“A Cure for the Blues”

Day Camp Feb 25, 26 & 27

Join us for an exciting, educational and fun 3 days to chase away those mid-winter blues. This Day Camp is open to all quilters regardless of skill level. All quilters will receive a gift bag, handouts, snacks & drinks and lunch on Saturday and Sunday! Plus, a chance to win free quilting, fabrics, speciality rulers, wool pressing mat, quilting books, notions or a Go Me fabric cutter by Accquilt. Total of all prizes over $500!

We will be quilting in the beautiful Ag building at the Randolph County Fairgrounds, across from Camp Pioneer and next to the Dakan Arena. This facility has individual tables for each quilter, lots of lighting and natural light, and plenty of electrical plugs. Overnight security is assured. This event is one NOT to be missed! The price for all three days is only $85. NOTE: participation is limited to the first 20 paid registrations.

Come sew with us for 3 days of fun! All quilters may come and go as they need to. Experienced quilters may bring their own projects and work at their own pace. A Mystery Quilt Project will be provided for those who wish to create something new and possibly a little out of your comfort zone. Beginner quilters are welcome over the age of 15 (accompanied by an adult) and will receive small group instruction during several breakout sessions at no additional charge. Don’t miss it.
