Association of Pacific West Quilters

If you live or love the Pacific Northwest you'll want to take part in the 2010 Summer Symposium sponsored by APWQ. The symposium workshops will expose you to new ideas and new techniques from an outstanding roster of instructors. The natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest is at its best in this wonderful venue. Surrounded by over 1,000 wooded acres, the spacious Evergreen campus will offer attendees single-occupancy dorm rooms and all meals in the cafeteria. The event will begin with a get-together on Thursday evening and conclude with closing festivities on Sunday afternoon. Plan now to join us for a weekend of fiber, friends and fun!
