What is a Bed Turning?

It is a way to tell stories with quilts. Four presentations are on the schedule, two each day on Friday and Saturday at 11:00 AM and 1:30 PM on the main stage in the Brazos Center Ballroom.

Quilts are layered on a bed and then turned back one by one, revealing each quilt and allowing for a storytelling about its history, construction and significance.

We will be featuring antique and unique quilts, owned by members of the Quilt Guild. The oldest quilts were made in the mid-1880s; several date to 1920-1930s. Unique quilts may be more recent, but have a fascinating story to tell.

Visit the Silent Auction are to bid on quilts, quilting supplies, and gift items. Or purchase immediately at the “buy now” price. Silent Auction bidding will close twice a day and new items will be offered.

Koin us at 3:00 Saturday for the drawing for the beautiful raflfle quilt. Raffle tickets can be purchased at the show for $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00.
