This
October, the scenic mountain hamlet of Weaverville will wrap itself
in cozy quilts. Your
hosts, the Thursday
Night Strippers Quilt Guild, invite you to a town-wide quilt
show spanning the entire Historic District. Balconies, railings,
store fronts and fencelines will be graced with the quilter's art--a
quarter mile of quilts!
Shopping opportunities abound! Local shops offer unique
items and quilting vendors will populate the Highland Meadow. Be
sure to pick up a Quilt Show program at our Welcome Booth, first
booth on the right as you enter the meadow. The program has handy
maps, schedules, coupons and may contain a winning ticket for a
door prize. Event T-shirts, mugs and gift cards are also available--your
purchase supports this quilt event.
NEW!
This year marks a new event--an auction of quilts
made by local guild members. Coordinated by the Log Cabin Quilt
Guild of Hayfork, you will be able to bid and win fabulous quilt
creations. Dozens of colorful quilts will be offered for your perusal
and purchase. See the auction quilts displayed at the Highland Art
Center grounds, then join the auction action in the Highland Meadow
that afternoon.
As an added bonus, enjoy the fall colors of the Trinity Alps. The
weather in October is the finest of the year, with pleasantly warm
days and cool evenings. Majestic Alpine peaks surround the valley
of Weaverville offering grand views in all directions and autumn
leaves complement the colorful quilts.
