ESCAPE. CREATE. CELEBRATE.
Be part of the ultimate quilting adventure in Madison, one of the nation’s most popular cities and a great place to enjoy the beginnings of autumn in the Midwest. Located among beautiful lakes and parks, the city offers unparalleled shopping, dining and recreational opportunities, and the perfect getaway for quilting enthusiasts—Quilt Expo 2017, Sept. 7, 8, and 9.
Whether a seasoned quilter, a novice or just curious to learn more about quilting, all quilting buffs will thoroughly enjoy this opportunity to learn, laugh and draw inspiration from quilting masters who will share their ideas and expertise.
Presented by Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) with Nancy Zieman, Quilt Expo is designed to capture and revitalize the creative quilting spirit.

COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT
Quilt to Give, 9 a.m.–3 p.m. daily in the Atrium
Last year at Quilt Expo, 15 bed-size quilts were generously donated to the Quilt to Give community service project. Plus an additional 12 quilts were stitched and completed by Quilt Expo attendees. All of these quilts were donated to Enchanted Makeovers and Domestic Abuse Intervention Services (DAIS).
Baby Lock will again sponsor Quilt to Give in the atrium. Here are three ways you can participate. 1—Plan a 1/2-hour or more of time to sit, sew and give. 2—Donate fabric in bright colors (1/4 yds. or more)—fabric coordinates are welcome. 3—Donate a new bed quilt.
Want to review the quilting process ahead of time, or see what type of fabrics to donate? Go to nancyzieman.com/blog and click on the "Quilt to Give" tab. You'll see the process in 10 easy steps.
QUILT APPRAISALS
by Carol Butzke and Linda Honsberger
9 a.m.–5 p.m. daily by appointment only
Beginning July 10, schedule an appointment online or by calling 866-297-6545.
Quilt appraisals are a great way to insure against loss or damage and provide a written record that determines your quilt's fair market value.
For $50, you'll receive a professionally written document for each quilt appraised. Appraisal takes approximately 30 minutes, and information is held in trust between you and the appraiser.
Carol Butzke and Linda Honsberger are certified by the American Quilter's Society and are members of the Professional Association of Appraisers - Quilted Textiles.
