Setting up at Quilt Show is not for the faint of heart.

Quilted Twins is going to TWO of them this month of October 2025.

Quilted Twins will be at the first one in Riverview this coming weekend, Oct. 10 and 11, and then on the 24th and the 25th, we’ll be in Clearwater.

We have been learning a lot as we set up at at various shows and if you can stop by our booths, you should see fun things that you probably have never seen at the store!

The first one is being put on by the Piecemakers Quilt Guild out of Brandon.

They have a lot of fun, and have often visited us here at Quilted Twins. We are thrilled to be a part of this show for the first time ever. They graciously let me join late, because I really wasn’t sure how Michigan would go, and couldn’t commit lest I be dead in the road after that event. Well, it did take me 2 solid weeks of mental, emotional and physical recovery to get up the nerve to contact them, to see if they still had two spaces left, and miraculously, they did, so we took those spots!

If any of you from that guild are reading this, we are incredibly grateful that you are allowing us such a late entrance to your party! We’ll try to bring a good time to all who stop by our booth!

This first one (Oct. 10-11) is at The Regent, 6437 Watson Road, Riverview, FL 33578. Both days, admission will be $10 per day and the show will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The second one is in two weeks, and I can’t believe it’s finally here. I’ve never signed up for a Quilt Show so far in advance. It was so far ahead, (I believe it was a year ago now), and I hadn’t written anything down, that I literally would have nightmares about totally forgetting when it was, and messing up, missing out and just skipping the whole thing because of my crazy schedule.

I figure that some of you can appreciate my very old fashioned approach to keeping track of things.. Once this over with, I can take it down and toss itout! But until then, I have these dear ladies’ phone numbers at my beck and call!

I finally put it on my Google Calendar and, because I don’t often check my phone, I resorted to the old fashioned, taping it to the cupboards above me approach.

The second show is sponsored by Quilter’s Crossing Guild and is located at Countryside Recreation Center, 2640 Sabal Springs Drive, Clearwater, FL.

Their show will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 24 and 9 to 3 on Saturday, Oct. 25.

The three images shown here are from the Michigan show. Until we get to the center in Riverview, we won’t know exactly how we will be set up, but this is kind of what we go for.

We are very excited to be located next to TOPS Sewing and Vacuum Center, who will be selling machines galore! And we’re not selling a single machine! Funny how that works, right, since we don’t have anything but fabric - fabric and more fabric!

Shown below are some of the quilts from the QuiltFest in JAX in 2024, but these will be some of the types of things you’ll undoubtedly see.

When we go to the quilt shows, and set up, we are aware that most people are going to see the quilts, but we do appreciate it when people come to support the vendors, at least in a little way! Without the vendors, the quilt show wouldn’t be nearly as profitable as it is with us, as our set up fees are hearty and go to help the guilds pay for the show and make money to support their programs.

So, come on out and support us, if you find something you love! We try to have at least a few things that are not in the store!

So, if you’re in the area on either week, plan a field trip to come and see us.

Of course, the store will remain open with the rest of our team up here in Dade City!

Thanks for coming along with us on this journey!

Have a a great day wherever you are reading this.
