Matildia, the quilt walk is a story about our towns early survival [
http://quiltwalktalk.blogspot.com/20...alk-story.html] you can read about it here. About ten years ago Claudia [
http://quilts-quiltwalker.blogspot.com/] who is a master quilter and is one of the best people I know, thought about doing a quilt festival in our town since quilting is so much of our past. Almost singlehandedly she began to put it together. The festival is called the Quilt Walk Festival [www.quiltwalk.com]
and it gets bigger each year. We usually have about 300 quilts on show and I noticed we had 66 different classes offered. There will be tons of other activities. Our town is pretty small so this is a big deal.
sorry for all the links but they help answer your question. I hope it is not more than you wanted to know.
