2025 WFQ show - Bed Turning!

We think our popular "Bed Turning" is a highlight of every show and our guests agree!

Teri Bever and her team of Sandy Nannen and Noni Moody put together a fun retrospective of quilts in "old and new" patterns, styles, and fabrics this year.  We enjoyed Teri's narrative about each pattern and how the vintage and newer quilts compare.  We hope you attended!

Next year what will the Bed Turning theme be?  

Please come to the show and find out!

2025 - WFQ quilt and fiber art show goes up!

We worked HARD yesterday in the HEAT putting up stands and quilts.   About half of the show is up and the rest will go up today.  THANKS to the MANY volunteers who came to help out!

Plus our registrars and their crew checked in all the quilts and fiber art pieces yesterday!  A smooth check-in because of these experienced volunteers. 

You'll LOVE our special exhibits and the bed turning!  See you Friday, Saturday, or Sunday!
