Visit www.mnquilt.org/mq2009 for information about the classes and lectures available and how to register. Some classes are already full so you might want to visit the site soon if you are interested.
A popular activity of the event is the Fat Quarter Stroll. This activity starts with purchasing a passport. Then you’ll visit featured booths and area shops, purchase a fat quarter from each location and have your passport punched. Turn in your passport to the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center with 1-6 punches and you will be entered to win a $75 gift certificateto a quilt shop of your choice. If you have all 10 locations punched, you will be entered to win the grand prize of a $150 gift certificateto a quilt shop of your choice provided by Minnesota Quilters, Inc.
The show hours are 7:30 a.m.-9:00 p.m. so there will be plenty of time for browsing and shopping. The displayed quilts are spectacular so plan to take this trip even if you don’t want to participate in the classes or lectures.
