Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025 from 9 am – 4pm
Statesville Civic Center
300 South Center St. Statesville, NC 28677
Admission $5.00
No coupons. Everyone gets $5 admission. (It’s our way of saying “Thank you”.)
Thank you to everyone that attended the show and supported us in 2024.
Relaxed shopping with all your favorite shops! Save Time and Gas! No Traffic Headaches! Unlike a shop hop, this is a “Shop Stroll”. Take your time, walking up and down the aisles, have some lunch, maybe a sweet snack, buy some fabric, look at books, plan a new project, maybe even buy a sewing machine. Do all this without leaving the building. Even the smallest purchase will let your local shops know that quilters need and appreciate them.
This will be our 16th year to do this show.
We continue to be awed by your support for us and our vendors. This year your support is especially needed. Several of our shops are from WNC. I don’t have to tell you how difficult it has been for their businesses. Bring your friends to the show. Buy a yard of fabric or a ruler from these merchants. This is a “hands-on” way to support all of us.
Downtown Statesville is small, easy to navigate and welcoming.
Get to the show by 9 am for specials and chances to WIN! The first 100 people to buy an admission ticket each day will get two chances to win all day long. So, that is two chances for hourly door prizes, two chances for the daily grand prize drawing.
We will be giving away hourly door prizes.
If you don’t win a machine, then test drive any of the several machines that will be displayed. Sewing machines, embroidery machines and long arm quilting machines with be featured so that you can shop and compare without having to drive from shop to shop.
Each day at 2pm, we will be giving away bundle of red, white and blue fabrics for QOV quilt makers. Each bundle contains 25 – 30 yards of fabric. We will give away 3 bundles on Friday and 2 bundles on Saturday.
Each day we will have a Grand Prize Drawing at 3pm. On Friday, Sew Original from Winston Salem and Studio Stitch from Greensboro will be giving away a Tutto Sewing machine case. To make it even sweeter, we are going to fill it with fabric, books and notions.
Saturday at 3pm, we will give away another big basket of goodies.
We can shop and be safe. If you are worried about a crowd, Saturdays are not as crowded as Fridays and afternoons are much less crowded that mornings.
This show continues to attract quilters and knitters from all over Piedmont NC. Join us for a day of shopping in lovely downtown Statesville. This is small town America at its best. Shop, eat, plan, and create all in the same place. After all the cooking, baking, cleaning, packing, wrapping, stacking, mailing, and scurrying of the holidays, treat yourself to a relaxing day. Reward yourself with a new quilting or knitting project. Leave the show ready to hibernate in your sewing room room or curl up in your favorite knitting chair with a new project.
