Quilters' Guild of the Bluegrass will be hosting Quilter's Day Out on March 19, 2011 at the Fayette County Extension Office. This free program celebrates National Quilting Day and runs from 10:00 am-3:00 pm.  Doors open for registration and shopping at 9:00 am.  

The morning program features Karen Witt and her daughter Erin.  They will talk about their new book Like Mother/Like Daughter-Two Generations of Quilts and present a trunk show of their work.  The afternoon program includes the Square in a Square Technique and quilts presented by Rita Hardman. 

 The Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society challenge quilts will be on display.  There will be refreshments, vendors, door prizes, quilt raffle, and lots of show and tell.  Non-perishable food items will be collected for God's Pantry.  Anyone who brings in three or more non-perishable donations for God's Pantry will receive an extra door prize ticket.   

Everyone is invited to bring up to three quilts to show and share.  Lunch is bring-your-own-brown-bag, or choose one of the many restaurant options nearby.  Car pooling is encouraged.

The Fayette County Extension Office is located at 1140 Red Mile Place in Lexington, KY.
