Thanks!
Is there some kind of website we can visit, or some kind of mailing list we can get on, to know when it's coming?

I travel that-a-way now and then, and would love to see it.
The Quilt Festival is presented by the Western Heritage Museum here in Hobbs. I usually save the "best" quilts that are turned in during the year and bring them for display. The quilts remain hanging for 1 month. The effort to hang an exhibit is enormous, so we let them live there that long. This is also a time when there isn't much else going on, except tourists, so it's a good time for the Festival. Every other year we have guest speakers an dendors, but this year we had a make-it-and-take-it workshop for anyone who was there. We even got a guy (husband) who really got into the whole quilting thing!!! He was so proud of his little 4-patch quilt he made. We were too!
The Festival is usually held from the middle of June to the middle of July. I don't know when it will be next year, yet.
