Fabulous festival
members have read the same book
and then created a quilt using the
book as inspiration — it’s a six
month process. According to the
group’s website, the club began as
an effort to make more interesting
quilts and
be motivated to get them finished.

The Hoffman Challenge
premiere traveling quilt, clothing
and doll collectionwill be on display.
There are three quilt categories —
pieced, appliqué and mixed
technique—and attendees will also
see wearable art, accessories and
dolls crafted from people from
around the world. Each year,
according to its website, top entries
are grouped into traveling
collections to be displayed at shows
such as the expo.
O’Donnell said that several long
arm vendors will also be on-hand at
the show to allow attendees to try
the art of long arm quilting.
“They are knowledgeable and
very helpful. If you are thinking of
purchasing a
machine, this is a
great way to try
several machines
before you buy,”
she said. “If you
want something
smaller, there are
several mid- arm
machines and
sewingmachines
available to look
at also.”
Thousands of
quilters from
around the world
attend the expo
each year — and
each year incorporates new
showcases.
“It is a great opportunity to meet
fellow quilters,” O’Donnell said,
“and perhaps talk about new ideas
and inspirations.”
