If you've read my blog much at all, you'll know that I do love a good quilt story. So when I was asked if I'd share here about the upcoming Quilters Take Manhattan, I said I'd be happy to do so. This is the sixth year for this annual event, held September 23-25, and will feature workshops with Victoria Findlay Wolfe; museum and garment district walking tours; featured speakers Kaffe Fassett, Dr. Carolyn L. Mazloomi, and Mark Lipinski; a scavanger hunt; and a Pizza Party at Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s home. What? Sounds pretty cool, right?!
Unfortunately, we can't all be there, which is why there's a "Moda Home Ticket" which includes a QTM Goody Bag packed with sponsor-donated samples, plus priority access to online video of the Sunday with Sponsors event (sent via email link 2 weeks after event). And the Quilt Alliance is giving away one ticket right here, and at each blog hop stop this week.
Meanwhile, visit each stop on the blog hop for more chances to win. Here's the schedule of participating blogs:
