Out & About: Join Us at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival

Once again Veronica is packing her bags and heading to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival to teach a variety of classes and interact with quilters at the Bear Thread Designs booth! Have you been to a previous year's festival? Have you take classes from Veronica there? You don't want to miss this event!

The Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival returns to Loveland Colorado, August 17 - 19.

The festival showcases antique, traditional and contemporary quilts, dolls, clothing items,
and other needle art incorporating a wide array of techniques - more than 600 Quilt Art pieces will be on display! Time to put on your comfy shoes!

More than 75 vendors have already signed up and more are anticipated, so roll your pennies - or clean out the saving account - because it's Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival time!

Everyone who attended last year and left saying, "I wish I'd signed up for a class" is already signing up, so don't delay. Go to the Rocky Mountain Quilt Festival website to sign-up for your classes!

Along with Veronica, there will be 12 other teachers, with more than 15 classes a day over the 3-days of festival! Wow!

Are you wonder what Veronica will be teaching? Take a look!
