Color Makes Me Happy!
The 24th Annual Quilt show will run from February 19-March 15, 2019. This year's theme is Color Makes Me Happy - and promises to lift your spirit in the cold winter months! We will have a small quilt auction, store to find great bargains and lots of quilts! Over 100 quilts will be on display including projects our group have worked on throughout the last year. They include: "What's on your table?" challenge, Gypsy Wife and charity quilts.
Our featured quilter will be a founding member, Jeanette Root. She will display a small sample of over 45 years of quilting. Lecture - Mike Ellingson from Blue Earth MN will give two lectures on Tuesday February 19 at 1PM and 7PM. Tickets will be $8. Mike has built quite the reputation working with ombre fabric and will have a trunk show. Contact the museum at 651-552-7548 for tickets. Workshop - Saturday February 23 we will be holding a workshop taught by Mike that will show us how to use two fabrics to create a beautiful bargello quilt. You can get details after January 14 by contacting Sunny Kline at sunny@lifecircles-inc.com. Our show is at the Dakota County Historical Society Museum in South St. Paul. Their address is 130 3rd Ave North, South St. Paul MN 55075. Hours for the museum are: Wednesday & Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Thursday 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. |
Dakota County Star Quilters holds a quilt show each year at the South St. Paul Historical Society. Unlike most shows, our show stays up for over a month allowing you plenty of time to come visit our show. Our members contribute quilts for display and we usually have 100 pieces on display. There is an annual challenge project among the members, that visitors of the show can vote for their favorite one. Also shown are samples of charity projects the group has worked on and other hand crafted items.
The show is free but we kindly ask you to make a contribution to the Historical Society as they allow us to use their facility each year.
A boutique is open for visitors to shop at. Beautiful quilts, and plenty of fabric is available for purchase. There is also a small quilt auction that visitors can bid on during the run of the show.
