“Bloomin’ Crazy for Quilts” Show supports Sleep in Heavenly Peace June 21-22
The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild presents “Bloomin’ Crazy for Quilts” on June 21-22, 2024 at the Lone Star Convention and Expo Center, 9055 Airport Rd, Conroe, Texas 77303. Hours are 10am – 5pm on Friday, June 21 and 9am – 4pm on Saturday, June 22. Admission is $10 for adults. Guests under age 18 are free.
The show will exhibit 255 quilts ranging in size from baby quilts to king sized quilts, and in style from traditional to modern to art quilts. A special challenge, “30 Something,” will feature quilts created to honor the guild’s 30th anniversary. Along with the quilt exhibit, the show will offer a silent auction, a boutique featuring quilts and other items handmade by guild members, mini quilts for charity, a schoolhouse, and 30 vendors offering both quilting and non-quilting items.
Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Montgomery County Chapter, will receive a portion of the show profits. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is a 501(c)(3) volunteer-run organization. Their mission is “No Kid Sleeps on The Floor in Our Town.” They provide beds to children that do not have a bed of their own. Volunteers build and deliver beds, including mattresses, pillows, and bedding for each child in their favorite colors and themes. They will accept donations of twin-sized bedding at the show.
The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild is celebrating 30 years of bringing quilters and quilt lovers together. Our mission, as a 501(c)(3) organization, is to perpetuate an appreciation of the rich heritage and art of quilting. This includes educating the public on the history and artistry of quilt making, enhancing members’ quilting skills and encouraging the art of quilting for future generations. We support a number of local charities with donations of quilts, such as Camp for All, Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Montgomery County Women’s Shelter, CASA, and Child Protective Services, to name a few!
