Joe Cunningham will be our guest speaker for 2014. He will be speaking in our demo area.
The three-day event will feature demonstrations, vendors, vendor map, and the 2014 Raffle Quilt. We will be having a special Kids Row again this year. Here is the Kids Row entry form. 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 Bed Turning application.
NEW Bobbie Aug will once again be at Quilt Fiesta! to do quilt appraisals. If you would like to have a quilt appraised that is hanging in the show please print the two page form, fill it out and give it (with your check) to Phyllis Spalla. Doing this before the show starts will make it easier for Bobbie to know which quilts in the show (and how many) will need to be appraised. She will also take walk in appraisals.
Certain quilt show positions are listed below for direct emailing.

Map to downtown Tucson including the Tucson Convention Center. There is construction on the streets near the TCC. Exit the I-10 at Congress/Broadway and turn east. Turn south on Granada, either turn into the first driveway on the left or curve around onto Cushing(ignore the closed street sign) and drive into the Convention Center which will be on the left. Use lots B and C. Lot B is closest to the entrance. I will try and keep this updated closer to the show. The traffic for Sunday should be fine. Come on down.
Parking
There is a charge for parking in the lots. The price has been lowered to $6 for 2014. 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. There is a ramp from parking lot C but no stairs. Parking in Lot B is right near the door and there are no stair problems with that entrance either. 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.
Additional parking 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.
Wheelchairs, walkers
