Get up bright and

Quilts show.
Be the first in line at
your favorite vendors' booth. See all the latest gadgets and
fabrics. Shop for a new sewing machine! All the
best will be here.
Check out the great
one-of-a-kind items in the Small Treasures Auction. Get your
bids in early.
Be sure to buy raffle
tickets to win all sorts of goodies. The beautiful quilt
seen to the left, and sewing machines are waiting for you to take
them home. Proceeds support the East Cobb Quilters' Guild
quilting education programs.
Order your DVD of the
show so you don't have to worry about taking pictures of
everything.
Saturday - Visit all the nearby quilt
shops. Take a class
or two. Have your own mini Shop Hop. These are all
exceptional shops, each with their own unique style. See them
all while you're in the area.
Then go back to the
show for a leisurly afternoon of enjoying quilts, placing a new bid
on your favorite auction item, and looking at that new sewing
machine you're surely going to buy.
Head back to your
hotel, compare purchases with your quilting buddies, and have a
lovely dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Sunday, come back to the show. Things
will have calmed down a little. Sunday is a great day to
really study your favorite quilts. Take some notes and
detailed pictures. Put your feet up as you relax in a chair
overlooking the quilt floor. It's a wonderful
sight.
But don't get too
relaxed. It's time to buy that shiny new sewing machine you've
been looking at for the last 3 days!
And
the bidding is closing on your favorite auction
items. Be there to enter your winning bids. The feathers
will fly.
Don't miss the
excitement as we announce the winners of the Raffle Quilt and the
sewing machines.
