LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild invites entries for its 17th annual Falling Leaves Quilt Show.

​The show will be held Saturday, Oct. 6, and Sunday, Oct. 7.

The show organizers are calling for quilts from within the community to include in our show.

Entry forms are available now through Aug. 11 on the group’s Web site, or by contacting Barbara Haddon at 415-209-3044 or brhaddon@gmail.com.

You don’t need to be a member of the guild to enter your quilts. There is a need for quilts of all sizes as well as vignettes. Vignettes are small items such as baby quilts, doll quilts, table runners, placemats, garments, totes/purses or small wall hangings.

If you would like to enter your quilt, an entry form must be submitted by Aug. 11.

There is no limit on the number of quilts you may enter but each quilt entered must have its own entry form.

Quilters may choose to have their quilts or vignettes judged or to enter quilts and vignettes without judging. Many quilters find it beneficial to have their quilts judged, learning much from an impartial evaluation. The judges are very positive and will award ribbons in several areas.

The Ladies of the Lake Quilt Guild’s 17th annual Falling Leaves Quilt Show is held at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport on October 6 and 7. The hours on Saturday are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The guild welcomes all quilters, prospective quilters, and quilt lovers to its meetings and events.
