Apple Cider &

his snuggle quilts

Firehouse Quilts 3rd Annual Quilt Show

Cherry Hills Community Church

3900 E. Grace Blvd., Highlands Ranch, CO 80126

July 18 & 19, 2008

  This is our annual FUND RAISING event!

FHQ is excited to announce our 3rd annual quilt show & contest

in a new (larger) location with new dates! 

We now have well over 100 quilts entered in our 2008 show,

we're sold out of vendor spaces and we've scheduled a variety

of local musicians to playbeautiful, background

music (live!) all day/both days.

We collected 100 'special' FHQ snuggle quilts to show you

in an hourly Bed Turning event.

Our Dalmatian logo dog will be available (live!) both days

from 1pm-3pm so you can take your picture with him (Apple Cider);  as well as two other really cute photo displays

offered for fun & for free. 

We created the CUTEST jacket display racks so be sure

to find the quilted jackets display,

you'll want to take pictures of that for sure!

Jeananne Wright (303-772-7684) will be doing quilt appraisals

for those of you that schedule in advance.  Call her soon!

Two local quilt clubs will be selling tickets for their raffle quilts,

we'll have several 'Celebrity Judges' taking part in a fun judging event around noon on Friday, July 18th, just as the show opens.

Our resident FHQ photographer, Walt Furstenau, will be taking pictures of all the quilts as they are on display, the winners,

the vendors & their wares, the Dalmatian, the Bed Turning and

of course, YOU, our welcome visitors!

Oooh, just come to the show and see it all for yourself!

Don't forget YOUR camera!

Thanks,

Firehouse Quilts
