Last summer, the nonprofit Alliance for American Quilts hit New York City with Quilters Take Manhattan!, a series of three exciting benefit events. This summer, the organization "takes the show" to North Carolina and Nebraska. While the events vary in both program and venue, they're sure to offer lots of fun and excitement.

The Raleigh package includes a one-day admission to the Original Sewing & Quilt Expo as well as the evening panel discussion with quilt world notables John Adams, Tula Pink, Beth Hayes and others. Plus a first look at a new Alliance project called Go Tell It At The Quilt Show.  Find out more here.

The Omaha event includes a chance to peak inside the brand new headquarters of AccuQuilt, the company that makes the amazing fabric-cutters so beloved by Ricky and Alex. The Alliance is honoring Linda Pumphrey, global sales manager for AccuQuilt, who is leaving the Alliance board after many years. The program will include a look at Linda's impressive personal quilt collection, and remarks by Merikay Waldvogel, an historian who was inducted into the Quilters Hall of Fame.  Find out more here.
