At the beginning of June, the staff of AccuQuilt will be moving to a new headquarters building just 30 miles away in Omaha at 137th and Giles Road. The new building includes state-of-the-art warehousing facilities, as well as amenities for quilters to support and promote the advancement of quilting. The company’s roots go back more than three decades, when it began as a contract manufacturer known as Phoenix Manufacturing.
In addition to the office and warehouse facility where AccuQuilt GO!®, GO! Baby® and StudioTM Fabric Cutters are shipped across the U.S. and internationally, the new headquarters building contains a quilt gallery to show off traveling quilt collections. It also includes a state-of-the-art quilting studio, where quilters will be invited to tour and attend classes. The building even has a coffee bar to entertain guests. It is located just 40 miles from the International Quilt Study Center & Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.
After a one-day hiatus in services to accommodate the move, staff will be in place and ready to work in the new AccuQuilt headquarters building the first part of June. To celebrate the opening of the new headquarters, quilters from every corner of the U.S. and internationally will join AccuQuilt staff on June 22nd to see the unveiling of the winning design in the AccuQuilt Barn Quilt Design Contest. Find more info at http://www.accuquilt.com/barnquilt.html.
And don't forget, Alex will be at the unveiling which is free and open to the public!
Two quilting retreats will be held in conjunction with the grand opening and barn quilt raising, one before and one after the celebration. Quilters can get registration information at http://www.accuquilt.com/retreats-2012-ct. The celebration and retreats are being held in conjunction with the Omaha Quilt Show, which will be taking place at the same time just down the street from the AccuQuilt headquarters building.
