Annual Spring Quilt Shows and Shop Hop by the Bay
T
here are many opportunities to see quilts on display in May, so we thought we’d mention a cou-
ple of local ones here for you. The American Association of
University Women, (AAUW) is host- ing their Annual Quilt Show on May 12 from 11am to 2pm. A wonderful selec- tion of contemporary quilts will be on display. Each quilt is beautifully crafted and proudly displayed. Tickets for the quilt viewing and light lunch are $15 per person, available at The Nimble Thimble at Garlic City Mercantile, 7550 Monterey St. Gilroy. Portions of the proceeds will benefit local high school and commu- nity college students through scholarships. This year Shop Hop by
The Bay will take place between June 20 and 24, with a few of our local quilting shops participating. Shop Hop by The Bay is the perfect opportunity for quilters to visit thirteen of the Bay Area’s best quilt shops, from San Francisco Bay to Monterey
Bay as well as the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. You will have five full days to shop, spend time with your quilting friends and be inspired! How does it work? It’s simple! Just
pick up your official “Shop Hop Passport” at the first shop you visit. Tour the stores, have your passport stamped and pickup your free gift at each shop. Although a visit to the beau- tiful San Jose Museum of Quilts and
Textiles is optional, doing so will enter you into the Museum’s own drawing for a wall-sized The local participating quilt shops in
Out & About Country are: Quilts & Things in Morgan Hill, The Nimble
Thimble in Gilroy, and Family Threads in San Juan Bautista. You can stop in at one of these shops during business hours and see some beautifully crafted quilts by local quilters and, if you’ve ever wanted to learn to quilt, you can sign up for a class at any of these great shops. Visit
