Quilt Tour: Smooth Sailing
March 24-27, 2010
 Gather your friends for a spring quilt tour!
Receive a free nautical quilt pattern designed by each shop just for
 this annual event!

WHY: Join us for a spring tour of shops, a quilt show and a chance to
 collect a custom designed pattern for free!

WHERE: Start the tour at any 1 of 15 shops located in Whatcom, Skagit
 and Snohomish counties. See the complete list here:
 http://quilttour.com

WHEN: March 24-27, 2010 9am - 7 pm.

HOW: This year our theme is "Smooth Sailing" and the blocks are nautical.
 Each shop designs a block and submits it to the group. Once all the
 patterns
 are
submitted, each shop designs and puts together a nautical quilt with
unique
 colors and setting. You'd be amazed at how fantastic and different each
one
 is!

WHO: Participating shops are located in Whatcom, Skagit and Snohomish
counties. These shops cater to the quilter and creative sewer with
fine printed cottons, books, classes and services to help the quilter.

The Tri-County Quilt Merchant Association is a group of 15independently owned and operated quilt shops in Whatcom, Skagit and
Snohomish counties. The group formed 4 years ago to promote quilting
 in the region. To accomplish this the group meets regularly to share
 ideas for publicity. "We shamelessly promote shops in our network
 through a map we hand out to visitors in the area." We currently hold
 two events a year: in March we have a Quilt Tour and in the fall we
host
