The Tucson Quilters Guild presents its 39th Annual Quilt Show, Quilt Fiesta!, February 17, 18 & 19, 2017 at the Tucson Convention Center (TCC) 260 S. Church St. Tucson, AZ. Quilts and other quilted items will be featured.
Lenore Crawford is our guest speaker. She will be speaking for no extra charge in our demo area. Here is a bio and pictures of two more of her quilts.
The three-day event will feature demonstrations, vendors, and the 2017 Raffle Quilt. We will be having a special Kids Row again this year. All demonstrations and speakers are free with admission to the show. Door prizes will be given out throughout the show. They are generously donated to the show. All paid admissions get a drawing ticket. Here is the application to submit a quilt for Vintage Quilt Turning.
Are you teaching your child to quilt?
Have they taken a class at a shop? We encourage you to start thinking of having
your child or grandchildren enter his/her quilt on
Kids Row in the Quilt Fiesta 2017. We
would like to see more children's quilts entered. What
a thrill for them to see their own creations displayed at the quilt show. They
will be so proud when they receive their ribbon! Kids
should be age 17 or younger. All work on
the quilts should be done by the child. Adults
may help with the quilting and binding, and provide assistance and guidance that
is appropriate to the age of the child. Click
here for KIDS ROW ENTRY FORM AND
INFORMATION.

again be at Quilt Fiesta 2017! to do quilt appraisals. If you would like to have a

Parking, Map and the Modern Streetcar
Map to downtown Tucson including the Tucson Convention Center. Exit the I-10 at Congress/Broadway and turn east. Turn right on Granada, either turn into the second driveway on the left or curve around onto Cushing and drive into the Convention Center which will be on the left. Use lots B and C. Lot B is closest to the entrance. Can even park in lot A which is on Church Ave. The underpass under the freeway is open, it is south of Congress Ave and leads directly to the Tucson Convention Center.
Tucson has a new
Modern Streetcar which has a stop at the Tucson Convention Center. It is the
Granada Ave.
at Cushing St. Station. It is at
the corner of Cushing and Granada. From there, just walk across the parking lot
to the entrance. It runs every 10 minutes on Friday and every 20 minutes on
Saturday and Sunday. Here is informaiton on purchasing
tickets or day passes. It's $1.50 for one way and $4 for a day pass.
There is a charge for parking in the lots. The price is believed to be $8 and can change at any time. There is some(very little) free parking on the street on the weekend and possibly Friday. I believe that cars can leave and re-enter the lot for no additonal charge on the same day. Check with the clerk upon entry. Lot B is closest to the entrance of the show which is on the west side of the Exhibition Hall. Lot C is also very close to the entrance. Parking in Lot B is right near the door and there are no stair problems with either lot. There is handicaped parking at the TCC. Enter the parking lot off Cushing Street or Granada Street. There are escalators, stairs and an elevator inside near the show entrance.
We have halls B&C. Tickets will be sold inside near our entrance doors next to the escalators on the entry level.
is available at locations near the convention center and at La Placita Garage at 211 South Church for $5 or so. This is a bit further to walk to our show but still close. It is a brightly colored parking garage next to the Cathedral at 6th Ave.
No food or beverages allowed on the show
floor. Food and drinks are available for purchase.
Wheelchairs, walkers
and strollers are allowed. Children are welcome and free under age 14. Rolling
shopping carts are not
allowed.
