 2022 Recap

By George, I think we got it.  We comfortably fit 50 quilters with plenty of room to walk around,etc.  Hilton has been very good to us in holding the sleep rooms rates low and they are always willing to meet all of our requests.    

For those reasons, we are keeping this set up!

We will be at the Hilton Garden Inn at 7675 Walton Street, Rockford.  This event is limited to no more than 50 people.  If you participated in the previous year, you have first dibs at a seat in 2023.  If I don’t fill all 50 seats by the first deadline, I will open the invitation to others.
