If you’re a quilting enthusiast, then your weekend plans are all sewn up.
Head to Ringgold, Georgia, for the third annual Ringgold Quilt Show in the historic Ringgold Depot Thursday-Saturday, Aug. 22-24. Not only will there be about 100 quilts created by talented local quilters on display, but there will be vendors, demonstrations and even hands-on quilting activities.
“We have some really exceptional quilters in this area,” says Kathy Graham, owner of sponsor It’s Sew Time, about the quilts that will be displayed in competition. Ribbons will be given winners in seven categories and a sewing machine awarded to the Best in Show winner.
Graham says the show’s 15 vendors will have sewing machines, quilting machines, fabric, thread, sewing and quilting notions, as well as quilts for sale. Visitors will be able to learn more about new techniques and what’s new in accessories at this marketplace.
