Your General Admission ticket will give you all-day access to the Exhibit Hall and everything inside it. Shopping, with vendors from across the US and Canada, plus a few from around the world. Check out projects up close, discuss quilting techniques with designers, sit down to test drive new sewing and embroidery machines and see the latest tools and techniques to help you get more satisfaction out of your own stitching.

Stage Presentations running throughout the Show, will let you in on glorious trunk shows and how-to demonstrations.

The Display Gallery, with wonderful quilts of all sizes and styles provides you with a place to simply absorb the talent, the ideas, the wonder of our shared creative adventures.

What are the benefits of staying overnight at a hotel?
Find extra satisfaction when you take a break from your day-to-day routine and stay a hotel. Once you arrive, you’re there for the duration – no household to keep on schedule, no interruptions from work or family . . . it’s really all about YOU! You’ll meet others attending the Show, and make new friends over breakfast in the time you’d otherwise spend in traffic . . . you’ll have time to share the day’s activities over dinner (or dessert if you take an evening class) and enjoy the social rewards of the Show as much as the shopping and classes. Staying at a hotel makes your Georgia Quilt Show experience a mini-vacation, all for YOU!
