FIREHOUSE QUILTS
3RD ANNUAL QUILT SHOW
Cherry Hills Community Church
3900 E. Grace Blvd., Highlands Ranch, CO
July 18 & 19, 2008
Volunteers of Firehouse Quilts are so proud to invite our community to our annual FUND RAISING event!
Be sure to view all the photos
110 quilts will be displayed in our show by people from all over Colorado and other neighboring states. We have a full
Vendor Hall and we've scheduled a variety of
local musicians to play beautiful, background music (live!) all day/both days for you.
We collected 100 'special' FHQ snuggle quilts to show you in an hourly
Bed Turning event. After the show, these snuggle quilts will be donated to emergency organizations helping children in crisis.
Don't know what a
Bed Turning is?

Our
Dalmatian logo dog (Apple Cider) will be available (live!) both days from 1pm-3pm so you can take your picture with him; as well as two other really cute photo displays offered for fun & for free.
We created the CUTEST
jacket display racks so be sure to locate the quilted jackets display, you'll want to take pictures of that for sure!
Jeananne Wright (303-772-7684) will be doing
quilt appraisals for those of you that schedule in advance. Call her soon!
Two other local quilt clubs will be selling tickets to win their beautiful
raffle quilts.
We'll have 10
'Celebrity Judges', including our own Douglas County Sheriff Dave Weaver, taking part in a fun quilt judging event around noon on Friday, July 18th, just as the show opens.
Our resident
FHQ photographer, Walt Furstenau, will be taking pictures of all the quilts as they are on display, the winners, Celebrity Judges, our vendors & their wares, the Dalmatian, the musicians, the Bed Turning and of course, YOU, our visitors!
Come out and support Firehouse Quilts and their mission of helping children in crisis, one loving stitch at a time. And don't forget grandma; she'll enjoy this too.
Oooh, just come to the show and see it all for yourself!
Bring grandma too; she won't be able to believe her eyes !
Don't forget your camera!
Thanks,
Volunteers of Firehouse Quilts

Firehouse Quilts is a nonprofit organization, started in 2003 and continues to give back to the community in many ways.
www.firehousequilts.org
It is based out of the Littleton/Highlands Ranch, Co area.
Volunteers from Firehouse Quilts meet twice a month at the

to sew, quilt, sort fabric, cut & assemble kits that are available free to anyone that likes to sew/quilt for a great cause.
We make and donate 45" square snuggle quilts to fire departments all over the state of Colorado. We started making twin sized quilts for battered women's shelters and the Denver Rescue Mission late this year too.
Any style or patterns can be used in the donated quilts.
1st Thursdays, 4:30pm - 8pm
3rd Thursdays, 12:30pm - 4:30pm
Bring your machine!
