Georgia Celebrates Quilts

Before The Show
 Finalize Your Plans

 

Get your group together,whether you're filling the minivan or taking the sporty two-seater, and put together your game plan.  The Cobb County Civic Center has plenty of free parking.  We've made a list of nearby eateries. Plan to visit Historic Marietta Square for more shopping and great restaurants.  Check out our website for many other show details.

If you are a quilter, get your project list together.  If you are shopping for a sewing machine, all the major brands will be represented by local dealers.  Check them out without driving all over town.  Bring your holiday gift list too, and get a head start.

 

 

Show hours are 10 to 6 on Friday and Saturday; 10 to 4 on Sunday.  Friday morning is usually the busiest; the best times to view the quilts are from 4 to 6 on Friday and Saturday, and all day Sunday.  Sunday is also the day the Small Treasures Silent Auction bidding heats up.  So, if you want to be sure to take home a part of the show, Sunday is the best day for you.  The vendors are open and ready for you the entire time the show is open.
