Forsyth Piecers and Quilters Guild invites you to their 2018 quilt show, Winston-Salem Quilts 2018. Held on November 2nd and 3rd in a spacious and bright location, the Gateway YWCA located in downtown Winston-Salem, the quilt show will not only include over 150 juried quilts by local quilters, but also present the ‘Hall of Champions’ displaying quilts made by professionals, teachers, and members who have had quilts juried in a national show. We are very excited to be including trunks shows free with $5 daily admission (or $7 for a 2-day pass) this year. Cindy Page and Patti Cline of Quilter’s Gallery will share 50 of their quilts on Friday @ 2pm and Lee Chappell Monroe, an internationally known modern quilt designer, blogger and teacher, will present on Saturday @ 2 pm. Lee loves color and bold graphic designs and has had work appear in multiple publications including Stitch, Quiltmaker and Modern Patchwork.
Other highlights include special exhibitions of modern quilts by members of the Triad Modern Quilt Guild, art quilts created by Beecasso’s Quilting group, as well as a separate display featuring art quilts by Ania Reich, a guild member and semifinalist in the 2017 AQS Quilt Show. Up to 15 vendors will be in attendance and present as many as 5 demonstrations each day covering a variety of topics and techniques.
Make sure to include a visit to our boutique of handmade gifts and to Granny’s Attic with fabric for sale, along with magazines and books and participate in our ’Two for One’ quilt raffle (two quilts, each ticket included in both drawings). There will also be quilts for sale, door prizes, an ongoing silent auction of items including sewing machines, completed quilt tops and kits, and a Quilts of Valor presentation. Admission is $5 per day or $7 for a 2-day pass. Children under 12 are free. Parking is also free and the site is handicapped accessible.
