Quilt Show Committee Meetings
Meetings start at 7:00 p.m. (note: this is subject to change).
Our committee will meet the second Tuesday of each month with a few exceptions*. Meetings take place at Fremont Public Library, 1170 N. Midlothian Rd., Mundelein, IL.
Newsletter articles are due to Celia Stratman on or before the 24th of each month.
This is a tentative schedule. Cook Memorial Library is undergoing renovations, so there is not a meeting room available to us. Fremont has a meeting room so long as we get our monthly reservations in before any other group

Does my quilt need a hanging sleeve (rod pocket)?
Yes! All quilts displayed in the show need a 4-inch hanging sleeve EXCEPT:
an Art Quilt Challenge
a donated Quilt of Valor that will not be hung (it has NO Room or Section number on its ID card (ID cards are distributed before the show)
Temporary sleeves must be securely basted at 2-inch intervals, preferably on the bottom and top of the sleeve.
Tallgrass Prairie Studio has a great tutorial on adding a permanent 4-in. hanging sleeve.
Want to see a video? American Quilter's Society has a YouTube video about adding a sleeve that includes a sleeve idea for very wide quilts.
