LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild is happy to announce that the Falling Leaves Quilt Show will occur as planned at the Lake County Fairgrounds this weekend.
With fire crews based in the fairgrounds – located at 401 Martin St. – quilt show organizers have been holding their breaths and assessing other locations while waiting to learn if the show’s long-time venue will be available in time for the show to open this weekend.
The quilt guild learned Monday that firefighters who have been fighting the Valley fire are now leaving Lake County and the fairground is available for civilian activities.
Sue Schedler, Linda Morrison and Donna James, the show’s co-chairwomen, want to reassure the public that the quilt show, which draws 500 to 600 quilt-loving guests from all over Northern California, will be open Saturday, Oct. 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Oct. 4, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The air is clear and the roads are open.
The show will feature about 200 quilts, from minis a few inches across to king-size bedcovers executed in a variety of techniques and in all colors of the spectrum.
Other attractions will be featured quilter Judy Sisneros, the Country Store Boutique, a vendor mall, quilting demonstrations, themed gift baskets and an opportunity quilt. Angelina’s Bakery will cater lunch Saturday and Sunday.
For more information contact show co-chairs Sue Schedler, 707-900-8265, or Linda Morrison, 707-263-4504.
