Quilt Fest 2010 Welcome

We are thrilled with the large number of registrations we have received for Quilt Fest 2010 and we look forward to a great turn out this year.  For classes where the number of requests was over the class size limit, the random computer selection was held on July 19, 2010.  As the classes fill, we will update the information on the website.  We still have wonderful classes available, but they are filling up fast, in addition to the lunches, so send in your registration soon.

We are excited about all of the events that we have planned including the quilt show, teachers, classes, vendors, lectures, luncheons and the special evening on Friday night.

Quilt Fest will be held at the Zermatt Resort in Midway, Utah, October 5-9. The Zermatt Resort and Spa was designed to resemble a quaint alpine village, offering 360 degree views of the Wasatch Mountains and surrounding foothills. It is a resort with the charm and cultural feel that Europe is famous for. If you still need to make reservations, call 1-866-535-6053 and ask for the special Quilt Fest rates.

The quilt show, vendors and opportunity quilt will be in the Bernese Center, just a few feet from the convention center. All of the classes, lectures, luncheons, and multiple other activities will be in the convention center.

This year, every person who registers will receive a pin and project bag. You are welcome to bring two of your friends to one of the luncheon/lectures without them having to pay the registration fee.  However, they will still have to pay for the lunch. We thought this would be a great way to introduce new and prospective members to Quilt Fest.

If you are planning on attending any of the classes or lectures, (other than Friday night) you will have to register and pay the registration fee. In order to attend a class, your name needs to be on the roll and you will need your name tag on. You may sell your place in a class to someone else, but it needs to be done through the registrar.

Mary Stori, one of our amazing national teachers, will open our event on Tuesday night. The quilt show winners will be announced and then you will have the opportunity to meet all of our great teachers. The quilt show and vendor area will be open after the meeting for your enjoyment.

At each of our luncheons, we will have a lecture/trunk show from one of our national teachers, there will be door prizes and other fun activities. Norah McMeeking will speak on Wednesday, John Flynn on Thursday and Sue Nickels on Friday. On Saturday, Sue Gilgen, from St. George, will show us some of her incredible quilts. The Silver Thimble award winner will be announced during the Wednesday luncheon.

On Friday night, Bob Purcell, from Superior Threads, will present his awesome Thread Therapy with Dr. Bob. Right after this event, we will have the auction of our festival baskets and then show and tell. We hope that you will bring one of your quilts to show us. There is no charge for Friday night's activities as this event is open to anyone who would like to attend. In order to get an approximate number of attendees for this event, please check on the registration form if you will be attending and the number of guests you might be bringing. And, then if you want to enjoy the rest of the night, sign up for the all night mystery class!

There will be a modest one time $3.00 charge to enter the quilt show/vendor area unless you are registered for Quilt Fest and then of course, you will get in free at any time. Children under 10 will be admitted free if accompanied by an adult.

We expect Quilt Fest 2010 to be an exciting event and hope that you will bring your friends and join us!
