The Noble Nimble Thimbles Quilt Guild of Albion, Indiana is proud to present...
The 22nd Annual Gathering of Quilters
March 17, 2012
Located at Kruse Automotive & Carriage Museum and WW II Victory Museum located on I 69 just south of Auburn, Indiana.
The Gathering of Quilters …is just that.
On the third Saturday in March quilters come together from northern Indiana, southern Michigan, western Ohio, eastern Illinois and points beyond to share their craft. The group has grown from just a handful in 1990 to around 800 attendees in 2010. Various quilt guilds take turns hosting this quilter's fun day, by engaging a speaker, presenting a quilt show, sponsoring a vendors’ mall and just about anything else they think quilters would enjoy. The Noble Nimble Thimbles last hosted the event in 2006 and are excited to be doing so again.
What's in store for 2012…
Our featured speaker is author, instructor, fabric and pattern designer, and quilter extraordi-naire, Edyta Sitar. Vendors will be offering a variety of shopping opportunities. Traditional events such as the Ugly Fabric Exchange and Challenge, the annual Block Swap, and Show and Tell will give attendees chances to participate in the fun. Local quilters will present a quilt show and there will be many door prizes thanks to the generosity of our vendors, advertisers and sponsors.
Hours:
Doors will open at 8AM with guest check-in from 8-9. The program will begin at 9AM with our speaker's presentation beginning at 10AM.
Vendor booths will be open from 9AM-4PM (closed during speaker's presentation)
More to come…
In the coming months we will be adding information and forms, so please keep checking.
