Mark your calendars for the 1st annual International Quilt Festival of Ireland, June 7th - 10th, 2012, yes, 2012. This convention will be something new as it will not be held in a convention hall, but in a specially designed quilter's village on the banks of the River Corrib. There will be everything from a Farmer's Market, to a chocolate shop, to hands-on quilting classes. There will even be programs for non-quilters.
The Irish Patchwork Society, the Quilter's Guild of Ireland, the Northern Ireland Patchwork Guild and Sew Many Places, welcome you to their one-of-a-kind festival. For more information please visit their website by clicking here.
On June 7, 2011, you will have the opportunity to sign up for all of the hands-on quilting classes, on location workshops, and non-quilter activities, so mark this date on your calendar!
