If you ever wanted to see artists work in real time right before your eyes, now is the time. During show hours four artists will be working simultaneously (two hours at a time) in each of the rooms, demonstrating their craft. Come by Open Studios on the show floor and be inspired by what these top-notch artists are doing.

While you are watching they give explanations so you learn tips, skills and new ideas to apply to your quilting. And you can ask questions, too.

Margaret will be demonstrating during these times on the following topics.
