Kansas City Regional Quilt Fest June 2019
for those of you that may be in the Midwest--or at least in mid June, the KCRQF is an every 2 yrs event that is sponsored by 18(has grown from 15) regional quilt guilds--the guilds do all the planning and work. About the only thing hired out is the handling of the hanging frames. The dates are June 13-15, 2019.
The recent announcement on the website is that tickets for groups that may be coming as a bus trip have recently gone on sale--including a welcome person, etc for when your bus group arrives.
Expected are about 35 vendors; in 2017 we(my guild actually did this)hung over 700 quilts--both the sponsoring guild displays and also juried quilts, a special display, demo's and tons of classes. Classes opens to the public this coming week. A great variety of trunk shows, domestic machine projects, long arm classes, technique, etc--3 1/2 days of classes.
And Ricky Tims will be here for 2 special concerts/shows about his journey with quilting--plus he has a series of classes too!
On Wed evening, there is a preview--tickets to this allow you to come in early, bid on mini quilts (proceeds to go to two sewing related non-profits in the KC area) and enjoy some appetizers and a cash bar. Tickets for this are $40
This is just a great quilt show, located in the Overland Park KS Convention Center (suburb of KC) with lots of hotels close by--and keep in mind that besides Mo. Star Quilt Co. in Hamilton MO is only about 90 minutes up the road, the KC area has LOTS of quilt shops in the area too. Hope to see you there--
