The first quilt show in Paris, TX

Red River Valley Quilt Guild members donated 3 quilts to be raffle quilts for 3 nonprofit organizations whose works benefit our local area.  The quilt at the top left has been donated to the Downtown Food Pantry.  The center quilt with houses has been donated to Habitat for Humanity.  The lower quilt has been donated to New Hope Center of Paris. 

Each organization is currently selling raffle tickets for its quilt - $1 per ticket or $5 for 6 tickets.  Click on the Raffle Tickets link on the green bar above to learn more about each organization and to see how to buy tickets.  

You will have another opportunity during the quilt show since all 3 quilts will be displayed in a booth.  Remember, all ticket money supports our local area!

The Applications tab in the green bar above will take you to all application links.  Go there for forms and details.

Vendor Note - To help you unwind after a hard day of setting up booths, vendors are invited to a Vendor Reception on the evening of Thursday, May 9 at the Holiday Inn Express.  There will be more details closer to the event.  Free trolley tours will also be running for interested vendors, courtesy of the Lamar County Chamber of Commerce.

We are overwhelmed at the support our local businesses and people are showing for this, our first quilt show.  Click on the Sponsor link on the green bar above to see our sponsors to date.  There are not enough words to say how touched we are.

While enjoying the quilts entered in the show, you get the added treat of three special exhibits.  One will be quilts made by Arvana Goble, one of our Guild's most talented quilters.  Wait until you see the magic she works with fabric.  

The second special exhibit will be items made using the Eiffel Tower theme, of course!

The third special exhibit will be the famous The Supper quilt by Donald Locke, DDS.  Click on The Supper link on this page's header to take you to more information about this inspirational quilt.
