Original Sewing & Quilt Expo is delighted to announce Explorations in Quilting, the latest chapter in our ever-growing response to quilters’ requests for MORE! We’ve bumped up the quilting education program with more hours of workshops, a broader curriculum with exciting projects and technique classes, launched a new quilt competition and brought together more enthusiastic retail vendors to provide the most innovative tools, patterns, books, gadgets and fabrics for quilters ever! We’ve made it our mission to bring quilters and would-be quilters a high-level, more satisfying experience in the classroom, while they’re shopping and in our carefully chosen display collections.
Most enthusiasts never get to quilt shows beyond their own communities. When Original Sewing & Quilt Expo comes to Atlanta, GA this spring, many of the same vendors who routinely carry their booths to all corners of the country are present in the Exhibit Hall, with the newest and best in quiltmaking supplies and inspiration. They’ve traveled to you, so you don’t have to travel to them.
Additionally, by collecting a diverse and succinct number of quilt collections – some curated just for Original Sewing & Quilt Expo -- you can see the caliber and artistic range of highly sought-after quilts otherwise available to those in far-away cities. Following our first curated invitational exhibition last year, we are pleased to announce many specially collected quilts and quilt collections will again grace the Display Gallery in Atlanta.
Please join us as we explore the developments and variations quiltmakers are pursuing today. Plan to spend some quiet time absorbing the artistry we’ve collected for you this year. It’ll be wonderful.
