The San Diego Quilt Show (SDQS) is all done by volunteers. There will be over 300 quilts on display, a fashion challenge, and opportunity quilts. The Old Town San Diego Quilt Guild will be demonstrating an old fashioned quilting bee.
Special Exhibits include: Quilts on the Wall: Archaeology, Quilts Then and Now, Photographs on Fiber: A Collaboration, and a display of San Dieog Quilt Show Ephemera with a look at quiltmaking when the San Diego Quilt Show first began to the present, all round out the special exhibits.
The show kicks off with a pre-view party on Wed., September 7th (6-9pm) which will raise funds for Rick Roberts' Warrior Foundation program. Tickets are $15 in advance and you can purchase with a SASE (until Sept 1), to P.O. Box 420148, San Diego, CA 92142. Must be received by September 5th and all checks received after September lst, the tickets will be held at will call at the entrance to Hall H at 5:45PM on the 7th.
There will also be a surprise presentation by the 2011 Guest Artist Eleanor Burns, founder of Quilt in a Day.
Tickets for the preview party, if available, will be $25 at the door. This event typically sells out, so order tickets early.
Rick Roberts’ Warrior Foundations mission is to help wounded and disabled military heroes leading the fight in the war against terror. The Foundation vows to assist, honor, and support the soldiers who have so bravely served and sacrificed for our country. The Warrior Foundation, through the Navy League, is a non-profit, 501c3. All funds go directly to support these troops.
Many Vendors will be offering Make-N-Takes during the show. For a complete schedule of these activities be sure to visit the SDQS booth, when you first arrive, as a current schedule will be posted in this booth, as well as a copy in the lobby.
