Alex, Ricky, Justin, John, Lilo, Ruth and Bob want to thank you for being such good friends. Keep spreading the word and be sure to thank our sponsors so we can take a Road Trip near your house next year.

We've listened to your suggestions and we are very excited about Series 3 which will be out starting July 7. You will receive a newsletter soon letting you know about our wonderful teachers coming in the second half of 2008. It's really the best way we know to thank you.

Free Tickets Available
It's time to reserve your tickets for the next series of TQS tapings! Information regarding dates, guidelines, and policies for requesting tickets appears below. If you plan to fly, the Colorado Springs airport--one hour and 45 minutes from La Veta--is the best option (Denver is three hours away). Lodging in La Veta is VERY limited, but Walsenburg (15 minutes away) has several hotels. Pueblo, Trinidad, and Alamosa are larger cities with plenty of amenities, and each is about one hour from La Veta. For general information on La Veta, click here.

Twelve Shows

Dates: Thursday - Tuesday, September 4 - 9, 2008

Two shows are taped each day. Attendance for the entire day is required.

Cutoff date for requests: August 13, 2008 or when 'Sold Out'

1. Tickets are FREE and available only to TQS members (both Basic and Star). Tickets are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

2. When requesting a ticket, you must provide your TQS screen name along with your first and last names.

3. If you are requesting tickets for someone other than yourself, you will need to provide their TQS screen name and first/last names along with your information at the time of request. (Non-members of TQS can join here.) Make sure all screen names are spelled correctly. Screen names not found in the TQS Membership database will not be processed.

4. Due to the overwhelming demand, tickets will be distributed for ONE day's attendance (two shows) only. You may request tickets for one additional day, but these requests will be honored only if space remains following the cutoff date.

Please include the word TICKET in the subject line of your e-mail ticket request to ensure that your order is processed promptly. Be specific regarding the date you wish to attend, and--again--be sure to list the screen names and first/last names of EACH person for whom you are requesting a ticket. .

Tickets will be confirmed via an e-mail document.

All tickets issued MUST be used. Please do not request tickets if you or your guests are not committed to attending. Seating is limited to 40 per day, and we do not overbook; therefore, unused tickets result in empty seats. This diminishes the energy of the show and denies someone else the opportunity to attend.

To make your request for a free ticket, or to receive further information about tickets and our ticket policies, e-mail service@thequiltshow.com. If you are a quilt shop or quilt guild wishing to bring a LARGE group to the tapings, please contact Lilo directly at (719) 481-1757.

“Oh what fun one of those cutters would be,” was a comment made in our Daily Blog in response to seeing an AccuCut on the TQS Road Trip – Part One. During the taping of the Road Trip back in February, Alex & Ricky surprised Bunny’s Quilt Class but were in turn surprised by Bunny. They fell in love with the cutting machine that was being used to make the charity quilts so quick and easy. The machine is an AccuCut. AccuCut has been in the education and craft industry, and then they developed their system to help quilters. AccuCut has recently agreed to support TQS as our newest Site Sponsor. Click on their banner to see the great video that shows the system up close. Please take a moment to email and welcome AccuCut Quilt, and continue watching their banner to your left for more creative ideas.
