GQCC Quilt Show in Walnut Creek CA

Each April, the GQCCC hosts a quilt show. This is a major event for the guild and for our community.  It is one of the largest shows in our vicinity and is the guild’s major fundraiser.

Highlights of our show include the display of over 150 beautiful quilts made by guild members, Vendors, a Quilt Challenge, a Telephone Quilt Challenge, Demonstrations, and topical lectures, GQCCC’s Country Store with Handmade Gifts, a treasure hunt, and more.

Everyone in the guild is encouraged to participate with quilt entries, volunteer on the quilt show committee, assist with set-up or take-down, sell admissions tickets, white-glove assistance with exhibited quilts, or in many other ways needed at the show.  Guild members also participate with the Country Store, where the guild offers a variety of donated fabric, notions, books, and member guild consignment items for sale.

Guests to the quilt show get to participate by choosing their favorite quilt in each of the Viewer’s Choice categories.  The winners will be announced Sunday.  Another highlight on the second day of the show is the raffle selection of the winner of that year’s Opportunity Quilt. To participate and display a quilt in the show, you must be a guild member.
