Have you heard about the

Kansas City Regional Quilt Festival?

This summer, June 19 to 21, will be the inaugural show at the Overland Park Convention Center. There will be classes taught by national teachers. Lots of vendors will be showing their wares. Quilts will be on display. Sounds like lots of fun right in our own backyard. For more information look at their website at kcrqf.com and friend them on Facebook. 

Did you read the information about the NIFS Challenge at the beginning of the newsletter? The ladies that bring you Shop Hop would like to challenge you to use the 2015 Wild About Nebraska panel in a project. Big or small, quilt, wall hanging, wearable or anything else. Put on your thinking cap and sew up something using all or part of our panel. No charge to enter. Just bring in your finished project to our store by April 1st. We'll hang all the entries up during Shop Hop and have the shoppers vote for their favorite. The one with the most votes will win a $50 gift certificate from The Quilt Basket and it will be entered in the statewide contest. The winner of all the statewide winners will receive a $100 gift certificate that can be spent at any Shop Hop store. Panels are available at our store at the reduced price of $6 each. You've got a month to get finished, so Ready, Set, GO!!!

 The April Gallery will feature Panel Projects that are entered into the Challenge. We'd also like to hang quilts that are in keeping with the Shop Hop Theme, Follow the Dots to Fun. So if you have any quilts that have polka dot fabric in them or maybe have big circles, please plan to bring them to us to hang in our gallery in April. Thanks for your help. We'd hate to have empty walls!
