Great River quilt show
The Great River Quilt Show is held bi-annually (even numbered years). The show is an exciting and educational event that requires a huge amount of preparation. We are always excited to have the opportunity to showcase the amazing talents of our members.
Mark your calendars for October 2024. The show is moving to a cooler month!
