Save the date for the Llano Grande Quilting Bee’s Quilt Show, Fabulous Fiesta of Quilts. The show will be held Tuesday, January 30, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Llano Grande Event Center, 2215 East West Blvd. (off Mile 2 West) in Mercedes.

The Bee’s Opportunity Quilt is a fiesta rainbow of colors set off by a black background. The quilt has wool batting and measures 105 x 105. Tickets to win this quilt can be purchased from any Bee member or at the Show. The drawing will be held at the end of the show, and you do not need to be present to win.

The quilt challenge theme for this year is “Fiesta.” Bee members who submit an entry must include a musical note and all, or a portion, of a 5” square of fabric provided by the Bee. There will be an assortment of categories highlighting the skills and creativity of the Bee members.

Admission to the show is $3 and includes door prizes, displays of countless beautiful quilts, totes and purse drawings, vendors with the latest fabrics and patterns, demonstrations, and a boutique offering handmade items from our Bee members.
