Tour the businesses and note that many of the quilts are for sale. Many quilters arrive early to participate in Quilter’s Affair workshops, classes and events, produced by Stitchin’ Post. Quilter’s Affair runs Monday-Friday of quilt week. Sign up early! The show’s Men Behind the Quilts Auction and Calendar Premier Party will be held Wednesday, July 11. Join show volunteers as they reveal this 2019, 12-month calendar featuring gorgeous quilts — which will be auctioned off — and the equally handsome, community-minded men of Sisters Country. The calendars always sell out — make sure you get several for yourself and gifts for friends and family! On Sunday, July 15, visit the FivePine campus at the east end of town for a stunning outdoor display and lecture by Valori Wells during this, her 20th year as a fabric designer and her 40th fabric collection. The show’s special events sell out early, so get your tickets now. Many visitors enhance their experience of the Quilt Show by helping to put it on.
