heirlooms, scheduled April 5-6, at the ENCORE Event Center in Springdale.
Susan is a renowned teacher and will be teaching classes on both Friday and Saturday.
The Friday morning class will be 9 a.m.-noon.
Piping Hot Curves – Macaroni
Accent curves with piping! This technique is wonderful for traditional curved patterns and great for contemporary designs. In class students will learn to make perfect piping and add that piping to the lively, curvy macaroni block. Piping adds pizzazz! Quilting and finishing will be discussed. A kit for purchase in class will contain pre-cut fabrics to make two 6″ blocks.
Cost: $40 for QUILT members, and $45 for nonmembers. The cost includes a class kit. Class size is limited to 20.

The Saturday class is 9a.m.-noon.

Quilt Bindings: Simple to Spectacular
With lively projected demos every detail of a quality finish will be covered including some revolutionary ideas! I’ll cover preparing and squaring the quilt, making nice miters, joining tails (my special technique), and finishing for a show-quality back. Options such as an all-machine finish and odd angled corners will be shown as well. Things will then get wild with my Piping Hot Binding technique and lots of variations such as double-piping; embellished piping; invisible binding with piping; and, drum roll, please, my brand new calligraphic binding from my 2016 show quilt. Give your quilts the fabulous finishes they deserve!
Cost: $10 for everyone. This is a demonstration class only. No hands-on work.

The building will open for those attending class at 8:30 a.m.

Susan will also present a one-hour lecture on Friday, time to be announced.
