Help Make Our Show a Success!

Thursday, October 23

Everyone who is coming (and I hope that’s everybody!) needs to sign up for Thursday. Unless you have signed up for a specific job on Thursday, sign up under the spot Quilt Show Set Up. 

The guild is providing lunch that day, and we will get enough food for the number of members who have signed up. If you're bringing guests, please add the number of friends and family members who are coming next to your name so we have an accurate count.

Remember, we have positions to cater to everyone's physical needs, so don’t hesitate. It’s a great way to meet other members!

During the show (October 24-25)

We have had a great response in members signing up; we are at 58%. We’re asking everyone to join in for three shifts so the work is shared evenly.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email me.

Find Your Way to the Show

Quilts from the village XIX is being held in the Athletic Center (building F) on the College of Lake County’s (CLC) Grayslake Campus. 

The address for your GPS is Building F, 19351 West Washington St., Grayslake, IL 60030-1198

CLC has two entrances. Both are on four-lane roads with traffic signals and dedicated turning lanes. If you use the official address, your GPS will take you to the Washington Street entrance. Once you enter the campus, follow the directions below. This is the simplest way to the venue.

Driving Directions

From Washington Street, turn onto CLC onto Lancer Lane. 

  • Go to the first stop sign. 

  • Turn right onto Willow Way.

  • Drive past the parking lots, and you will see the Athletic Center (F) ahead slightly to your left. It’s large and white with three pine trees near the entrance.

Park in any of the nearby lots.

You may choose to enter the campus from Route 45.

  • Turn onto Brae Loch Road.

  • Drive past the green space to Lancer Lane, which is the first road you will come to.

  • Turn right onto Lance Lane and drive to the stop sign at Willow Way.

  • (You will pass the James Lumber Center for the Performing Arts and all the academic buildings. They are not in alphabetical order, so don’t bother to look for building F.)

  • Turn left onto Willow Way .

  • Drive past the parking lots and you will see the Athletic Center (F) ahead slightly to your left. 

Park in any of the nearby lots.

For the more adventuresome, there is another way into the campus.

  •  If you live near Saddlebrook or Grayslake, take Route 120 to Atkinson Road.

  • Go north on Atkinson to the traffic light at Brae Loch Road. Turn right.

  • Follow Brae Loch to just past the baseball field, where you will see the sign for Willow Way. 

  • Turn left onto Willow Way. The road curves around a bit past a pond and the solar field, but keep going, and you will drive right to the front of the Athletic Center.

Parking

There are several parking lots near building F. The sign at Lot 7 indicates it is reserved for CLC staff, but we have permission to park there.

Keep in mind that school is in session and the lots may fill up with staff and students’ cars, especially on Thursday. Arriving early will give you a closer spot to the building. Consider dropping off your things at the building entrance and then parking away from the building. 

Please leave the closer parking spots for our attendees on Friday and Saturday.

Do not block the garage door entrance at any time. This entrance is for vendors and equipment delivery only.
